How to get Kinect working with Cinder on a Mac

I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out and I'm stumped. I'm currently following this tutorial:

http://examples.oreilly.com/0636920022657/Hack%2023%20Create%20Hand%20Tracking%20Trails%20Using%20Cinder/SimpleHandTracking.txt

However, step 7 says to add the Kinect.cpp file and the Cinder-Kinect repo that they mention https://github.com/cinder/Cinder-Kinect does not have this file.

Also, open to new ways of handling the issue.

Solution
