@Sarwar
Using your method, I used:
git clone github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty (*omitted "thx8841_sv305")
cd indi-3rdparty (*no "thx8841_sv305" dir to change to)
then, was able to successfully:
git checkout thx8411_sv305_2

then:
cd libsv305-build (*dir prev. created)
cmake ~/sv305project/indi-3rdparty/libsv305 (*seemed successful, no errors)
make (*seemed successful)
sudo make install (*seemed successful)

then:
cd indi-sv305-build (*dir prev. created)
cmake ~/sv305project/indi-3rdparty/indi-sv305 (*successful/no errors)
make (*partially successful? some repeating error types of the form: /usr/bin/ld: //usr/local/lib/libSVBCameraSDK.so: invalid string offset 3931 >= 552 for section `.strtab' ) *last printline following make command: " [100%] Built target indi_sv305_ccd "
sudo make install (*seemed successful, no errors)

At that point, i tried running indi from sudo per your comments, but got an error that driver wasn't found (no details as this was last night).
Today, brought up kstars/ekos/indi panel, but no (new) driver was available in the dropdown. Closed and tried running indi via sudo again, same error.
Should I be running a command to update my local ekos indi, or point it to the driver? Is there a step I've missed that involved moving the (newly built) driver into a space where local ekos/indi can find it?
(re: prereq's mentioned in a post here are installed)
thanks
