How to create DMG installers for MacOS

install MacPorts: http://www.macports.org/install.php

upgrade MacPorts: sudo port -v selfupdate

start building DMG installers:

  • Boost: sudo port -v dmg boost +universal
  • FLANN: sudo port -v dmg flann +universal
  • Eigen: sudo port -v dmg eigen3 +universal
  • VTK: We still need VTK in x11 mode, as cocoa/carbon didn't work at all in our tests :(
sudo port -v dmg vtk5 +x11 +universal
  • QHull:sudo port -v dmg qhull +universal
  • LibUSB-devel:sudo port dmg libusb-devel +universal

How to create .pkg's for OpenNI and Sensor Libs:

The main idea of these manual steps is to replicate the install.sh script that comes with the drivers.

start off PackageMaker (/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app)

fill in the Install Properties

!packagemaker_1.jpg!

add one choice to the contents and name it OpenNI

!packagemaker_2.jpg! !packagemaker_3.jpg!

in PCL trunk (trunk/3rdparty/openni/source to be more exact), type make to create two files: OpenNI-Bin-MacOSX-v1.3.2.1.tar.bz2 and Sensor-Bin-MacOSX-v5.0.3.3.tar.bz2

from the OpenNI-Bin-MacOSX-v1.3.2.1.tar.bz2 archive, drag the Bin, Include, Jar and Lib folders to the PackageMaker choice

go through each folder and specify its destination based on what install.sh mentions (i.e., $INSTALL_BIN, $INSTALL_INC, $INSTALL_JAR). For example, our install.sh has:

INSTALL_LIB=$rootfs/usr/lib
INSTALL_BIN=$rootfs/usr/bin
INSTALL_INC=$rootfs/usr/include/ni
INSTALL_VAR=$rootfs/usr/etc/ni
INSTALL_JAR=$rootfs/usr/share/java

!packagemaker_5.jpg! It seems that we need to have SamplesConfig.xml installed in /etc/openni too, so make sure to add it as shown below! !packagemaker_a.jpg!

next, create a separate bash script file and copy-paste lines from install.sh that are not related to copying files (you have just done that in the previous step):

  • create database dir
  • register modules
  • Example:
#!/bin/sh -e
MODULES="libnimMockNodes.dylib libnimCodecs.dylib libnimRecorder.dylib"
rootfs=
INSTALL_LIB=$rootfs/usr/lib
INSTALL_BIN=$rootfs/usr/bin
INSTALL_INC=$rootfs/usr/include/ni
INSTALL_VAR=$rootfs/usr/etc/ni
INSTALL_JAR=$rootfs/usr/share/java

# make all calls into OpenNI run in this filesystem
export OPEN_NI_INSTALL_PATH=$rootfs
# make sure the staging dir OpenNI is the one being run
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INSTALL_LIB

# create database dir
printf "creating database directory..."
mkdir -p $INSTALL_VAR
printf "OK\n"
mkdir -p /etc/openni
chmod -R 0777 /etc/openni
# register modules
for module in $MODULES; do
  printf "registering module '$module'..."
  $INSTALL_BIN/niReg -r $INSTALL_LIB/$module
  printf "OK\n"
done

attach the script you just created to the last folder that is to be installed in your choice: Scripts tab -> Postinstall

!packagemaker_6.jpg!

name the package nicely and click on Build

!packagemaker_7.jpg! !packagemaker_8.jpg!

repeat the operation for Sensor - or even better, make it as a second choice

#!/bin/sh -e

MODULES="libXnDeviceSensorV2.dylib libXnDeviceFile.dylib"

# create file list
rootfs=
INSTALL_BIN=$rootfs/usr/bin
INSTALL_LIB=$rootfs/usr/lib
SERVER_LOGS_DIR=$rootfs/var/log/primesense/XnSensorServer

# make all calls into OpenNI run in this filesystem
export OPEN_NI_INSTALL_PATH=$rootfs
# make sure the staging dir OpenNI is the one being run
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INSTALL_LIB

printf "Installing PrimeSense Sensor\n"
printf "****************************\n\n"

# register modules
for module in $MODULES; do
printf "registering module '$module' with OpenNI..."
	$INSTALL_BIN/niReg -r $INSTALL_LIB/$module $INSTALL_ETC
printf "OK\n"
done

# make server run as root
printf "setting uid of server..."
chown root $INSTALL_BIN/XnSensorServer
chmod +s $INSTALL_BIN/XnSensorServer
printf "OK\n"

# create server log dir
printf "creating server logs dir..."
mkdir -p $SERVER_LOGS_DIR
# make this dir readable and writable by all (we allow anyone to delete logs)
chmod a+w $SERVER_LOGS_DIR
printf "OK\n"

printf "\n*** DONE ***\n\n"

To note:

create dmg images (should ideally have a dmg for all dependencies and one for the PCL modules):

  • Disk Utility -> New Image

OpenNi installer: the install.sh script does not create the required /etc/openni directory which is necessary to "register" the openni modules. Also the install.sh copies files without setting their permission. Hence, this needs to be manually adjusted in the install.sh files

SamplesConfig.xml needs to be in /etc/openni - otherwise the error "Open failed: File not found!" appears
