I am trying to compile this program to generate point cloud using kinect on Ubuntu 14.04

I have libfreenect, opengl installed. But the linker gives the following error. I tried

find /usr -name *freenect*sync*

to locate the libraries I am missing and got the following output

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreenect_sync.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreenect_sync.so.0.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreenect_sync.so.0.2.0
/usr/include/libfreenect_sync.h

When I tried after including this -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, the linker produced the following error.

lakshayg@lakshayg:~/freenect/pclview$ make
g++ -I/usr/X11R6/include `pkg-config --cflags libfreenect` glpclview.cpp -o glpclview `pkg-config --libs libfreenect` -L/usr/X11R6/lib/  -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lGL -lGLU -lglut 
/tmp/cclq9nUn.o: In function `DrawGLScene()':

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [glpclview] Error 1
lakshayg@lakshayg:~/freenect/pclview$ 

Here is the Makefile I am using for the code

FLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags libfreenect`
INCLUDE = -I/usr/X11R6/include
LIBS = `pkg-config --libs libfreenect` -L/usr/X11R6/lib/  -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lGL -lGLU -lglut 

glpclview: glpclview.cpp
    g++ $(INCLUDE) $(FLAGS) $? -o $@ $(LIBS)

I am relatively new to linux and completely stumped at this point. What should I do so that the program compiles successfully ?

Answer 1

I finally figured out how to compile it!

g++ glpclview.cpp -o glpclview -lfreenect -lfreenect_sync -lGL -lGLU -lglut

I was missing the -lfreenect_sync flag to link the freenect sync drivers.
