Building & Running on Ubuntu Linux

[danryu]

Hi @fabiaserra, thanks for this great project. Best thing I've found so far in Openkinect/Openframeworks, I can't believe I just found it!
Really excited that you have a 0.10 branch going and looking forward to seeing it working.

Just wanted to leave some notes from my experience building and running on Linux.

I got the current 0.10 branch to build cleanly and run on Ubuntu (17.10 64bit), but the GUI didn't load.

I also built for 0.9.8 OF but had to remove the dependency on Syphon (which is Mac-only) - seems a shame to make a cross-platform project into a single-platform project just for that (whatever it is :) )...

The preliminary changes for building for OF0.9.8 on Linux are in my fork: https://github.com/danryu/crea

I'm wondering about expanding the project to support Kinect v2, and perhaps pointcloud capture. What would be the primary challenges here, do you think?
