OpenNI 2 with Fedora 18

The current Fedora 18 still ships with an older version of OpenNI. Therefore, I just tried to compile OpenNI2 from source [1] on my Fedora 18 system. There were some differences with regard to the required packages as they are noted for the usual Linux build instructions.

libUSB was installed by
sudo yum install libusbx-devel

freeglut3 does not exist, but
sudo yum install freeglut-devel 
seemed to be sufficient

libGL can be installed by either
sudo yum install mesa-libGLU-devel
or by installing the whole group via
sudo yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

In addition I added the following to line 73 of OpenNI2/ThirdParty/PSCommon/BuildSystem/CommonCppMakefile

LDFLAGS += -lpthread -lrt $(LIB_DIRS_OPTION) $(USED_LIBS_OPTION)
was: LDFLAGS += $(LIB_DIRS_OPTION) $(USED_LIBS_OPTION)

It is important that pthread and rt are linked prior to the rest. Afterwards calling make ran without failures.
