Processing 4 + OpenKinect

Hello Processing folks!

I ran into an error running the Open Kinect examples with Processing 4 (on Mac): NoClassDefFoundError: /com/sun/jna/Library.

The issue seems to be with jna.jar.

The Java/Contents folder has jna.jar and jna-platform.jar, these are not in the core/library subfolder. Copying these to the core/library subfolder solves the problem.

I have already installed libfreenect from Homebrew in my terminal but still not working. Any help?

Problem solve!

I had to update de libfreenect from Terminal

brew install --HEAD libfreenect

If you’re trying to run the core OpenKinect examples (~Feb 2022), it looks like you need to import the Processing video library to get things to work. Without it, you’ll throw an error like the one described here. This was a fix for me.

import org.openkinect.freenect.*;
import org.openkinect.processing.*;
import processing.video.*; // <-- add this line

Locate Processing.app in the Applications folder
Right-Click → Show Package Contents
Go into folders: Contents > Java


You should find the aforementioned jna*.jar files.
Copy these into the Contents/Java/core/library folder.
Run the sketch again! Should work.
