How to build OpenCV with OpenNI on Ubuntu

OpenNI is a library that provides support to capture color and depth images from cameras like Kinect and Primesense.

To build OpenCV with OpenNI support:

• Install the OpenNI libraries and Primesense module:

$ sudo apt install libopenni-dev
$ sudo apt install libopenni-sensor-primesense-dev

• Build OpenCV as described here. But, add -D WITH_OPENNI=ON to the CMake compilation string used in OpenCV compilation.

Tried with: OpenCV 2.4.9, OpenNI unstable 1.5.4.0 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
