OpenIL dlls

[MichaelKuntze]

Hi. I was trying to use the DevIL(openIL) implementation of the lwjgl and it seems the required dll is not provided with the installer. I'm not talking about the openIL dll, but the one required for lwjgl and openIL to work. I don't really want to check out the project and try to compile the dll so I was wondering if this was goign to be included in the next version or if there was somewhere I could download the dll?

It will be included in the upcomming 0.94 release. For now you can use Chman's dll, though it isn't up to date:

Thanks for the quick reply. I will use it even if it is old. I just want to play around with it.

I'm really enjoying lwjgl by the way and I think its great.

thanks!
The reason why devil wasn't included in the last release - was because of the rather limited implementation. Since then many more methods have been implemented (still missing a lot though).

The current Devil implementation is rather untested (basic loading works fine though), and we might think of implementing some of the utility methods - especially iluFlipImage which is mind boggling usefull But doing so will require some refactoring of the current code to use dynamic loading of methods á la OpenAL & OpenGL.

Got the dynamic loading built.  Just working through some errors.
