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 !packagemaker_4.jpg!
  • 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
