Issues compiling freenect via cmake

Question

I'm trying to compile freenect and this is my first time using cmake a opposed to make. I had some erlier issues due to dependencies and I was able to resolve via google searches but now I'm stuck again. How do I resolve this? Terminal output below:

~/libfreenect-master $ sudo cmake -L
-- Operating system is Linux
-- Got System Processor armv6l
-- libfreenect will be installed to /usr/local
-- Headers will be installed to /usr/local/include/libfreenect
-- Libraries will be installed to /usr/local/lib
-- Found libusb-1.0:
--  - Includes: /usr/include/libusb-1.0
--  - Libraries: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libusb-1.0.so
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

So? What about installing libxmu-dev and libxi-dev? BTW, CMake will generate you make files, thus it is not really opposed to, even if it might be true for this particular project. — usr1234567, Mar 06 '15 at 21:01

On mac osx I was able to use homebrew to install freenect which was super simple.

brew install libfreenect

And thats it, you are done! A copy of glview demo should now be in your PATH so you can simply run:

freenect-glview
