Build OpenNI on OS X, Universal libusb?

to openn...@googlegroups.com

It appears that I cannot build a universal redistributable OpenNI on OS X because I lack an i386 compatible libusb.

I found a thread about building a universal libusb on OS X where I learned the "lipo -info" command.

http://libusb.6.n5.nabble.com/Universal-binary-Mac-OS-X-td157.html

I've tried quite a bit of rebuilding libusb with CFLAGS and LDFLAGS while configuring and making it, but it's not working.

Here's what RedistMaker says

Try "sudo port install libusb-devel +universal". It worked for me.

Also, are you getting libusb from macports?

ok that works

Amir-Hirschs-MacBook-Pro-2:Mac amir$ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib

Architectures in the fat file: /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib are: x86_64 i386

I can also report that it fixed the .NET wrapper in the binary download!

this is a good one for the FAQ :)

Hi Amir!
I'm glad it's all working for you now!!! :-)

Please note that the libusb issue is already in the README file under
the MacOSX requirements:
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.

Thanks,
Ziv.

it's worth summarizing in one place for google searchers:

if the OpenNI .NET wrappers and examples are failing on Mac OS X with a message box saying "Error: OpenNI", even though you may be able to run all the other OpenNI and NITE examples, it is likely you do not have the universal i386 / x86_64 libusb driver installed.

you need to use port to uninstall you existing non-universal libusb-devel and do "sudo port install libusb-devel +universal"

It would be nice to eventually get rid of the dependence on macports as it's sort of an annoying dependency.

The dependence is not on macports, but on libusb's latest development code, compiled in a universal format. If you can find simpler way than macports to download, compile and install libusb's latest development code, you are free to do that.

Roxlu,

I was trying to get the ofxOpenNI patch working when installed macports to compile LibUSB.

I ended up going to the github for the OpenNI unstable driver and starting to follow the instructions there to get LibUSB working.

It might be helpful if you added a link to your LibUSB on github in case people just want to use openframeworks.

That way they won't have to resort to following two sets of instructions to get it working.

So far I haven't been able to get the OpenNI examples to work at all whereas your patch works, so it seems like your patch is the easier alternative.

I had to install libtool AND libusb, re: the read me. I don't know if that makes a dif, and something's going over my head, but both were needed, and handled by the macports install, it wasn't *just* libusb that was needed.

Me too George, just forgot to mention that.

I'm not sure if libtool is necessary only for compiling libusb or if you also need it to run the run the drivers.

Either way, it takes a long time to compile all the dependencies for both those tools.

It would be nice if we didn't have to do that as it takes hours.

Hi Jacob!

Can you please describe which parts of the process took hours?

I have installed macports, libutil & libusb-devel on a fresh mac and
it only took a couple of minutes.

Anyway, We will add a pre-patched source of libusb-devel into our
redist so you will have an alternative to macports in the next release
and you will not be forced to install it.

Thanks,
Ziv.

Ziv,

When I install libtool and libusb-devel using macports it requires downloading and compiling a lot of different dependencies.

It could be because I have a slow internet connection.

Macports seems to require care and feeding. If you go a couple years
without using it (like me) it can take a long time for it to get back
up to a current state. I still don't have it working again right now--
I might have to uninstall and reinstall the damn thing. I don't recall
what I used it for before, and I'm unsure if anything else has, via
scripting or whatever. So if I do, I'm not sure what's going to break.

If you can get that packaged usb code up soon, that would be awesome.
It'd definitely make this easier to distribute to non-technical users.

Someone just needs to make a monolithic EXE an pkg installer. I'm

Hey John,

You could try using roxlu's compiled libusb in the mean time:

https://github.com/roxlu/OpenNI/tree/master/Source/External/LibUSB/Mac

This is where the files go according to port contents libusb-devel +universal:

Port libusb-devel contains:

/opt/local/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h

/opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib

/opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.a

/opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib

/opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.la

/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/libusb-1.0.pc

I'd be interested in hear if you can get it working just by copying the files to those locations.

Jacob

To be honest, I installed MacPorts + LibTool + LibUSB on a brand new
MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6 and it really only took several minutes...
I was really pleasantly surprised to see it working so quickly and
easily.

Anyway, in the short term we will include the pre-patched libusb
sources to make everyone's life easier and in the long term we will
prepare a dmg package installer and be like every other normal program
on the mac :-)

I did this and it did (does) work. I'd still prepackage libusb with
the other stuff, just to make packaging easier. It'd be a lot easier
for non-techie users to install code based on this without them
needing Macports installed and in a good state.

I did it yesterday. I posted a nutshell summary of how to do the
build, and building libutil and libusb-devel on a fresh MacPorts
install literally takes hours on a MacBook Pro. On the other hand the
instructions for doing the build which I posted in the DUMMY thread
work very well.

Hello all,

I am having problems with installing libusb-devel +universal. It Runs
for about 30 min and then when it is fetching libusb-devel it gets an
error.

Has something changed in the past three weeks?

Best,

Tim

is the error telling you to install java from apple's website?

No, I just run the sudo command from the terminal and it seem to stop and get an error when it is trying to fetch Libusb-devel... Maybe it doesn't find it... Not sure should I update my java?

sudo port install libusb-devel +universal eventually gets this error

---> Fetching libusb-devel

Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: Git clone failed
