Kinect_ros2 cannot locate rosdep definition for [libfreenect]

[ysmmrao1905]

Hello,
I wanted to connect kinectv1 with ros2 (Humble). I have tried to install the kinect_ros2 driver as per the set of instructions given in the githup repository. As soon as i reached the rosdep part i received the following ;
ERROR: The following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies:
kinect_ros2 : cannot locate rosdep definition for [libfreenect]
Continuing to install resolvable dependencies...
#All required rosdeps installed successfully

When i apply the colcon build command I get a couple of warnings like :
unused parameter dev
unused parameter timestamp
and then :
Finished <<< kinect_ros2
Summary : 1 package finished
1 package had stderr output : kinect_ros2

and When i check the list of packages in ros2 i dont find the kinect_ros2 package in it.
Could you give me a solution for this?

in libfreenect installation

git clone https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect
cd libfreenect
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -L .. # -L lists all the project options
make

instead of make do sudo make install so the library will be installed in /usr/local/lib. Just ignore the error message: kinect_ros2 : cannot locate rosdep definition for [libfreenect]. As long as you can build it with colcon without errors, you're good to go

Also execute: sudo ldconfig -v
before sudo make install
