I was playing with the LWJGL source this morning to see if I could make it build. I was successful, but when I went to look at building the java portion I noticed the ant script looks for two dlls, lwjgl.dll and lwjglaudio.dll. I noticed the recent distros of LWJGL include this second dll (lwjglaudio.dll).

What is it? How do I build it?

I believe that's a renamed OpenAL32.dll. It was renamed to avoid versioning issues with systems that already had previous versions of the library installed.

Is it just me, or has the OpenAL site (http://www.openal.org/) been completely gutted recently? :?

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.

it was gutted, because it was on an old unmaintained LOKI site. now that the oal devs at creative are responsible they wanted something simpler to maintain I guess.

and yes - lwjglaudio.dll is a renamed OpenAL32.dll, due to incompatibility issues
