Always the following error messages, have no idea why it is so.

java.compile:

Please can anybody help?

It’s because

public static final float AL_FLANGER_DEFAULT_FEEDBACK = (-0.5f)f;

isn’t legal syntax. The second “f” is extraneous. Something wonky with the GlueGen code generation I would guess?

#3

JOAL has currently no maintainer. It won’t build with latest GlueGen (which is under heavy development right now).

you could try to use an older version (e.g a version before this changeset: http://github.com/sgothel/gluegen/commit/03bf321dc0aac6a2bc635093d634e1c8e67f8d43)

#4

Yup, absolutely correct !!!
I changed back to an old version, and it works now !! Thank you so much !!

Cheers
