Using
generate_dynamic_reconfigure_options(ros/config/params.cfg)
in my `CMakeLists.txt` of a package, some strange directories within the package are created and I don't know why. Here is my structure before a build (top level is the catkin workspace with the toplevel CMakeLists.txt).
├── CMakeLists.txt -> /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/toplevel.cmake
└── src
└── pack_template
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── library
│ ├── include
│ │ └── lib.hpp
│ └── src
│ └── lib.cpp
├── package.xml
└── ros
├── config
│ └── params.cfg
├── include
│ └── template
│ └── template.hpp
└── src
└── template.cpp
I then use `catkin build` with this CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(pack_template)
add_compile_options(-std=c++11)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED
roscpp
rospy
std_msgs
dynamic_reconfigure
)
generate_dynamic_reconfigure_options(
ros/config/params.cfg
)
catkin_package(
LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME}
CATKIN_DEPENDS std_msgs
)
include_directories(
include
ros/include
library/include
${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
cfg/cpp
${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} STATIC
library/src/lib.cpp
)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}_node
ros/src/template.cpp
)
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME}_node PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "example_node" PREFIX "")
add_dependencies(${PROJECT_NAME}_node
${${PROJECT_NAME}_EXPORTED_TARGETS}
${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS}
)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
${catkin_LIBRARIES}
)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}_node
${PROJECT_NAME}
${catkin_LIBRARIES}
${Boost_LIBRARY_DIR}
)
and my folder structure after a build looks (deleted some hopefully uninteresting things)

Is there a way to define a target location to create these directories? I want them
1. to be created in the subfolder `ros`, where all my ros dependent things are.
2. the paramsConfig.h should go to `ros/include` not in `src`
Edit: There was a mistake in my original post, I edited the package structure. My plan was to put all ros-dependent stuff in `package_main/ros/`, hence there are an include and src directory. Second my ros-independent code should go to `package_main/library` src and include. Unfortunately by using the dynamic_reconfigure command ros creates the two directories `package_main/cfg` and `package_main/src`. Both is a bit awkward to me, since one may expect the `*.cfg` file in the `cfg` directory and the sources in the `src` directory.
Edit 2: Output of tree for better readability
Edit 3: Since it seems to be more complex, I created a minimal example, and edited respectively.
