Absolute path in libFreenectDriver.0.4.0.dylib (OSX 10.9)

[paolo-scoppola]

1. go to /libfreenect/build/lib/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver
2. otool -l libFreenectDriver.0.4.0.dylib
3. you can see at the top:
   name <path_to_libfreenect>/libfreenect/build/lib/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver/libFreenectDriver.0.4.dylib (offset 24)
   4 "install_name_tool -change" doens't work because libFreenectDriver.0.4.dylib is a link to libFreenectDriver.0.4.0.dylib.

This force you to keep libFreenectDriver.0.4.dylib in the above location, otherwise your app doesn't run.

Is there any solution?

Thanks,

Paolo

Thanks very much Piedar,

I think there is some error in your (new) CMakeLists.txt. After typing "cmake -L .." I get this:

CMake Error: Error in cmake code at
/Users/Paolo/Desktop/libfreenect-osx-absolute/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver/CMakeLists.txt:35:
Parse error. Function missing ending ")". End of file reached.

Sorry, I didn't understand I had to remove comments

Yeah, I just did a quick push to another branch so I could clone the changes on a Mac. Do any of the changes fix the problem? If so, I will have to figure out exactly which does so I can add that one in the master branch.

Yes it works. libFreenectDriver.0.4.1.dylib doesn't contain any full path. I also change INSTALL_NAME_DIR and the path to libusb to fit my project requirements and everything works.

Now I'm testing grab performance by combining (Xtion, Kinect) with (OpenNI 1.5.7, OpenNI 2.2, OpenKinect). My app (i386) runs on OSX 10.9 , with libusb 1.0.18. I don't see differences when I enable the libFreenectDriver, but I'm just started today.

OK good. I will have to do some experiments with install_name because I am not that familiar with how dylib works. I will close this issue once I fix it in master.
