Python3 wrapper, c1: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'freenect.c': No such file or directory

[hugowhite]

I am trying to install the python3 wrapper I believe I have freenect installed correctly as the test exes work correctly but when I open the wrappers/python/setup.py this error comes up. I believe its because its trying to call it based on the assumption I have the python wrapper. Do I need to rebuild with the original python wrapper aswell as the python 3 one or do I need to edit setup.py to work with calling freenect3.c instead of freenect.c as that is the only thing I can think of as I do not have a freenect.c file. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been slowly working through the install for the past few days but this step is really stumping me.

Has any solution been found yet? I'm having the same issue.

The setup.py file was never really updated. I build the python wrapper via cmake like this.

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -L -DBUILD_PYTHON3=ON
make

I tried this, but still doesn't work. I test it in Ubuntu 20.04
