AL.create() problem?
« on: May 20, 2007, 12:58:24 »
I am using LWGL 1.1 with netbeans 5.5 and jdk 1.6.01

when i am trying to create OPENAL it gives me errors
after some research i figure out that i must put OpenAL32.dll in jre/bin folder or jdk/jre/bin folder in order to work

now isn't a way to avoid this and read th openal32.dll from the same place that my *.jar file is?

no no no - never ever put stuff in jre/bin or similar unless you know _exactly_ what you are doing!

just extract the lwjgl package(s) and run with the command line specified in the readme.
lwjgl comes with all* natives needed, including openal (yes, overriding vendor supplied binaries - deal with it  ::))

*ok, so we dont include opengl drivers  :-*

Yah but problem seems to exist only with openal dll. Java supports loading libs without setting java lib path if lib is in the same folder with your jar executable , which is what happening with ALL other libs in lwlgl except openal

try and enable debug output:
-Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true

partialy you can solve the problem if you use System.setProperty("java.lib.path","/"); in program but it should be a better way..
