error: expected type-specifier for libfreenect

[juliangaal]

Libreenect is installed and found by the cmake file in kinect2_bridge, however, during compilation i get this error:

/home/chitt/julian/reground_workspace/src/iai_kinect2/kinect2_bridge/src/kinect2_bridge.cpp: In member function ‘bool Kinect2Bridge::initPipeline(const string&, int32_t)’:

That's strange, because libfreenect2 is used before that point in the same file. Any idea what the problem could be?

I am also facing the same problem

Solved it by doing a fresh installation as described here: https://github.com/LCAS/iliad/wiki/Installing-libfreenect2-and-iai_kinect2-in-Ubuntu-16.04
