Thank you for the explanations as always. It’s a great help. I have the `crt*` files and `libpthread` files, the problem was compiler not finding them. I thing the error came at the linking stage.

However, I gave up on that and started **cross compiling ROS fully** and ended up creating [this fork](https://github.com/teshanshanuka/ROS_crosscompile) of an old repository which was for crosscompiling an older ROS version.

Later I found out that there already is a repo which does what I want (I don’t know how I missed that). It cross compiles your ROS packages with no hassle.

[https://github.com/ros-tooling/cross\_compile](https://github.com/ros-tooling/cross_compile)

If no other problems arise from my dependencies, I’ll be using this from here onward
