This is at the moment not possible. I eventually installed the chroot environment and added i386 Precise and Fuerte on it. I then built and ran my application from there.

Finally bit the bullet and went with the chroot option. It is working now.

I have added the set(ROS_BUILD_STATIC_LIBS, true) command on my CMakelist file, but still no change.

I wanted to install ROS 32bit and ROS 64bit in the same machine. That it appears wont fly. I then compiled my 32bit App in a separate 32bit machine (with 32bit ROS under a 32bit uBuntu PC). I'm now trying to run my 32bit App in the 64bit environment (that is, 64bit fuerte and 64bit uBuntu). Launching it from a launch file (this is the syntax: "<node pkg="foo_bar" name="foo_bar" type="foo_bar"/>") I get this error: "ERROR: cannot launch node of type [foo_bar/foo_bar]: can't locate node [foo_bar] in package [foo_bar]"

ROSCD foo_bar navigates to the correct path. So it is not that ROS can't see the binary file.

What am I missing?

I used a second machine that has the 32bit fuerte ROS and built my application on it. When I try and run it on the 64bit uBuntu it complains about missing libraries.

2013-08-16 01:21:42 -0500 answered a question How to use a static library?

Try using this ROS CMakeLists macro: target_link_libraries(test RBIO)

2013-08-16 00:54:32 -0500 asked a question Is it possible to install ROS 32bit and a 64bit on the 64bit ubuntu?

I have a third party 32 bit library that I want to encapsulate with a ROS node/application. The problem is that I am running Fuerte (64bit) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (also 64bit). The GNU C (or GCC) and Ubuntu 32bit libraries were easy to get (get-apt ia32xxx command line), but I am struggling to get the ROS fuerte 32bit libraries.
