A stub OpenFrameworks + Leap Motion application on Ubuntu

Setup

• Register as a Leap Motion dev and download the latest SDK
• Open the header file LeapMath.h and replace the preprocessor directives PI, DEG_TO_RAD, RAD_TO_DEG with these:

...
/** The constant pi as a single precision floating point number. */
#ifndef PI
static const float PI          = 3.1415926536f;
#endif
/**
 * The constant ratio to convert an angle measure from degrees to radians.
 * Multiply a value in degrees by this constant to convert to radians.
 */
#ifndef DEG_TO_RAD
static const float DEG_TO_RAD  = 0.0174532925f;
#endif
/**
 * The constant ratio to convert an angle measure from radians to degrees.
 * Multiply a value in radians by this constant to convert to degrees.
 */
#ifndef RAD_TO_DEG
static const float RAD_TO_DEG  = 57.295779513f;
#endif
...

• Generate a new OF project using the project generator

• Copy libLeap.so shared libary to your PROJECT_ROOT/libs folder (if the folder doesn't exist create it)

• Add the following to your config.make

    USER_LIBS = -lLeap
    USER_LDFLAGS = -L./libs
  

• Make/Compile and run application
