[SCONS] Unable to install, openAL installed

[uosiu]

Hi, I want to install VDrift on my gentoo 20007.0, i have installed everything needed by the game-
http://phpfi.com/278825 here is my eix results for ebuilds needed by game

and here is my emerge log
http://phpfi.com/278826

any ideas?

[joevenzon]

As far as I know the people who made the ebuild don't ever visit these forums. The check for openal just uses the SCONS checklib function. Do you have /usr/lib/libopenal* files?

[uosiu]

Code:

ls /usr/lib/libopenal* -la
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 332240 lis 25 14:36 /usr/lib/libopenal.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    819 lis 25 14:36 /usr/lib/libopenal.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 lis 25 14:36 /usr/lib/libopenal.so -> libopenal.so.0.0.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 lis 25 14:36 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 -> libopenal.so.0.0.0*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 207900 lis 25 14:36 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0.0.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     21 lis 25 15:05 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libopenal.so*

any ideas?

there is an old_openal option in SConstruct. try setting it to 1 (i can't remember if openal 0.8.0 is old or not, i use the svn head).

If you're still having trouble, I'd recommend just getting the latest development version:

http://wiki.vdrift.net/Getting_the_development_version

The latest versions of vdrift don't use openal anymore, and instead just use a built-in 3D sound library on top of SDL sound.

then we should remove all the openall stuff from sconstruct.

Agreed...
I added it to the issue tracker:

I'm new to the sourceforge tracker system. You're already on the list, is there something else I need to do? Permissions or something?

i have a different username on sourceforge. that's probably what is causing this. how can i try the tracker system without clicking on the links? is there a direct url or something that will prompt me to log on?

If you go to the main vdrift projects page:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrift

And then mouse over Trackers, click on Issues. I've got you added in there with the alexr25 username.

you can see this only if you are logged on at sourceforge. i've done it now, and i can see the trackers. thanks.

Maybe... I can't even see the tracker tab... I'm not logged in. Don't really want to at the moment.

Is there a reason to keep it private?

[joevenzon]

Well, what I really want is for it to be visible to everyone but write-able only to project members. Any idea if sourceforge supports that configuration?

I removed the OpenAL code from the SConstruct file...not that it was doing anything.
