Hi,
Building further ROS packages on the target has not been implemented in meta-ros yet. These two issues point out the problems that some users had that tried it in the past:
Since then, no one has actually tried to do this, but we have been working on proper SDK support (nativesdk support in the bitbake tool chain), and the patches of this pull request below might help for your use case as well:
I actually just published my development branch of that pull request that I adjusted and rebased to the current master:
I did some minimal testing of that branch so far, but I don’t know if it resolves your use case.
Let us know if these patches already resolve the issue for you, or which further problem you encounter. I actually don’t know if building ROS packages on the target is easy to get working or involves a lot of patching of the catkin build tool.
