To run Nite samples in Ubuntu 13.10 (Nite + OpenNI + SensorKinect)

1. Build OpenNI

git clone git://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI

git checkout -b 1.5.4.0 Unstable-1.5.4.0

 checkout to tag 1.5.4.0, only this tag works for me

cd Platform/Linux/CreateRedist

./RedistMaker

cd ../Redist/$(Openni Version)/

In my case, it's OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.4.0

sudo install.sh

2. Build SensorKinect

git clone git://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect.git

git checkout -b unstable origin/unstable

cd Platform/Linux/CreateRedist

./RedistMaker

 cd ../Redist/$(Sensor Kinect Version)/

In my case, it's  Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.2.1

sudo install.sh

It's that simple.

now you can download NITE-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.21.tar.zip and run samples under Samples/Bin/x64-Release

[BBB] memo of configuring BeagleBone Black network

manually add a gateway

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 => add default gateway 
 

The following configuration in /etc/network/interfaces does all above:

#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 

Finally, add nameserver in /etc/resolf.conf

echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf 

Restart network now:
/etc/init.d/networking restart =>  restart network or 

ifdown eth0; ifup eth0

toolchain for BBB is arm-linux-gnueabihf

Problem solved! 

extract and cross compiled with CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc ./configue --target=arm-linux
