Copy link

I've been trying to get the provided example code running on Ubuntu 20.04, but I'm struggling to get the linking working. I'm new to compiling from source, so I'm hoping that there's a straightforward solution to this!
I initialised the repository using:

git clone https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect.git
cd libfreenect
mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake -L ..
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib/

Then when I try to run code from the examples folder it compiles just fine, but fails to build and I get linker errors. Trying to build tiltdemo.c gives:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccSAoLJq.o: in function `main':
tiltdemo.c:(.text+0xbe): undefined reference to `freenect_sync_set_led'
/usr/bin/ld: tiltdemo.c:(.text+0xd6): undefined reference to `freenect_sync_set_tilt_degs'
/usr/bin/ld: tiltdemo.c:(.text+0xf0): undefined reference to `freenect_sync_get_tilt_state'
/usr/bin/ld: tiltdemo.c:(.text+0x111): undefined reference to `freenect_get_mks_accel'
/usr/bin/ld: link errors found, deleting executable `tiltdemo'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Compilation failed.

This is especially confusing because when I run the linker in verbose mode, it's clear that the linker is looking in /usr/local/lib/. I've also verified that the functions with an undefined reference error are contained in the libfreenect_sync.so file in that directory by using 'nm'.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is the output of running the linker in verbose mode.
gcc -Wall -L/usr/local/lib -o "tiltdemo" "tiltdemo.c" -Xlinker --verbose (in directory: /home/user/Documents/ROS_car_project/Kinect controls)
