At my project we also make use of some external packages that need to be crosscompiled before our application. I use the externalproject and manipulate the install step so that it installs the libraries in a known directory inside the binary directory. This way you can add that directory as hardcoded path during the configure phase of your main project. By depending on the external project, the libraries always get installed before the main project. The find modules also make use of a setting called CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH, which you can set in your toolchain file. Using this setting you can let the find modules search for Python in a specific location as well. This approach works for me (and I build a kernel in my project as well). Note: the above works for our project as it is not distributed to a large number of users. If you want to distribute your project then your needs may differ. HTH, Micha
