Okay, so I've pulled down CVS and I'm trying to build LWJGL on my linux box (RH 7.3), and after doing "sh ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make", I get:

Which obviously means that I don't have OpenAL installed.

So, how do I modify the autoconf system to require OpenAL? Ideally, I'd like to include something like "--with-openal=/path/to/openal" in the ./configure script.

Alternatively, try stripping the AL/ prefix. There has been some issues with that, depending on platform... regarding an option - I wouldn't know, since I am on windows...

Naw, I figured it out (by grokking the graphviz configure.in). I'll post a patch to this thread once I've got it all worked out.

At the moment, I'm getting compiler errors about round() not being declared -- eventhough math.h is included (in org_lwjgl_Display.cpp)... more on that later, I think.

-daniel

So, new problem.. I got autoconf to check for (and allow specification of) the openal lib and include directories.

However, gcc does not (by default) support C99, so using the round() function in math.h causes the compiler to barf unless -D_ISOC99_SOURCE is specified as a parameter to gcc. I'm not sure what other compilers do the same...

Now I will go out into the world and see if I can't figure out how to pass "-D_ISOC99_SOURCE" to gcc, using the autoconf system. Should be fun.

Woohoo.

I'm on the Faroe Islands right now for two weeks so I'm not able to apply the patch. Still I'm far from an autoconf expert, so it's great you want to do the patches. I have never had any problems with round() - what compiler version are you using? I use gcc 3.3 I believe.

Well you sorry sack! I hope you're having lots of fun. Enjoy. Thanks for the follow-up. 'Sokay with me if you don't post again 'til you're back.

Ah-HAH! You kids these days with your modern compilers and your latest versions of RedHat! Since I'm using RH7.3, I'm still using 2.96, which requires the -D_ISOC99_SOURCE flag.

-daniel

Well if you want, Brian or Cas could probably give you CVS access to apply the patch yourself. The autoconf system haven't been updated for ages really, since Alterself left me with it *snifl* :-)
