OpenNI RedistMaker - Build Fail on Mac OS

Question

I follow the OpenNI installation guide in README here https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI. I have installed libtool and libusb also. However, when I run ./RedistMaker under Platform/Linux-x86/CreateRedist, I got such error message:

Output/BuildOpenNI.txt Building Failed! 

I am doing on my Mac OS/X 10.6 (snow leopard) and my xcode is 3.6.2. I have update my CMake and any library I can think of but still failed. My OpneNI version is 1.3.3.6 stable. Can someone tell me which step I miss?

Answer 1

Well I can build it successfully if I go back to version 1.3.2.1 (but there will be a minor permission denied problem, which you can work around it by create a tmp file). So it's an alternative before openni community release update.

Update: This has been fixed in latest update.
