Little howto to install LeapMotion PureData object created by Chikashi Miyama on a Linux machine:
1-Download and install Flext: http://grrrr.org/research/software/flext/ (e.g. in directory /path/to/flext)
2-Download and unpack LeapMotion SDK for Linux: https://developer.leapmotion.com/downloads (e.g. in directory /path/to/LeapSDK)
3-Download and unpack the source of the object: https://github.com/chikashimiyama/Pd_leapmotion (e.g in directory /path/to/Pd_leapmotion).
4-Create a package.txt file in your Pd_leapmotion directory with the following content (the example is for a 64bit system)
NAME=leapmotion SRCDIR=.
SRCS=main.cpp
Dispatcher.cpp INCPATH+= -I/path/to/LeapSDK/include
LDFLAGS='-L/path/to/LeapSDK/lib/x64 -lLeap'
5-From Pd_leapmotion directory, compile the code using flext:
$cd /path/to/Pd_leapmotion
$ bash ../flext/build.sh pd gcc
$ bash ../flext/build.sh pd gcc install
If the last command fails (e.g: permissions), copy leapmotion.pd_linux file (created in flext release-single directory) to extra directory of PureData (e.g. /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra
6-Finally, we can use this object. We need to preload libleap if we don't have it installed, so we need to execute:
$LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/LeapSDK/lib/x64/libLeap.so pdextended
7-To test it, we can open leapmotion-help.pd patch:
