Hello!
I git cloned the repository and when i run "sudo python setup.py install" for installation i get following error:
In file included from pyfreenect2.cpp:1:0:
pyfreenect2.hpp:5:41: fatal error: libfreenect2/libfreenect2.hpp: No such file or directory
#include <libfreenect2/libfreenect2.hpp>
^
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

could you help?
Thanks

Ahoi.
I had the same problems today.
These are the steps that worked for me:

1. First of, they seemed to have updated the project structure. A fix that worked was to include those in the setup.py as command line arguments:
   include_dirs=[numpy.get_include()]
   I changed to
   include_dirs=[numpy.get_include(), "../libfreenect2/include", "../libfreenect2/build"]
   --> You will have to adjust the position of the libfreenect2 directory.

2. As mentioned here you will have to compile libfreenect2 with a different cmake argument so that it can be found via the linker. As I did not do this and was too lazy to re-compile, I just simply created a symbolic link to /usr/lib for the binary of libfreenect:
   sudo ln -s $HOME/freenect2/lib/libfreenect2.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libfreenect2.so
   so that ld was able to find and link the binaries.

Using these two hooks, I was able to compile it, hope this helps :-)

@crauterb, if you want to submit a pull request, I'll certainly accept it -- I haven't done much (any) work with machine vision for about a year, and I'm unlikely to be able to devote a large amount of time to this project in the near future.

I followed what was suggested by @crauterb and it did work for me.
