Openkinect setup

Greetings,

I attempted to install an xbox kinnect camera using cmake and git
The dependencies are:

cmake-3.20.2-1
libusb-1.0.24-2
Python 3.9.4

and I did a:

$ cd libfreenect
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

But when I try to load the camera using freenect-glview I get:

Number of devices found: 0

When I run lsusb | grep Xbox, I get:

Bus 001 Device 013: ID 045e:02b0 Microsoft Corp. Xbox NUI Motor

and:

cmake -L

gives me:

CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

CMake Error: The source directory “/home/n0p3/libfreenect/build” does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

If anyone knows how to install it on manjaro it seems to not be happy. libusb is uptodate. My best guess is it is a path issue. Thank you for your time.

fatal error: libusb.h: No such file or directory

I’m not familiar with the exact package you’re trying to build but if:

it just should work…

So, please, post an inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width, as that would be the minimum required information we need to help you… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

:thinking:

Also I ran

sudo pacman -U libfreenect-git-v0.6.2.r0.g4d6b941-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zs

Ah, no driver loaded! :sob:

Have you tried 5.10 LTS, or if that doesn’t give you a driver neither, 5.12 stable yet?

If no driver loaded neither, you indeed need to follow these instructions and if you did, you made a typo:

cmake -L ..

the .. will ensure you build the project one directory level up.

If you would have any errors go here to open issues, but everyone will assume you’re a developer that knows how to program C, C++ and Python.

Greetings,

Good to know I can try a different kernel. Spaced on that,
but saw that it actually should grep 3 devices total. 2 cameras,
and a motor. I will definitly go back and RTFM on cmake. I was
under the impression that using the makepkg as an alternate
installation method would work. I will try a scratch install again,
under a different kernel. I am pretty sure I hit all the correct
python packages. :grinning:

Openkinect libfreenect is in the AUR (Arch User Repository) as libfreenect.
