Cross-compiling kinect_upload_fw for Windows under Linux ======================================================== Adapted from http://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/cross-compiling-windows-binary/ Installing the prerequisites for cross-compilation -------------------------------------------------- sudo apt-get install mingw32 wine git-core Setting up the build directory and getting the dependencies: mkdir $HOME/mingw cd $HOME/mingw wget http://kinect.dashhacks.com/sites/kinect-hacks.com/files/libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip unzip libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip git clone git://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect.git --branch unstable Compiling kinect_upload_fw -------------------------- cd $HOME/mingw git clone git://git.ao2.it/kinect-audio-setup.git cd kinect-audio-setup/kinect_upload_fw CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc make endian LDFLAGS= wine ./endian > endian.h i586-mingw32msvc-g++ kinect_upload_fw.c -o kinect_upload_fw.exe \ $HOME/mingw/libfreenect/platform/windows/libusb10emu/libusb-1.0/failguard.cpp \ $HOME/mingw/libfreenect/platform/windows/libusb10emu/libusb-1.0/libusbemu.cpp \ -I$HOME/mingw/libfreenect/platform/windows/libusb10emu/libusb-1.0 \ -I$HOME/mingw/libfreenect/platform/windows/libusb10emu \ -I$HOME/mingw/libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0/include \ -I$HOME/mingw/libfreenect/include \ -I$HOME/mingw/libfreenect/src \ $HOME/mingw/libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0/lib/gcc/libusb.a Using kinect_upload_fw.exe on Windows ------------------------------------- First of all, make sure the drivers from ''libfreenect'' are installed, they are under ''platform/windows/inf''. Download the MSR Kinect SDK from: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/4/C/84C9EF40-EE49-42C2-AE26-C6E30921182F/KinectSDK32.msi Explore ''KinectSDK32.msi'' using 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org, extract the ''media1.cab'' file in it and extract the firmware file from ''media1.cab'', the firmware file is named ''UACFirmware.*''. Put ''kinect_upload_fw.exe'', the firmware file and ''kinect_upload_fw.bat'' file in the same directory and double_click on the ''kinect_upload_fw.bat'' file.
