Hi everybody,

I try to install ROS Hydro on my mac with homebrew following this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installatio... And I face a problem. For the installation of openni2_camera, I have the following error.

-- Found PkgConfig: /opt/local/bin/pkg-config (found version "0.28")
-- checking for module 'libopenni2'
--   package 'libopenni2' not found
CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:341 (message):
  A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /opt/local/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:395 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  CMakeLists.txt:9 (pkg_check_modules)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Of course I installed openni2 via hombrew but it seems like it doesn't create any libopenni2.pc which is a problem.

Any ideas about it ?

Thank you.

UPDATE

This is the result of brew info openni2

openni2: stable 2.2.0.33, HEAD

Add the recommended variables to your dotfiles.

Hi there,

The Hydro version of openni2_camera does not handle well libopenni2 on mac. You should edit the file openni2_camera/CMakeLists.txt and change this line:

pkg_check_modules(PC_OPENNI2 REQUIRED libopenni2)

for this:

pkg_check_modules(PC_OPENNI2 libopenni2)
if (NOT PC_OPENNI2_FOUND)
  pkg_check_modules(PC_OPENNI2 REQUIRED openni2)
endif()

(This patch is already present on Indigo)

UPDATE

According to the result of brew info openni2, could you try to add the following two lines to your ~/.bash_profile file

export OPENNI2_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/ni2
export OPENNI2_REDIST=/usr/local/lib/ni2

then restart your terminal. If it doesn't work try uninstalling openni2 (you currently installed it from the formula https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-... ) and try installing it again, but this time using the formula at https://github.com/ros/homebrew-deps/... .

Thank you. I did it and I have the same problem now it doesn't find openni2.

Can you post the result of the command "brew info openni2"?

Now it almost compiled everything but it doesn't find the linux/usbdevice_fs.h:

/Users/skynet/ros_catkin_ws/src/openni2_camera/src/usb_reset.c:40:10: fatal error: 'linux/usbdevice_fs.h' file not found #include <linux usbdevice_fs.h=""> ^ 1 error generated.

This worked for Indigo installation on my OSX 10.10 too. Key for me was restarting the terminal after doing export OPENNI2_*.
