Summary from the ROSCon cross-compilation Meetup:
Current issues faced by users cross compiling ROS 2:
- lack of Python or third party library support in the instructions currently hosted on the ros2-for-arm organization.
- lack of instructions + sysroot for Android compilation makes it hard to compile high level packages and demos
Suggestions:
- Provide a single place for aggregating cross-compilation instructions
- Community members can modify the content to add instructions for their platform/architecture.
- Community members will also be in charge of testing / updating the instructions they provided if necessary.
- Possible location: a page on the ros2 wiki with section for each platform/architecture.
- Leveraging existing toolchains and infrastructure (@esteve suggested [polly](
https://github.com/ruslo/polly)) could reduce maintenance effort and provide better experience for users.
- contributors can elect to provide a sysroot to allow installing and linking against target libraries more easily.
I unfortunately don't have the full list of attendees, @nuclearsandwich @wjwwood @filipe.rinaldi @pokitoz @lmayencourt feel free to add missing information or @ attending participants I didn't tag above.
