   Problems with OpenAL
  First, let me start off by saying I''m using Borland C++ Builder 6.0.  I am not using MSVC any flavor, nor will I.  Sorry, just my personal preference. Secondly, I can''t get OpenAL to work fully under BCB 6.  I created libraries for Borland of both OpenAL32.lib and ALut.lib, but ALut.lib is basically an empty file, and does not contain entries for _alutInit, _alutExit, and other functions.  This brings me to my questions:1)  Has anyone managed to get this problem fixed and working?2)  Does anyone know how to set OpenAL up without using ALut?Either answer will be acceptable.    Thanks!

This brings me to my questions:1)  Has anyone managed to get this problem fixed and working?Rebuild OpenAL and make ALut a shared library. For some unknown reason, Creative distributes ALut as a static library, which cannot be converted to work with Borland from its MSVC form. When I create Windows binaries of OpenAL (I don''t like how Creative''s are setup) I include ALut in the "openal32.dll" file.quote:Original post by Nychold  2)  Does anyone know how to set OpenAL up without using ALut?Look at the ALut source code; it''s relatively simple.   ;  Is there another way to get ALut working?  I neither have nor can get the source code.  For some reason, CVS doesn''t let me connect to their server. ;quote:Original post by Nychold  Is there another way to get ALut working?

Someone could have binaries for Borland floating around online, but I haven''t looked and am unaware of any.The CVS seems to work for me (if you weren''t already, follow the instructions at opensource.creative.com). I''ve uploaded a tarball (at just under 8 MB in size) here if you still can''t access their CVS repository (it''ll remain there for a day or two, unless SourceForge gets mad at me for doing that ).
