OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 is out

http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

JogAmp JOAL will use OpenAL soft if the OpenAL Soft library is found at runtime.

Why aren't OpenAL-Soft native libraries bundled with JOAL native library under Windows in the latest aggregated builds?

Re: OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 is out

Because we have not managed to get the windows jenkins node to build it.

we require the node to use cmake in a way that is compatible with mingw to produce the openal-soft native.
This require some setup experimentation on a windows machine to make it happen.

I have tested to use cmake from cygwin to setup openal-soft under windows without any sucess.

Once we can build openal-soft manually on windows we will make the jenkins node build it and start to bundle the natives inside the jogamp builds.

Thank you for this explanation. Is JOAL able to load soft_oal.dll if it is in the PATH environment variable?

Can you tell me more about what you tested and what didn't work so that I can investigate a little bit?

Edit.: Does it help?

hmm actually no.. the soft_oal.dll is not added to the list of names joal uses to look for the native,
https://github.com/JogAmp/joal/blob/master/src/java/jogamp/openal/ALDynamicLibraryBundleInfo.java
this is a bug!

I was not aware that the prebuilt openal-soft dlls used this custom soft_oal.dll name for windows..
if you rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll then JOAL will pick it up.

I'll fix this bug ;)

Why can't we simply use MXE? It would allow to compile OpenAL-Soft for Windows under GNU Linux :)

Re: OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 is out

Thank you!

Never tested MXE, if you manage to compile windows native openal-soft dll's using the MXE cmake then *thumbs up* that would be a great solution!

crosscompilation would then require to move the binaries from
the linux build node to the windows build node ..

in short: it would create quite a mess and complicate our already 'heavy'
jenkins setup.

note-1: we compile and test the stuff on the machines

note-2: we do crosscompile the GNU/Linux ARM targets incl. Android,
able to launch tests remotely.
tbh .. I haven't enabled the remote test ..

Whatever the solution is .. even a practical one would be OK,
i.e. a manual compiled DLL file, which should be pushed
to our repository then.
If time allows .. we could make it beautiful later (compile source code).

curbing your enthusiasm .. a practical workaround, see my other post. :)

If I spend too much time under Windows, I will just throw my younger brother's laptop away, even the file explorer is broken...

I can fix the dynamic loader in order to take soft_oal.dll into consideration and maybe I can modify the Ant script to wrap soft_oal.dll in joal-natives-*.jar. Would then GlueGen extract it correctly?

Re: OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 is out

If you want to include soft_oal.dll into the build then simply copy the dll to
joal/make/lib/windows-i586
or 64bit to
joal/make/lib/windows-amd64

The ant script will then include the dll inside the jar.

Cheers

You also need to change joal/make/build.xml line 438 to include the soft_oal name.
add
<include name="*soft_oal.${native.library.suffix}" />

I cannot rebuild JOAL under Windows 32 bits and Windows 64 bits, I only have a single laptop under Windows 7 64 bits. Can we temporarily copy the DLLs of OpenAL-Soft downloadable on the official website into our repository until we are able to build this library with our own node?

You can produce and test 32bit binaries on a 64bit machine.

Please can you have a look at my pull request?
https://github.com/sgothel/joal/pull/11

I'm going to install OpenAL-Soft on some machines under Windows to check if it works flawlessly with JOAL.

Sven, do you like this solution?
http://tuer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tuer/pre_beta/build.xml?r1=657&r2=658

I download the ZIP containing OpenAL-Soft binaries for Windows, I extract the useful DLLs, I put them into JOAL JARs and I clean up my mess. I just hope they don't depend on msvcrt.

As a manual binary blob update for windows - YES, that is great.
Then you could update the blob in the repo!

But I would not like to do this at build time,
i.e. injecting untested binary blobs.

So .. as a ant recipe for manual use, test and git commit - cool.
A good remedy until we know how to do it right on Windows.
I vote to integrate this piece into JOAL.
Thank you.

Cheers, Sven

Thanks, I'm going to test it now with the latest autobuild.
