How to use ofxKinectNui on CodeBlocks

extend
#1

Hi

ofxKinectNui worked without problems on Visual Studio, but I like CodeBlocks. This is the steps I followed on CodeBlocks:

  • Copy the emptyExample.workspace and emptyExample.cbp to addons\ofxKinectNui\exampleple to addons\ofxKinectNui\example
  • On CodeBlocks, right clic on emptyExample, go to Build Options, select emptyExample on the left, select Linker Settings tab and the Add button.
  • Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Kinect\v1.0\lib\x86\ and select Kinect10.lib
  • Go to Search Directories and add this paths
    …\src
    …\src\kinect\nui
    …\src\win32
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Kinect\v1.0\inc

After compile I get the following errors:

I tried -std=c++0x and -std=gnu++0x compiler options has sugested on one of the error messages, but no luck.

What can be wrong?
Thanks

@camilosw

Thx so much for your trial.
Yeah, I hope to add Code::Blocks project. : )

Hi camilosw,

Did you mange to compile this project in C::B?

Thanks

I don’t think you’re going to be able to get this working with a lot of messing around. The MS Kinect SDK is made to work with the MS compilers that are shipped with Visual Studio and there’s a lot of code that’s very specific to that compiler. CodeBlocks uses GCC, and there seems to be a lot of stuff that they’ve included in the project that doesn’t seem to work very well with GCC.

Thanks Joshua,

Its a shame as Ive been using C::B for the last few years and really liked it. Simonhr did have ofxMSKinect running with the beta SDK but its not been updated in over a year. I’ve moved over to VS2010 now
