OpenNI (Unstable branch) ------------------------ Website: www.openni.org Forum: http://groups.google.com/group/openni-dev Wiki: Coming soon! Unstable branch new features: * Added support for multiple sensors. * Added a brand new .NET wrapper and .NET samples (with full support for Mono as well). OpenNI.net is now also installed to the GAC. * Added a new "PlaybackSpeed" functionality to the Player. * ONI files seek optimization: added a data index for each node in ONI files. Seeking can be now done a lot faster! * Added MacOSX platform support. * Improved README! (much more detailed instructions...) Unstable branch fixes: * Linux: xnOSCreateProcess() would cause zombie processes. * When using WaitXUpdateAll, the MetaData of a non-updated node would not change its IsDataNew flag. * C++ wrappers: RegisterToGestureChange would register to pixel format change. * Shared memory: creating shared memory failed if the name contained slashes. * Xml query for max version checked the min version by mistake. Binaries are available at: http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/openni-binaries/20-latest-unstable Please use this with the sensor unstable branch located at: Source: https://github.com/PrimeSense/Sensor/tree/unstable Binaries: http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/openni-compliant-hardware/31-latest-unstable Release Notes: -------------- * At the moment, the default is to compile the code with SSE3 support (this is also true for the supplied binaries). If you have a CPU without such support, please remove the sse compiler flags from the make files. (A good hint for this error is that you encounter an "illegal instructions" messages) * MacOSX: Only OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with an Intel based CPU is currently supported. Build Notes: ------------ Windows: Requirements: 1) Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2010 From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb984878.aspx 2) Python 2.6+/3.x From: http://www.python.org/download/ 3) PyWin32 From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ Please make sure you download the version that matches your exact python version. 4) NSIS 2.46 From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/files/NSIS%202/2.46/ 5) NSIS-2.46-strlen_8192.zip patch From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/files/NSIS%202/2.46/ This is a required patch to fix a critical bug in NSIS with long environment variables. Simply unpack it into the directory where NSIS is installed and overwrite all files. Optional requirements (To build the USB device driver): 1) Microsoft WDK From: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/wdk/wdkpkg.mspx The package already includes a precompiled and digitally signed 32/64 bit driver. Optional Requirements (To build the documentation): 1) Doxygen From: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestsrc 2) GraphViz From: http://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php Building OpenNI: 1) Go to the directory: "Platform\Win32\CreateRedist". Run the script: "RedistMaker.bat". This will compile and prepare the redist exe files that includes everything. 2) Install the exe you've just made which is located in Platform\Win32\CreateRedist\Final\OPENNI-Win32-1.x.x.x.exe The installer will also create the necessary environment variables (OPEN_NI_xxx), add the DLLs to the system path and register the internal modules with NiReg. The visual studio solution is located in: Platform\Win32\Build\OpenNI.sln. When doing development it is recommended that you change the environment variables to point to your development directory instead of the default C:\Program Files\OpenNI. (This can save you lots back and forth file copying...) Important: Please note that even though the directory is called Win32, you can also use it to compile it for 64-bit targets (AMD64/x64). Building the USB driver (Optional): Simply go into the directory "OpenNI\Platform\Win32\Driver\Build" and run the "BuildAll.bat" script. For your development convenience, you can also use the solution: "Platform\Win32\Driver\Build\psdrv3.sln" but official driver builds should only be made with the batch file above, that uses the proper DDK environment. Note: The driver build tool requires a system environment variable called "DDKPATH" that points to the WDK installation dir (for example: "c:\WinDDK\7100.0.0"). To add an environment variable please follow these steps: Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> New (at the "System Variables" tab). Linux: Requirements: 1) GCC 4.x From: http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html Or via apt: sudo apt-get install g++ 2) Python 2.6+/3.x From: http://www.python.org/download/ Or via apt: sudo apt-get install python 3) LibUSB 1.0.8 From: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/ Or via apt: sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev 4) FreeGLUT3 From: http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php#download Or via apt: sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev Optional Requirements (To build the documentation): 1) Doxygen From: http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestsrc Or via apt: sudo apt-get install doxygen 2) GraphViz From: http://www.graphviz.org/Download_linux_ubuntu.php Or via apt: sudo apt-get install graphviz Optional Requirements (To build the Mono wrapper): 1) Mono From: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html Or via apt: sudo apt-get install mono-complete Building OpenNI: 1) Go into the directory: "Platform/Linux-x86/CreateRedist". Run the script: "./RedistMaker". This will compile everything and create a redist package in the "Platform/Linux-x86/Redist" directory. It will also create a distribution in the "Platform/Linux-x86/CreateRedist/Final" directory. 2) Go into the directory: "Platform/Linux-x86/Redist". Run the script: "sudo ./install.sh" (needs to run as root) The install script copies key files to the following location: Libs into: /usr/lib Bins into: /usr/bin Includes into: /usr/include/ni Config files into: /var/lib/ni To build the package manually, you can run "make" in the "Platform\Linux-x86\Build" directory. If you wish to build the Mono wrappers, also run "make mono_wrapper" and "make mono_samples". Important: Please note that even though the directory is called Linux-x86, you can also use it to compile it for 64-bit targets and pretty much any other linux based environment. MacOSX: Requirements: 1) Xcode 3.2.5 From: http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/index.action https://developer.apple.com/ios/download.action?path=/ios/ios_sdk_4.2__final/xcode_3.2.5_and_ios_sdk_4.2_final.dmg Please note that you need to register as a mac developer (It's free!). 2) MacPorts From: http://www.macports.org/install.php http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg 3) LibTool Installed vis MacPorts: sudo port install libtool 4) LibUSB 1.0.8 (The patched development tree) Installed vis MacPorts: sudo port install libusb-devel +universal Note: Do not forget the +universal, it's very important!! If you're previously already installed libusb-devel then use "sudo port uninstall libusb-devel" and reinstall it again with the +universal flag. Optional Requirements (To build the documentation): 1) Doxygen Installed vis MacPorts: sudo port install doxygen 2) GraphViz Installed vis MacPorts: sudo port install graphviz Optional Requirements (To build the Mono wrapper): 1) Mono From: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/2.8.1/macos-10-x86/4/MonoFramework-2.8.1_4.macos10.novell.x86.dmg Installed vis MacPorts: sudo port install mono Building OpenNI: 1) Go into the directory: "Platform/Linux-x86/CreateRedist". Run the script: "./RedistMaker". This will compile everything and create a redist package in the "Platform/Linux-x86/Redist" directory. It will also create a distribution in the "Platform/Linux-x86/CreateRedist/Final" directory. 2) Go into the directory: "Platform/Linux-x86/Redist".
