Embedding OpenAL inside app bundle

Okay, after wrangling with Torque for a few hours after seeing this thread, I've managed to get OpenAL framework loading from the application bundle.

First, you'll need to compile the application as usual. Make sure the OpenAL framework lives in /Library/Frameworks, otherwise Xcode isn't happy. You will need to add a build step to copy files. Set the destination directory to frameworks. Then drag your OpenAL reference from frameworks into that directory.

Next, modify macCarbWindow.cc. Scroll down to around line 188 (in LoadFrameworkBundle). Add this section of code before *bundlePtr = NULL;:

*bundlePtr = NULL;
  // first, let's look in our app bundle, under frameworks
	CFURLRef   privFrameworksURL = NULL ;
	CFBundleRef appBundle = NULL;
	appBundle = CFBundleGetMainBundle();
	bool localfind = false ;
  privFrameworksURL = CFBundleCopyPrivateFrameworksURL (appBundle) ;
  if (privFrameworksURL) {
		bundleURL = CFURLCreateCopyAppendingPathComponent(kCFAllocatorSystemDefault, privFrameworksURL, framework, false);
		if (bundleURL) {
		  *bundlePtr = CFBundleCreate(kCFAllocatorSystemDefault, bundleURL);
			if (*bundlePtr) {
			  if ( CFBundleLoadExecutable( *bundlePtr ) ) {
					//found it under the app's private framework
					localfind = true ;
				}
			}
		}
	}
	if (privFrameworksURL)
	  CFRelease (privFrameworksURL) ;
	if (bundleURL)
	  CFRelease (bundleURL) ;
	if (*bundlePtr)
    CFRelease(*bundlePtr);	
	if (localfind)  // Yay!  We found it, so return with no error..
	  return noErr ;
	// Otherwise, fall through to Torque's usual bundle load logic

What this does is first look in the application's bundle, under frameworks. Therefore, if you add the build step I talked about above, OpenAL should now load from inside the app bundle. You can remove it from Library/Frameworks to test it out.

I haven't tested my code on another Mac to make sure this is good, but I suspect it is.

(That should have been BEFORE *bundleptr, not after.)
