cross-compiling application to work on older linux operating system

Question

I need to cross-compile my application to run on a target machine using centos7. I am basing myself in the following cross-compilation repository https://github.com/tttapa/cross-python. This repository has a makefile to set up a toolchain with several libraries. However, my application has other depencies which are not in this toolcain libraries. The libraries I need to add to this toolchain are Sacado and Kokkos (both from Trilinos).

Based on the Makefile of this repository, which can install the toolchain and all the libraries, I tried to add a part to install kokkos as well but I did not managed to make it work. Anyone who has experience cross-copiling trilinos packages?

FYI: pypa provide manylinux container to build "manylinux" native python package. This should be ok to build wheel package working on centos-7
