How do you cross compile C code for controlling the Raspberry Pi camera on an x86 platform?
I'm trying to create a unittest for compiling and testing the code on a generic x86 continuous integration server (but obviously not connecting to the camera) but I get an error for a missing vcos library:
/home/travis/catkin_ws/src/raspicam_node/src/RaspiCamControl.cpp:32:33: fatal error: interface/vcos/vcos.h: No such file or directory
#include "interface/vcos/vcos.h"
^
compilation terminated.
/home/travis/catkin_ws/src/raspicam_node/src/RaspiCLI.cpp:46:33: fatal error: interface/vcos/vcos.h: No such file or directory
#include "interface/vcos/vcos.h"
^
As far as I can see, this library is only available in the repos for the Raspiberry Pi, and have no x86 candidates in the standard Ubuntu repos. How do I fix this?
Edit: I managed to fix all the include errors by manually installing the Raspberry Pi firmware headers to my /opt/vc.
It now seems to compile my code fine, but it's failing to link it to some shared objects:

I'm assuming this is because the *.so objects in my /opt/vc/lib directory are compiled for ARM whereas my makefile is compiling for the localhost's architecture, which is amd64? How do I specify architecture in a CMakelist?
