openni2_tracker configuration

I'm trying to configure the openni2_tracker package to use with my ASUS Xtion Pro but am having a little trouble. This is in Hydro on a 12.04 machine.

When performing a catkin_make, I get this error:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
Nite2_INCLUDEDIR
   used as include directory in directory /home/joe/catkin_ws/src/openni2_tracker
Nite2_LIBRARY
    linked by target "openni2_tracker" in directory /home/joe/catkin_ws/src/openni2_tracker

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1

I know that this points to the CMakeLists.txt file for the openni2_tracker package but don't understand where I'm supposed to go from here. This person has done something similar in step 4 but I'm not following. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It wants you to set the environment variables NITE2_INCLUDE and NITE2_REDIST64 to the place where you installed Nite2 to. e.g.

export NITE2_INCLUDE=/usr/local/NiTE-Linux-x64-2.2/Include
export NITE2_REDIST64=/usr/local/NiTE-Linux-x64-2.2/Redist

(newbie question) sooo that means to add them to my .bashrc file? (and not the CMakeLists.txt file for openni2_tracker?)

You need to execute the commands before catkin, adding them to .bashrc file (and loading it) is one way.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "execute commands before catkin". What do you mean? But, adding those lines to the .bashrc and reloading the command prompt I get.

I guess your comment is missing a few characters. Please read the documentation about environment variables
