May I ask where to find the latest version of JOAL

Java Sound & OpenAL
#1

I want to know where I can find the latest version of JOAL. Please tell me. Thanks

#2

We don’t have automated builds available yet for the latest version of JOAL. Hopefully we’ll get them online this coming week. See this thread for more information. In the meantime I have placed a Windows build of the current source tree here:

http://www.rawbw.com/~kbrussel/joaltmp/joal.jar
http://www.rawbw.com/~kbrussel/joaltmp/joal_native.dll
http://www.rawbw.com/~kbrussel/joaltmp/javadoc_public.zip
http://www.rawbw.com/~kbrussel/joaltmp/joal-demos.jar

Let me know if you need the native library for another platform and I can try to put it up.

Ken,

I downloaded joal for linux but I get this error:

net.java.games.joal.ALException: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/igor/javaprojekti/jogl/Gravity/libjoal_native.so: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
	at net.java.games.joal.ALFactory.initialize(ALFactory.java:60)
	at net.java.games.joal.ALFactory.getAL(ALFactory.java:71)
	at net.java.games.sound3d.AudioSystem3D.init(AudioSystem3D.java:61)

libopenal.so.0 seems to be missing, I didn’t find it i n release build. Can you please provide natives for linux, thanx in advance.

You need to download and install OpenAL from http://openal.org.

Hmm, I’m digging into openal and so far I’ve got an error :

net.java.games.joal.ALException: Method “alGenBuffers” not available
at net.java.games.joal.impl.ALImpl.alGenBuffers(ALImpl.java:292)

I’m trying to use the methods with IntBuffers parameters. The demos however still use int arrays and these ones work fine on my computer (well at least the first lesson)

are the download links of this thread the right ones ? (I’ve also tested the ones from joal page, not working either).

Many thanks !

Lilian

That particular error looks like you didn’t create an OpenAL context yet. Have you called e.g. ALut.alutInit()?

#7

That was it… sorry for newbee question :slight_smile:

Now it still doesn’t work (without exception) but I’m going to check my code before complaining…

Take a look at the devmaster demos in the joal-demos workspace. They exercise the current JOAL APIs reasonably well and should be a good starting point.
