Leapmotion on Linux
More or less, Leapmotion on a Debian Wheezy.
Attending a Hardware Hack Lab session for the first time, I found a leap motion and I wanted to give it a try on Linux. Fortunatly, it's supported. But Debian Wheezy is missing libc6. So there is a little trick to make it run.
# install leapmotion sudo dpkg -i Leap-2.2.4+26750-x86.deb # It will throw some errors about libc6 not being the right version. Ignore. # Download libc6 and unpack it in it's own directory. wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.5_i386.deb mkdir ~/libc6-hack dpkg-deb -x libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.5_i386.deb ~/libc6-hack/ # Point to libc6 before starting leap deamon and LeapControlPanel LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/manual-install/libc6-hack/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ leapd LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/manual-install/libc6-hack/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ LeapControlPanel
This trick was found on GodotEngine forum and obviously works for any app working with that version of GlibC 2.15 or up on Debian Wheezy.
