Issue Description

I'm trying to get a RealSense D435 working on my MacBook Pro M1.

I tried building from source following the instructions on https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/installation_osx.md

I get this:

§ cmake .. -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=true -DBUILD_WITH_OPENMP=false -DHWM_OVER_XU=false

CMake Error at CMake/lrs_macros.cmake:17 (message):
  Project 'realsense2' requires C++14 or higher

  CMakeLists.txt:53 (config_cxx_flags)

Python

I want to use it from either Python or C. Is there a pip wheel I can just install and use?

I tried https://pypi.org/project/pyrealsense2-macosx/ but I get:

profile = pipe.start()
RuntimeError: No device connected

despite the camera being connected (and working correctly as a web-cam)

Hi @emilk There is a step by step guide for installing the librealsense SDK on an Apple Silicon M1 Mac at the link below.

https://lightbuzz.com/realsense-macos/

Alternatively, the brew install librealsense installation method also supports Apple Silicon.

Hi @emilk Do you require further assistance with this case, please? Thanks!

[emilk]

I tried brew install librealsense but I still fail to find the camera using something like pyrealsense2.

I also tried a Rust wrapper around the C library but rs2_create_device returns an rs2_error of 8, which is weird, since there are only eight errors, 0-7: https://intelrealsense.github.io/librealsense/doxygen/rs__types_8h.html#ab73d6772c40d1a2fba645a1d0a7eed5e

Are you using the new MacOS Ventura, please? If you are then there have been reports of problems such as a non-detected camera with Ventura. An example of this is at #9687 (comment)

[emilk]

Yup, I'm on Ventura

[MartyG-RealSense]

#11815 is the central place on this support forum where I am directing Ventura users who are having problems so that they can discuss it amongst themselves, and you will therefore be notified automatically of any solutions that the RealSense Mac community comes up with for getting librealsense working on Ventura if you have left a comment there.

[MartyG-RealSense]

Hi @emilk Bearing in mind the advice above about posting a comment on #11815 - do you require further assistance with this case, please? Thanks!

[MartyG-RealSense]

Case closed due to no further comments received.

[emilk]

Sorry for the slow reply from me - I've given up on using RealSense on Mac for now.

[MartyG-RealSense]

It's no trouble at all. Thanks very much for the update.
