Subject: Re: [ros-users] Cross Compiling ROS
Dear Javier,

I would recommend to use the Yocto Project http://www.yoctoproject.org/
and bitbake for cross compiling. There exists even some meta-packages
for this.

https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros

This runs very nicely and is relatively easy to configure. It is build
on ROS Hydro. I would migrate to Hydro anyway, because Fuerte is EOL.


I am working with Yocto/Dora branch and ROS, using the meta-ros packages.


Cheers,

Markus
