Freenect2.Net

A work-in-progress C# wrapper for libfreenect2, tested on Ubuntu 14.04.

Note this library only works with Kinect One. If you have Kinect 360, you should use libfreenect which comes with its own C# wrapper (as well as many other wrappers).

This repo was forked from https://github.com/madadam/freenect2.net

After cloning the repo cd into the freenect.net folder and follow these build steps:

1. Expose the libfreenect2 library and include paths:

    source setenv.sh
   

   It does nothing else than these two exports:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/freenect2/lib
    export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH:~/freenect2/include
   

   If you have installed the freenect2 files elsewhere, replace ~/freenect2/include with it.

2. make the libfreenect2c.so in the native folder:

    cd native
    make
    cp libfreenect2c.so ..
    cd ..
   

3. Copy the libfreenect2 libraries into the base folder. If you have done a make install of the libfreenect2 to the default ~/freenect2 folder, this would look like

    cp ~/freenect2/lib/libfreenect2.so* . 
   

4. Finally, start the solution from the same bash, so C# can find the library via $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (here using MonoDevelop as development environment):

    monodevelop Freenect2.sln
   

5. Check the target framework of the two solution subprojects to match your currently installed .NET version.
