How to link with ros ARM libraries when cross compiling?

edit

Hello,

I am cross compiling for the raspberry pi, on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine with ROS hydro. I am almost there, but am still unable to link to the proper (ARM native) ROS libraries when cross-compiling. I have a nodelet that is dependent on several ros libraries, including actionlib. I also have installed ROS on the raspberry pi natively (Setting up Hydro on RaspberryPi), and copied those libraries to the buildroot of my cross-compile on my Ubuntu machine (set to ~/rpi/rootfs). However, I cannot get Catkin and CMake to link to those ros libraries in the buildroot, instead it always tries to use the ones in /opt/ros/hydro.

The error is:

Linking CXX shared library... /opt/ros/hydro/lib/libactionlib.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So, the linker is trying to link with the libactionlib.so in /opt/ros/hydro, when, it should link to the libactionlib.so in my buildroot folder.

I have setup a toolchain.raspi.cmake that looks like this:

set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER arm-linux-gnueabi-g++-4.4)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH $ENV{HOME}/rpi/tools/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi/arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi/sysroot $ENV{HOME}/rpi/rootfs $ENV{HOME}/rpi/rootfs/e2fsprogs-1.42.9 $ENV{HOME}/rpi/rootfs/usr $ENV{HOME}/rpi/rootfs/usr/lib $ENV{HOME}/rpi/rootfs/usr/include $ENV{HOME}/rpi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM BOTH)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)

I have also tried running the following script, before running catkin_make, to no avail:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/uav/catkin_ws:/home/uav/rpi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated
export ROS_ROOT=/home/uav/rpi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/uav/rpi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/uav/rpi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/uav/rpi/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

Also, my catkin_make looks like this:

catkin_make_isolated --cmake-args -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/uav/rpi/toolchain.raspi.cmake -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/uav/rpi/rootfs/usr/include

Is this an overlay issue? What do I need to do to get Catkin to link to the ROS libraries in the buildroot (for the raspi) and not in /opt/ros/hydro?

Another note, I got to this point because when I tried to run the nodelet on the raspi, it could not be loaded. Another post suggested that I explicitly link to the catkin_libraries in the CMakeLists.txt of the nodelet:

target_link_libraries(my_nodelet
   ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
 )

Thanks in advance!
