I have been using OpenAL for quite some years, it use to be pretty easy.
Now, I havent used 1.1, so I started looking into it yesterday.
It turns out that they have changed a few things...
For example the OpenAL1.1 installer doesnt place include files in /AL
subdirectory!
The standard ALUT library is gone from OpenAL and is now in frealut, which
has to be compiled separately.
Other than that, it is not much of a problem I guess.
I would like you to elaborate about Frankenstein?
Also, it would help to know what kind of runtime errors you get?
Does the simple.exe in openalpp/bin work ok?
Does the osgal.exe in osgal/bin work ok?
SDL wont give you spatial sound, right?
It wont give you hw accelerated sound either, right?
Does it give you Doppler effects?
I havent looked into it for a while... But I dont think so.
The only platform independent sw solution that doesnt come with a comercial
license is OpenAL.
For universitites there are other alternatives.
So what I would like to know, is if the Frankenstein resides in OpenAL++ or
OsgAL, or if it is an "external" monster ;-)
I have planned to migrate OpenAL++ into osgAL, making build a lot easier
when you have the right OpenAL installed.
I will try to build OpenAL1.1 and see if I can write a tutorial, or even
pack a zip file with the necessary stuff to make it easier to use.
Ill be back on work monday morning.
