Mac OS X Help

[mjes]

Has anyone had luck compiling the new OpenAL for os x from the cvs?  My build keeps crashing in XCode with the following error message:

oalSource.cpp: In member function `void OALSource::SetRollOffFactor(float)':
oalSource.cpp:341: error: `MixerDistanceParams' undeclared (first use this function)
oalSource.cpp:341: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
oalSource.cpp:341: error: parse error before `;' token
oalSource.cpp:342: error: `distanceParams' undeclared (first use this function)
oalSource.cpp:343: error: `kAudioUnitProperty_3DMixerDistanceParams' undeclared (first use this function)
oalSource.cpp: In member function `void OALSource::SetMaxDistance(float)':
oalSource.cpp:370: error: parse error before `;' token
oalSource.cpp: In member function `void OALSource::SetReferenceDistance(float)':
oalSource.cpp:400: error: parse error before `;' token
oalSource.cpp: In member function `void OALSource::Play()':
oalSource.cpp:776: error: parse error before `;' token

I can't find a reference to MixerDistanceParams anywhere in the project or on my hard driver.  I've already installed the CoreAudio 1.3.1 SDK, which fixed a couple other compile issues, but I'm curious if I'm missing any other libraries (I did the full install of XCode and the update).

Secondly, when I run "ant all" for the cvs code of LWJGL, it crashes in the compile_native_mac section with the following message:

...

   [apply] checking symlink for /usr/bin/javac... /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/javac

BUILD FAILED

I saw that a couple of days ago the mac code was being updated, so does this compile for other people?  I'm assuming I don't have a symbolic link in the correct place, so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I have no problems compiling latest and greatest of openal on os x 10.3.3. I just fired up xcode and pushed the build button...

The java error is simple - you only have the runtime installed. Fix this by getting the 1.4.2 DP1 from developer.apple.com

when it's done building jump on in to /src/native/.libs and locate the liblwjgl.0 rename that to liblwjgl.jnilib and you're set to go - just point to using (assuming you run from /bin) -Djava.library.path=../src/native/.libs/

Ah, I'll go try that out and see if that fixes both problems.  Thanks.

The update fixed the LWJGL compile problem I had, but the OpenAL still has issues.  Any idea where to post to get my questions resolved for the new OpenAL?

[Matzon]

the OpenAL mailinglist would probably be your best bet.
where is oalSource.cpp located??

are you running the build in:
/mac/al_osx or something like that?

[mjes]

No, everything is run out of a subfolder in ~/Documents/ where I download cvs files.  Should I have it located somewhere else?

[Matzon]

aha!
you're using /macosx and I've been using /mac/al_osx
the former must be the new stuff while the latter is the old stuff... - /mac/al_osx compiles fine -  don't know how it works though

[mjes]

Yeah, so are you having problems with the macosx version?

[Matzon]

of lwjgl? then yes - it works barely now - but there are issues with input and webstart. Evil voices say it's because it's not a bundle - and the same evil voices say that we should use swim et al. on mac os x to get the wanted behaviour...

What we really need though, is a dedicated Mac person, that know their way about......

[Matzon]

Hot off the mailinglist:
> Has it been checked into the public cvs server?
The new code is in CVS -- openal/macosx.  You'll need the latest CoreAudio SDK off of developer.apple.com/audio to compile it.

> You have an idea of when we'll see the os x installer?
...
That installer does _not_ contain the new code referenced above, but that should change in about a week -- I just have to do a little testing before integrating the new library and putting it up.

Hurrah!
