al 0.1.1.2 was shipped. It includes several improvements, among them:
stdcall flag is available ;alcIsExtensionSupported was renamed to alcIsExtensionPresent as the
former just doesn’t exist – sorry for the typo.The stdcall flag might be a great ally for people compiling on a 32-bit
Windows. For people on 64-bit Windows, the default is sufficient – and for
UNIX systems, you don’t have anything special to do.
I’m also looking for hackers to test the library on the most OS as possible. I have issues with it (see this) and I’d like to hear from people. Even though I have that issue, al compiles well and runs great in ghci, which is weird regarding the fact running an application compiled with al silently crashes at startup.
That’s a nasty issue I don’t really know how to correctly fix. Up to now,
default OpenAL 1.1 SDK installation are detected for Windows. For people with
custom installation and other systems, you have to pass the path of the SDK by
hand. I know, it’s a pain in the ass, but I don’t want to depend on tools like
pkg-config as that tool is not available everywhere – getting it on Windows is
not that simple.
