Apple Mach-O Linker (Id) Error for OpenFrameworks

I am using XCode 7.1 on Mac OS X 10.11.1.
I am using an addon called ofXopenNI with openFrameworks, which is basically an OpenNI interface for openFrameworks. It has some requirements which I installed and linked to my XCode project. Still, there's one linking error that I am unable to fix. Here it is (I pasted an image so that I don't miss out on anything):

The problem is that libXnFormats is already included in my project, and yet this issue comes up. This is how I think it's included in the project:

(The second one)
I know there are a lot of Mach-O linking error questions on SO, but this seemed specific. Anyone knows a fix to this?

Here's the error message in text format (since it was asked for):

And then,

ld: library not found for -lXnFormats
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Solution

  • I had a similar issue that I got -lXnDDK linker error instead of -lXnFormats. I assume you created new groups by including include and lib folders under ofxOpenNI addon directory. Also, copied the lib folder into bin/data/openni.

    I just add bin/data/openni/lib to the Library Search Paths in Build Settings.
