In my package I defined a library which is linked to my executable.. the cmakelists file looks like this:

...
rosbuild_add_library(mylib src/lib_src.cpp) #in the real cmake I have lot of sources in the library
rosbuild_add_executable(myexe src/exe_src.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myexe mylib)
...

When I run make everything is compiled. But if I run make again, everything is compiled again, even if nothing was modified.

Is it possible to compile only the changed parts? In my case would be fine to recompile the changed executable without recompiling the unchanged (and huge) library.

Thanks

Is there any standard way to generate documentation for nodes and parameters in a ros wiki like form?

I tried with rosdoc but I'm getting only the doxygen documentation.

I created the test/myTest.cpp file, which includes the myClass.h header file.

When I compile with make test I get the error ‘MyClass’ does not name a type, where MyClass is the class defined in myClass.h (the error is located where I declare a new MyClass variable)

I think I am missing something with the cmakelists file..

What should I do to compile everything correctly?

I am using ros electric..

Finally, after hours I have an answer..

The problem is in the cfg files.

You must be sure that the filename matches the third parameter of the last line of the file, the one with the exit statement.

For example if the last line is:

exit(gen.generate(PACKAGE, "dummy", "myNameIsImportant"))

the file name must be myNameIsImportant.cfg

I did not find this information in the documentation/tutorials...

That dido not fixed the issue.. I also removed everything apart from a single executable but it keeps compiling.. maybe is an issue with the dyn rec gen msg...

heres my cmakelists: https://gist.github.com/4131480 timestamps are ok..

Happy to hear that I am not expecting strange things :D which kind of information should I provide to help the debug?
