Otherwise, cross-compilation instructions are available in README.md.

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<buildrootpath>/output/host/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake ..
$ make -j4

I assume you may use yocto instead of buildroot, you would have to
locate the toolchainfile.cmake file accordingly.
