MacOS-PotreeConverter

MacOS binary for PotreeConverter which can be tricky to compile.

It was compiled on MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54) using gcc gcc8 8.2.0_3 installed via MacPorts.

You will also need to copy the resources directory from the original repository which must be in the same directory as the executable.

You may also run into this error which is easy to fix: potree/PotreeConverter#281

The following steps were used to compile.

sudo port install gcc8
sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc8
