Source Install
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
To install OpenAL Soft, use your favorite shell to go into the build/
|
|
directory, and run:
|
|
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
|
|
Assuming configuration went well, you can then build it, typically using GNU
|
|
Make (KDevelop, MSVC, and others are possible depending on your system setup
|
|
and CMake configuration).
|
|
|
|
Please Note: Double check that the appropriate backends were detected. Often,
|
|
complaints of no sound, crashing, and missing devices can be solved by making
|
|
sure the correct backends are being used. CMake's output will identify which
|
|
backends were enabled.
|
|
|
|
For most systems, you will likely want to make sure ALSA, OSS, and PulseAudio
|
|
were detected (if your target system uses them). For Windows, make sure
|
|
DirectSound was detected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Utilities
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The source package comes with an informational utility, openal-info, and is
|
|
built by default. It prints out information provided by the ALC and AL sub-
|
|
systems, including discovered devices, version information, and extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
OpenAL Soft can be configured on a per-user and per-system basis. This allows
|
|
users and sysadmins to control information provided to applications, as well
|
|
as application-agnostic behavior of the library. See alsoftrc.sample for
|
|
available settings.
