Installation

Use of this addon requires a Developer License from LeapMotion see: https://www.leapmotion.com/developers

Once registered you should download and install the latest Leap Software from https://beta.leapmotion.com/

To use ofxLeapMotion, first you need to download and install openFrameworks.

To get a copy of the repository you can download the source from http://github.com/ofTheo/ofxLeapMotion or, alternatively, you can use git clone:

git clone git://github.com/ofTheo/ofxLeapMotion.git

The addon should sit in openFrameworks/addons/ofxLeapMotion/.

Running the Example Project

OSX

Xcode4: Open the Xcode project, select the "leapMotionExample Debug" scheme, and hit "Run".

How to Create a New ofxLeapMotion Project

To develop your own project based on ofxLeapMotion, simply copy the example project and rename it. You probably want to put it in your apps folder, for example, after copying:

openFrameworks/addons/ofxLeapMotion/example/ => openFrameworks/apps/myApps/example/

Then after renaming:

openFrameworks/apps/myApps/myLeapProject/

Mac (Xcode):

Rename the project in Xcode (do not rename the .xcodeproj file in Finder!): Slow double click the project name and rename (Xcode4)

Adding ofxLeapMotion to an Existing Project

Mac (Xcode):

In the Xcode project browser:

add the ofxLeapMotion sources to the project: create a new group "ofxLeapMotion" drag these directories from ofxLeapMotion into this new group: ofxLeapMotion/src & ofxLeapMotion/libs

IMPORTANT!

On OS X, you must have this in the Run Script Build Phase of your Xcode project. where the first path ../../../addons/ofxLeapMotion/ is the path to the ofxLeapMotion addon.

cp -f ../../../addons/ofxLeapMotion/libs/lib/osx/libLeap.dylib "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/MacOS/libLeap.dylib"; install_name_tool -change ./libLeap.dylib @executable_path/libLeap.dylib "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/MacOS/$PRODUCT_NAME";

If you don't have this you'll see an error in the console: dyld: Library not loaded: @loader_path/libLeap.dylib
