Yes, it would be nice to have [pix_video] work with the Kinect, but right now the plugins stuff is not fully done yet, and people want to work with the Kinect now. I tried to get stuff building using the Gem build system, but I couldn&#39;t get it going, so I just made a Makefile which seems to work.  For one, it seems to depend on automake-1.11, which is not always easily available.  I see no reason why the Gem plugins can work for automake-1.9 or even earlier, its not a complicated build.<br>
