Install the packages needed to build libfreenect, and the base libraries needed to run
sudo apt-get install git-core cmake freeglut3-dev pkg-config build-essential libxmu-dev libxi-dev libusb-1.0-0-devClone the Git Repository, build and install
git clone git://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect.git
cd libfreenect
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib64/Launch the app
sudo glview- push 'w' to move tilt up, push 's' to tilt down, push f to change the view.
Anomalies I've noticed:
- Despite attempting to implementing the directions on how to add users to the video group, glview still needed to be launched as root (sudo glview).
- Running freenect-demos prompts for an install of freenect-demos, yet after installing, it's not still not recognized as being installed.
- apt-get install freenect doesn't work
- freenect-glview command not found
Hello Jason
ReplyDeleteI have done all of these steps and yet I get

Sorry for the late reply, my day job got in the way of everything (was super cool though).
Deleterun the program as root.
Jason, hi!
Deletethey are already running the program as ROOT with: "sudo glview"
do we have to install something more like the primesense driver??
or what else do u mean, when said: "run the program as root."
Deleteas far as I know just with "sudo" at the begining was enough
