Installing PCL on a Mac

Installing on Mac

Installing dependencies with homebrew

Really, you should stop now, uninstall brew, and install macports.

But if you insist, here's some directions:

brew tap homebrew/science
brew tap homebrew/python
brew install qhull cmake flann eigen boost vtk5 opencv ffmpeg
brew install numpy scipy matplotlib

optionally

pip install pydbgr

This helps with finding segfaults in opencv and vtk

Codec Dependencies

Download and install Perian codecs (http://www.perian.org/)

Installing PCL

git clone https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl && cd pcl
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
