lib-usb and libfreenect2 on Mac OS X


I work on MacOS X Yosemite (10.10.5). I'm trying to install libfreenect2 on Mac OS X

When I do "cmake .." from the build directory of libfreenect2. I followed all the instructions given in the installation page. When I do the command "cmake .." from the build directory, I get this error message:

-- Checking for module 'libusb-1.0'
--   No package 'libusb-1.0' found
CMake Error at /Users/Yvanou/anaconda/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:416 (message):
  A required package was not found

Yet, I correctly installed libusb 1.6.4 using Homebrew.

Here is the complete log:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/Users/Yvanou/Documents/libfreenect2/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

In addition, I use also conda as package manager

Some idea in order to help me ?

Thanks a lot for your time and your precious help!


Solution

  • Ok, I finally found where my mistake was. I use Anaconda environnement so all packages must be installed under the Anaconda folder. I installed libusb 1.0.21 in the /bin folder of Anaconda and no error message anymore!!
