Update

The tracking README file mentions http://wiki.openframeworks.cc/index.php?title=Download#Experimental_prereleases as the source for OpenFrameworks; the right links are,

for GNU/Linux:

http://wiki.openframeworks.cc/index.php?title=Download#prerelease_0.05

and for MacOSX:

http://wiki.openframeworks.cc/index.php?title=Download#current_prerelease_0.06

These will likely keep on changing as the OF team makes improvements.

The same readme also mentions “assorted libraries” might be needed to compile the GNU/Linux version.

Two known required libraries are libraw1394-dev and freeglut3-dev , available in both Ubuntu and debian repositories through Synaptic (apt-get, etc).

Codeblocks used to copy and link library files properly as part of the compilation process but it seems to currently fail when doing so. In that case, create a link to “of_preRelease_v0.05_linux_cb_FAT/export/libs” from within the "opticFlowExample/bin" directory and create a script with the following commands:

#!/bin/sh

echo $(pwd)

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/libs/

./opencvExample_debug

Save it as "opticFlowExample/bin/run.sh". Run this script when you want to launch the tracking app.
