aosoft / azure-kinect-rs Goto Github PK

@aosoft Thanks for the useful tool for Azure Kinect. I got below errors and solutions:

1. Can't read DLL dir

--- stderr
  thread 'main' panicked at 'Can't read DLL dir: Os { code: 3, kind: NotFound, message: "The system cannot find the path specified." }', azure-kinect-sample-viewer\build.rs:29:49
  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

This is solved by copy DLL files from C:\Program Files\Azure Kinect SDK v1.4.0\tools to azure-kinect-rs\azure-kinect-sample-viewer\msvc\dll\64.

2. Linking error
   LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'SDL2.lib'
   This link rust-sdl2 shows how to download and copy the missing library SDL2.lib. On my machine, I copy the SDL2* files in the zip file to C:\Users\my_username\.rustup\toolchains\stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib

After these steps, cargo build runs successfully.

3. Runtime error
   Running azure-kinect-rs\target\debug\k4arecorder.exe output.mkv and azure-kinect-rs\target\debug\azure-kinect-sample-viewer.exe failed initially without any meaningful error. Solving this requires copying the DLL files of Azure Kinect SDK and SDL2 to azure-kinect-rs\target\debug folder.

It would be great to automate these steps or include some instructions in README.md file.
