     1 Source Install

     2 ==============

     3 

     4 To install OpenAL Soft, use your favorite shell to go into the build/

     5 directory, and run:

     6 

     7 cmake ..

     8 

     9 Assuming configuration went well, you can then build it, typically using GNU

    10 Make (KDevelop, MSVC, and others are possible depending on your system setup

    11 and CMake configuration).

    12 

    13 Please Note: Double check that the appropriate backends were detected. Often,

    14 complaints of no sound, crashing, and missing devices can be solved by making

    15 sure the correct backends are being used. CMake's output will identify which

    16 backends were enabled.

    17 

    18 For most systems, you will likely want to make sure ALSA, OSS, and PulseAudio

    19 were detected (if your target system uses them). For Windows, make sure

    20 DirectSound was detected.

    23 Utilities

    24 =========

    25 

    26 The source package comes with an informational utility, openal-info, and is

    27 built by default. It prints out information provided by the ALC and AL sub-

    28 systems, including discovered devices, version information, and extensions.

    29 

    30 

    31 Configuration

    32 =============

    33 

    34 OpenAL Soft can be configured on a per-user and per-system basis. This allows

    35 users and sysadmins to control information provided to applications, as well

    36 as application-agnostic behavior of the library. See alsoftrc.sample for

    37 available settings.
