This page documents how to get started using OpenKinect.
The libraries are very much in flux and this won't be the final process. This also means these instructions might be out of date with the latest commits.
Linux
Already compiled rpm and deb packages are available here: http://livingplace.informatik.haw-hamburg.de/blog/?p=228
Please note, that there are not udev generated devices for now, so you need to execute your programs as root (use sudo)
Ubuntu
An Ubuntu launchpad ppa for Lucid(10.04) and Maverick (10.10) is available at:
https://launchpad.net/~arne-alamut/+archive/freenect
to use it, open a console and execute:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:arne-alamut/freenect
after that, you can use
$ sudo apt-get install libfreenect
After that, you need to addyourself to the 'video' group and log back in.
$ sudo adduser YOURNAME video
To start the OpenGL demo application:
$ glview
Manual build under linux
