Hello,

I'm trying to get a Kinect work on a Beaglebone with  Angstrom distribution.

 -  So I started with trying to install freenect library, using GIT repository. But an error came saying that openGL isn't found.

 - Then, I tried installing freeglut library, but downloading the package, and installing it manually :
>tar -vxf freeglut-2.8.1.tar.gz
>cd freeglut-2.8.1
>./configure
>make all
This gave me an error, saying that GL/gl.h , GL/glu.h are missing ...
I don't really know how to handle this error, since the two files aren't there, and I don't know where to get them

Thank you in advance. If anyone got kinect working on Angstrom, please let me know how.

Is there an option in freeglut to get a CMake file added?  You may have to find one for that distro, sadly.

I think the problem is rather that nearly all embedded systems only
support OpenGL ES, which isn't supported by regular [Free]GLUT. I
remember someone did a port of libfreenect which used OpenGL ES instead,
but I can't remember exactly where...

I see,

I found this :  http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/docs/gles.php    about open GL ES, I'm going to try it.

Thank you
