Unable to install OpenAL
by William Gooding · in Torque Game Engine · 05/31/2004 (8:02 am) · 9 replies
Hello, I would like to know if someone can help me?
when I try to install OpenAL I got this error
./configure: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token ';;'
./configure: line 10: '' ECHO_T=' ' ;;'
I have Red Hat Linux I already try adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf (and run ldconfig as root after making the change), and nothing.
Plase somebody help me.

Bump. Same error on SuSE 9.1. Anyone?

Since so many people are having some problems with Linux relating to Torque I'm going to reboot my workstation here to Linux and figure out solutions to these problems.

This accures when you try doing ./configure with latest OpenAL SDK? If you're not using the latest SDK then please go download it from www.openal.org/.Since so many people are having some problems with Linux relating to Torque I'm going to reboot my workstation here to Linux and figure out solutions to these problems.

I checked out Torque from CVS HEAD, and OpenAL seems to be included in one of the lib/ directories. Compiled like a charm along with Torque. It gives a _lot_ of warnings, but I guess that's to be expected with a CVS HEAD checkout.Nikhil.

John Lewis is the professor under I work under. This is Nikhil. I'm using Fedora Core 2 with the non-4k stacks kernel for the NVIDIA driver:
$ uname -r
2.6.5-1.358.8kstackssmp
I've been around Linux for a while, and trust me the kernel has nothing to do with the errors. I did try getting Torque to compile with the CVS version over at openal.org, but Torque seems to be using some new API calls for EAX, etc., for which there seems to be no support on the CVS repository at openal.org. The CVS HEAD of Torque, however, does come with the needed version of OpenAL.

got it working. It was a problem with my source. A fresh version from the CVS helped.
Thanks!
