i hope to get some time with it this weekend.

It is there, it is just not named. If you read through this thread kengs said "That's not a big issue. There is a file that translates the USB VID/PID to a description. That file needs to be updated.
wiki.debian.org/HowToIdentifyADevice/USB".
So it really has nothing to do with the driver or the library finding the camera.
Are you still having an issue? What os flavor are you using? I was able to get it going on Ubuntu mate x64. You may need to do a fresh os and start over.

@MG!IFOS!
I just went through your steps and was able to successfully build both the library and driver.
Did you get all the prerequisites that Sarwar pointed out? Pretty sure you need:
sudo apt-get install libindi-dev
You also need to get these items (zlib and cfitsio ) from this README:
github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty/blob/master/indi-sv305/README
sudo apt-get install zlib1g
sudo apt install libcfitsio-dev
I had no build errors in either the cmake or make:

@ MG!IFOS! this is what i did to get the camera driver working in Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop and Ubuntu Mate x64 on the rpi.
From memory:
create directories to hold project and builds:
mkdir ~/libsv305-build
mkdir ~/indi-sv305-build
mkdir ~/sv305project
download project from github:
cd ~/sv305project
git clone --depth=1
github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty.git
git checkout thx8411_sv305_2
build library:
change to the ~/libsv305-build directory
cmake ~/sv305project/indi-3rdparty/libsv305
make
sudo make install
build driver:
change to the ~/indi-sv305-build directory
cmake ~/sv305project/indi-3rdparty/indi-sv305
make
sudo make install
to start the indiserver
sudo indiserver indi-sv305-ccd
i had to start the indiserver as sudo, though im unsure why at this point. perhaps because the library and driver were installed as sudo.
this library is still experimental (though its working quite well).

Driver runs on Ubuntu Mate 20.04 x86 on rpi4. I had some trouble with the driver reporting camera not found unless indiserver was started as sudo. Will try and investigate. Cant wait to try this out tonight. I will report on issues if any are found.

So using Ubuntu Mate x64 on the raspberry pi 4 i was able to install everything and run indiserver, however the camera is not detected. Oddly, on Ubuntu on my laptop, the camera comes up as:
Bus 005 Device 005: ID f266:9a0a CKCamera CKCamera
But on the raspberry pi:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID f266:9a0a
Same ID, no name ! No sure where to go on that one....
