    Another alternative is to run sshfs and mount the RPi rootfs directly. Then a script could call
    `DESTDIR=$RPI_MOUNT_POINT ninja -C ./build/rpi/bullsye install`

    # Cross compilation environment for libcamera for the RPi Bullseye OS

    This will let you build a cross compilation docker image, and use it to compile libcamera for the RPi.
    These commands are expected to be run in a checkedout libcamera source, and save the Dockerfile and meson cross file locally.
    These commands are expected to be run in a checked out libcamera source, and save the Dockerfile file locally. A meson cross file will be automatically generated inside the debian bullseye environment.

    If this works well, I'll hope to wrap this up into a better system for testing cross compilation and automating the build of RPi packages.

    ### Build your cross compile docker image:

    `/usr/bin/docker build -t libcamera/debian/bullseye-cross-arm64 Dockerfile.debian.bullseye.cross-arm64`
    `/usr/bin/docker build -t libcamera/debian/bullseye-cross-arm64 - < Dockerfile.debian.bullseye.cross-arm64`

    ### Run a shell in the new docker image in the local libcamera directory
    `docker run -v "$PWD":"$PWD" -v "$HOME":"$HOME" -w "$PWD" --rm -it libcamera/debian/bullseye-cross-arm64`
    `docker run -v "$PWD":"$PWD" -w "$PWD" --rm -it libcamera/debian/bullseye-cross-arm64`

    ### Configure meson to perform the cross build
    `meson build/rpi/bullseye --cross-file aarch64-linux-gnu.mesoncross`
    `meson build/rpi/bullseye --cross-file /usr/share/meson/arm64-cross`

    ### (Cross-compile) Build libcamera at host compile speeds
    `ninja -C ./build/rpi/bullseye/`
