Migrating to a Mac

Have been really busy latelly, righting paper for CHI 2011 and Eurographics 2011, also, I bought a Mac, and am now going through the pain of converting code to another platform.

I usually use openCV 2.1 with OpenFrameworks, this is a pain in MacOS because OpenFrameworks only works in 32bit "i386" format. OpenCv on the other hand is quite easy to install in 64-bit mode but hard on 32.

To do that follow this link:

forget the MacPorts installation, use the CMake, and try several configurations with ccmake ( the gui, not the normal cmake ), especially remove ffmpeg and 3rdparties and put i386 in the architecture. It will probably give some error in the compile, but try another combination untill you get it!

Mobile HCI 2010

Tomorrow and in the rest of the week I will be attending (partially as student volunteer) to Mobile HCI 2010 which is held here in Lisbon.

Migrating to a Mac

New computer, new mac, new ways of doing old things, migrating the work should take some days...
