libfreenect and libusb installation

nippy

Hi! New here, just started my project last week. I've been a developer for 36 years but never on a Mac (except for some Arduino programming), so.... I have the problem mentioned in this thread: forum.processing.org/two/discussion/873 And I am trying to implement the answer in this reply: forum.processing.org/two/discussion/873/#Comment_2677

I have installed the SimpleOpenNI libraries and have done some basic Processing coding (I'm a C programmer by day).

But I don't even understand the words in the second part of the answer, about installing libraries.

Can someone here point me to a resource that will help me get started to get those libraries installed? It looks like I have to download source code, then build it?

Thanks very much.

Thanks! I think I've done all that, but this is the error I get (about libfreenect): What might I be missing or doing incorrectly?
