As mentioned in #1166 HOST path is included in cmake files. This is because urdfdom dependes on tinyxml which is build via makefile and it doesn't provide tinyxml.cmake. And urdfdom provides a FindTinyXML.cmake to find it. Then absolute path is used in FindTinyXML.cmake.

There is an issue raised in urdfdom projet 202. And urdfdom group had discussed this issue in https://discourse.ros.org/t/upcoming-api-break-in-urdfdom/34750. And they decided to use tinyxml2 which has good maintenance(tinyxml is no longer maintained). This is merged in master branch(https://github.com/ros/urdfdom/pull/186).

Since with latest version of urdfdom, the issue should not present with tinyxml2 is used. So the PR is a workaround to remove host path in cmakes.

urdfdom-xxx.cmake will used by other packages in cross compilation.
If HOST path is removed, they cannot find dependencies properly. Use
CMAKE_SYSROOT instead.

Thanks for providing this fix. I haven't gotten to merging the ros_opt_prefix work into kirkstone yet, but I should be getting to that very soon.

What steps do you take to reproduce the problem? Is there a particular recipe that depends on urdfdom that demonstrates the problem?

Hi Rob,
No special case. It's an unexpected discovery while using check_urdf and urdf_to_graphviz commands.
