This tutorial is just a quick tech-note to install Daniel Shiffman's Processing library and make it work with Eclipse. This tutorial assumes a Mac platform.
Contents
System Snapshot
- Mac OS Lion
- MacPro
- Processing 1.5
- Eclipse Helios Service Release 1
Downloads
- Get Processing (if you don't have it already)
- Get Shiffman's openkinect.zip.
- Install Eclipse if necessary
Steps
New Project
- Open Eclipse
- Create a new Java project in Eclipse
Get the Processing core library
- Right-click (or Ctrl-click) on the project, and click on Import
- From the import menu, click 'File System
- Browse through your hierarchy of files and find the core.jar file inside the Processing.app application folder. On my machine, this was located in /Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java
- Click on the box next to core.jar and then click on Finish
Add the core library to the build path
- Click on the project, right click on it, and select Properties
- In the Libraries tab, click Add Jar, then open up your project in the new window, and select core.jar.
- You should have a new library in your build path:
Add OpenKinect Library and Support Files
- Unzip the openkinect.zip file in a separate folder.
- Using the same method described above to import the core.jar file into the project, import the openkinect.jar file from the openkinect.zip archive into the project.
- Add it to the build path.
- Open a Terminal window, and cd your way to the folder containing the unzipped openkinect archive. Find libKinect.jnilib library file, and copy it to the Java Extensions folder on your machine.
- For me, this was done by typing this in Terminal:
cp openkinect/library/libKinect.jnilib /Library/Java/Extensions/
