HELP : looking for openal lib on linux

by Frank Bignone · in Torque Game Engine · 03/05/2002 (10:11 am) · 5 replies

Help me please, I'm looking for the openal library for linux and the openal.org ftp or web server seem down.

If you already have it for compiling the torque engine under linux, can you send me an email ?

thx

    www.icculus.org is hosting openal and loki's
    other projects, at least for the time being. You might
    need to use cvs to download openal from there.

    Garagegames might want to look into hosting it on here or providing the source via the CVS cause if those sites go out what will we do about openal on linux?

    Panic!

    Seriously though, there is still a lot of interest in the
    linux openal sdk, judging by the mailing list.
    If icculus goes dark I expect somebody will pick it up.
    The bigger issue is who is going to take over the
    development of the openal specification; it seems to be
    unclaimed right now.

    Hey!

    icculus is not gonna go down. It's that simple.
    And OpenAL will not disappear. There are too many people using it..

    Have a little faith in icculus.

    A new openal cvs repository has been setup at opensource.creative.com.

    CVSROOT=:pserver:guest@opensource.creative.com:/usr/local/cvs-repository
    password "guest"

    the cvs module is "openal". I believe that future development on the linux openal lib will be hosted from this repository.
