    That error indicates a missing library. Doing a grep -rn freenect_set_video_format . in the directory containing libfreenect revealed that fakenect/fakenect.c contained the required function. Reading the fakenect/README made clear that you need to link against that library when building kinect_mouse.

    So, edit kinect_mouse/CMakeLists.txt and put link_directories(/usr/local/lib64/fakenect) in it:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

link_directories(/usr/local/lib64/fakenect)

add_executable(kmouse kinect_mouse.c)

    Clear your build directory and build again.
