OpenAL problems

Started by
5 comments, last by Doggan 18 years, 8 months ago
I've been trying to add audio playback into a game i'm making through OpenAL, but i've been having trouble. For some reason Dev-Cpp keeps giving me linker errors. I dont know why, however, since i added the OpenAL library files into the project. The Errors Are (under Compile Log): 1) Undefined Reference to 'alGetEnumValue' 2) Undefined Reference to 'alGetEnumValue' I believe this has something to do with partial incompatability with DevCpp but i dont know Does anyone have any ideas on this/ Has anyone encountered this problem and managed to get past it?

There was a saying we had in college: Those who walk into the engineering building are never quite the same when they walk out.

-- Otherwise, can anyone lead me to another free audio library (free for commercial use?)

It looks like you're trying to use a function it knows nothing about. Try including the headers (if you haven't already), and see if it fixes the problem. I assume you haven't, since it'd be giving you linker errors if it couldn't find them in the Open AL library.

Also, Dev-C++ is an IDE that uses the compiler MinGW. Try not to confuse the two things, since they're completely different things.
Audiere looks nice.

STLport | Lua | Squirrel | Doxygen | NASM | bochs | osdev | Ruby | FreeBSD | Zend Framework 2 | YUI 3 | VP UML| ZFS | Linux Mint (Cinnamon)

i have already included the headers (all of the ones included in the creative OpenAL SDK)

I believe it has something to do with the way the libraries are written... and therefore a problem linking.

EDIT: Just checked agian, and there is virtually nothing useful to be found floating around on the net (on this topic)

You might try posting your question on the OpenAL Mailing List. Post your version of Dev-C++ and all your OpenAL includes (headers and libraries).
