Compiling Noetic on armhf buster

Hello, I'm trying to install ROS Noetic-robot on a Pi zero w. Since there is no precompiled binary for armhf, I tried compiling it myself.

compiling always fails on the catkin package, saying it can't see empy. I do have python3-empy installed.

-- Could NOT find PY_em (missing: PY_EM) CMake Error at cmake/empy.cmake:30 (message): Unable to find either executable 'empy' or Python module 'em'... try installing the package 'python3-empy' Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake/all.cmake:164 (include) CMakeLists.txt:8 (include)

UPDATE: using -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 as a catkin_make_isolated argument appears to fix the problem. I also increased SWAP to 2GiB, so that might be needed too.

Ankther Update: The compilation took about 10 hours but it was successful. I tried several packages and they were working properly.

Might be worthwile to add instalation instryctions for Noetic on a Pi, since previos distros have them.

I'm doing this myself at the minute and writing up my notes as I go, I'll update the wiki accordingly :)
