Clone repo  on this branch and follow the dockerized instructions: https://github.com/Ryanf55/x-ros/tree/micro-ros-agent\n2. Compile the micro ros agent as explained\n3. Observe the following error:\n\n```\n# [  2%] Linking CXX shared library libmicroxrcedds_agent.so\n# /usr/lib/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/11/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /opt/ros/humble/lib/libfastrtps.so.2.6.8: error adding symbols: file in wrong format\n```\n\nThe linker is incorrectly trying to link  to /opt/ros/humble/lib/libfastrtps.so.2.6.8. It should be linking to the shared library in the sysroot, not the host.\n\n**Expected behaviour**\nSuccessful compilation in a sysroot and linkage only to libraries in the sysroot. \n\n**System information (please complete the following information):**\n - OS: Host OS Ubuntu 22\n - ROS 2 humble on host OS\n- Target OS: Ubuntu 22\n\n**Additional context**\n\nI have ROS 2 humble installed on the host OS. MicroROS should compile in the sysroot and ignore all host libraries.\nBecause it does not ignore host libraries, it is finding libraries of the wrong architecture.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Ryanf55","@type":"Person","name":"Ryanf55"},"datePublished":"2025-08-31T22:18:57.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/258/micro-ROS-Agent/issues/258"}
