You *must* have the development components of OpenAL installed on your system
to build FlightGear!" You can get a copy here:
- http://www.openal.org
+ http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/default.aspx
Build notes:
-The OpenAL developers do not make "versioned" releases so we recommend that
-you pull the latest version via anonymous CVS (follow the instructions at
-the OpenAL web site) and build/install that.
+You can download a versioned release of the openal library from
+http://www.openal.org/downloads.html. Download the openal source,
+release 0.0.8 (dated February 11, 2006) and run:
+tar xjvf openal-soft-1.5.304.tar.bz2
+cd openal-soft-1.5.304/
+ccmake .
+
+[ While running ccmake: press 'c' to configure, press 'c' once more, and
+ then press 'g' to generate and exit ]
+
+
+The alut library is also required, but comes separately in the package
+freelut-1.1.0.tar.gz. This package can be downloaded from the same page
+(http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/default.aspx). Download and run:
+tar xzvf freelut-1.1.0.tar.gz
+cd freealut-1.1.0
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
