OpenNI RedistMaker - Build Fails on Mac OS

Question

I follow the guide to installing OpenNI in README here https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI . I also installed libtool and libusb. However, when I run ./RedistMaker under the / Linux -x86 / CreateRedist platform, I received this error message:

I work on my Mac OS / X 10.6 (snow leopard) and my xcode is 3.6.2. I am updating my CMake and any library that I can think of, but still failed. My version of OpneNI is stable 1.3.3.6. Can someone tell me which step I missed?

Answer 1

Well, I can build it successfully if I return to version 1.3.2.1 (but there will be a problem with the resolved invalid resolution, with which you can get around this by creating a tmp file). So this is an alternative before updating the openni community.

Update: This has been fixed in the latest update.
