Works but requires Symbolic Link on OSX

[TroikaTronix]

Great work making this for Processing 3.

However, to get this to work on MacOS I needed to create a symlink to libfreenect.0.5.3.dylib. I used the following terminal commands.

cd /REPLACE_WITH_PATH_TO/Processing-v3/libraries/SimpleOpenNI/library/osx/OpenNI2/Drivers

ln -s libfreenect.0.5.3.dylib libfreenect.0.1.2.dylib

The depth and RGB images come in fine. However, there is a crash in NITE when attempting to enable skeleton tracking. The first few lines of the stack trace are shown below.

C  [libNiTE2.dylib+0x19ea62]  LBSEngine::ReadSingleField(std::basic_streambuf<char, std::char_traits<char> >*)+0x62

Hi all,
Cool to hear that someone works on NITE library, particularly TroikaTronix!
Do you find a solution to use skeleton tracking?
Thx

Ive got Skeleton Tracking working in Processing 3 with the Original Kinect. Been meaning to writeup a walkthrough of how but it only (asfaik) seems to work if you have previously had it working under older versions of Processing. Its a little shaky but I got it working and loads of old code ran again.
I'll try and find time to put up a post (and remember how I did it)

Hello @ashleyjamesbrown ,

Perhaps you can help to make my kinect working under processing!!
Waiting for your advice...
Just one question, are you under macOS?
Bye.
