Installation information for hornetseye-kinect, hornetseye-xorg, and hornetseye-frame, multiarray, and malloc on Mac OS X

INSTALL

  Regarding the installation, the Ruby Gems hornetseye-kinect, 
hornetseye-frame, multiarray, and malloc are required [1]. It is also 
recommended to install hornetseye-xorg for displaying windows with Ruby.
  XCode and Ruby already were installed. There was an issue with Rubygems 
though [2].
  One needs to install MacPorts [3] and configure it to build universal 
binaries [4].
  [5] explains how to install git, cmake, and libfreenect. Note that you 
need to build universal binaries of libfreenect according to [6]. Also libfreenect
requires the jpeg libraries to be installed:

    sudo port install jpeg

  Unfortunately FFmpeg 0.7.8 is required, because of the software scaling 
library (libswscale). FFmpeg requires yasm:

    sudo port install yasm

  One needs to first configure and compile it [7] (it 
is not necessary to compile all the dependencies). I think I used 
"./configure --enable-shared" so that it creates shared libraries (*.dylib 
files). Use "make install" to install the compiled binaries to 
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib:

    ./configure --enable-shared
    make
    sudo make install

Then one needs to cross-compile FFmpeg for 32 bit [8]. I.e. unpack it 
again and

    ./configure --extra-cflags="-arch i386" --extra-ldflags='-arch i386' --arch=x86_32 --target-os=darwin --enable-cross-compile --enable-shared
    make

Then one needs to use lipo according to [7] to create universal binaries 
of libswscale, libavformat, libavdevice, libavfilter, ffmpeg, and 
ffserver. Then overwrite the installed binaries with those.
  I installed X11 with the help of MacPorts. I think, I ended up using the 
following command line:

    sudo port install xorg-server-devel xpm mesa

Also Boost is required:

    sudo port install boost

It is necessary to start X11 manually [9]. Otherwise X11-applications will 
block and wait forever. Now it should be possible to install the Ruby extensions:

    export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include:/opt/local/include
    export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include:/opt/local/include
    export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/local/lib

    git clone git://github.com/wedesoft/malloc.git
    cd malloc
    rake
    sudo rake install
    cd ..

    git clone git://github.com/wedesoft/hornetseye-frame.git
    cd hornetseye-frame
    rake
    sudo rake install
    cd ..

    git clone git://github.com/wedesoft/hornetseye-kinect.git
    cd hornetseye-kinect
    rake
    sudo rake install
    cd ..

    git clone git://github.com/wedesoft/hornetseye-ffmpeg.git
    cd hornetseye-ffmpeg
    rake
    sudo rake install
    cd ..

    git clone git://github.com/wedesoft/hornetseye-xorg.git
    cd hornetseye-xorg
    rake
    sudo rake install
    cd ..
