npm test error... about node-kinect

[yocontra]

Can you show the logs of your npm install? It seems like the native module failed to build.

[WA9ACE]

I have this same issue. Here's a screencap of my terminal including the npm install

[ericsims]

I have this same issue on Linux. Any ideas?

[chilijung]

same error, too.

[yocontra]

Did you guys install libusb and libfreenect before?

[vivekvasani]

Same error. I pre-installed libusb and libfreenect.

[TorbenDalgaard]

Any news regarding this issue ?

Hi, @corpr8. I am the new maintainer of this repo now, and I'm looking through the open issues. Is this still an issue for you with the latest version?

[VadasEnterprises]

@nguyer: Hi, I'm new here and this is the only way I could contact you. Does this work with Kinect Version 2.0 from Xbox One?

[nguyer]

Hi @VadasEnterprises. This library does not work with the new version of the Kinect (yet). It is just a Node.js binding for the libfreenect library which only works with the Xbox 360 Kinect. The libfreenect2 library works with the new Xbox One Kinect, but this project does not provide an interface for this library yet.

[galkn]

any progress on this?

[nguyer]

@get Which are you asking about? The npm test error, or Xbox One support? I have not been able to repro the npm test issue and I haven't heard that anyone still has problems with it on the latest version so I closed the issue. If it's still a problem though, I'd be happy to reopen and investigate.

As far as Xbox One support, unfortunately I do not have the time to devote to also wrapping libfreenect2, although I think there are some other Node projects out there that have tried to do this.

[jzellis]

I'm getting this same issue with the Kinect 360 on OS X, same messages, libusb and libfreenect installed (via homebrew). As your lib seems to be the only one still being supported, I'd be anxious to figure out how to solve this. :-)

I'm trying to run the test on raspberry pi with an Xbox 360 and I'm getting this error:
pi@raspberrypi:~/node-kinect $ npm test

@jfenwick you need to build first using

node-gyp configure
node-gyp build

Hi, I have similar problem in Ubuntu 14.04

I modified the kinect.target.mk

original:
LIBS :=
libfreenect.a

New:
LIBS :=
/usr/local/lib64/libfreenect.a

With the changed the build was succes

povalles@povalles-pc:~/node-kinect$ node-gyp build

gyp info ok

but when i tried run the test i have problems with libusb_init

povalles@povalles-pc:~/node-kinect$ npm test

[email protected] test /home/povalles/node-kinect
node_modules/.bin/mocha test/*.js

any idea?

[yashkp]

Has anybody resolved this?

[povalles]

I changed the binding.gyp to reference the library:

{ 'targets': [ { 'target_name': 'kinect', 'sources': [ 'src/kinect.cc', ], 'libraries': [ '/usr/local/lib/libfreenect.so', ], 'conditions': [ ['OS=="linux"', { 'include_dirs': ['/usr/local/include'], 'library_dirs': ['/usr/local/lib'], }], ] } ] }
