I downloaded the source code for freenect_stack from git to the src folder of my catkin workspace. When I tried to build it using catkin_make, I got the following error:

*-- +++ processing catkin package: 'freenect_camera'
-- ==> add_subdirectory(freenect_stack/freenect_camera)
*CMake Error at /home/ubuntu/ros_catkin_ws/devel/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:72 (find_package):

What is the camera_info_make config file? And how do I get it?

According to this(http://kinect-with-ros.976505.n3.nabble.com/Ros-kinect-kinect-on-ARM-td2654041.html) thread, it seems like some people have managed to get it to work with different ARM devices. I am not sure on what changes they made to make it work.

I managed to get Openni drivers from outside of ROS working on a BeagleBoard and got the Kinect to at least work on the board.But, I my goal is get to a point where I can run "roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch" from the BeagleBoard and it will start publishing the data from the Kinect. The problem is that everytime I try to install openni_camera or openni_launch I end up with dependency issues for the ARM board. Does someone have any hints on how to get openni_camera or openni_launch on a BeagleBoard or Gumstix or and ARM board?

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: I also already know how to install a basic version of ROS on the BeagleBoard (with openni_launch/camera or pcl).

Edit 2: I have mostly tries with groovy and Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 but I'm open to any distribution and any OS as long as it works.

I don't have openni drivers installed on the other machine. It's a BeagleBone with an ARM processor and I have yet to figure out how I can install the ros openni on it. I wanted to know if openni can run on my laptop but look for the Kinect off of the BeagleBone rather than itself.

I want to get data from a Kinect connected to a machine and pass it to my laptop (which is connected to the first machine). I know I can run roscore on the first machine and make it the master. Then, I was wondering if I can run openni_launch on my laptop and make it recognize that a kinect is connected to the master machine (not my laptop). So far roslaunch on openni fails on my laptop because the kinect is not connected directly to my laptop.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to get the Kinect work nicely with a Beaglebone. Currently, I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on the sd card for the Beaglebone. Also, I have a basic version of ROS on the Beaglebone using ROS UbuntuARM tutorial. But when I try to install Openni on it, I run into dependency issues since I'm working with the an ARM device. I wanted to know if it is possible for me to use the Beaglebone to pass (or process) information from the Kinect to a laptop. I've seen some articles saying it is possible to pass info but I can't get it to work. Is it because I'm trying to use Precise+Groovy? Should I try another combination? I don't really know much about working with the Beaglebone so any help is appreciated.

I need to install ROS on beaglebone for work but I don't really know how to since the beaglebone won't connect to the internet. Some one suggested that I should cross-compile the code from source for on my laptop and then transfer the files...? Can anyone explain how I would do that since I've never built anything from source before?
