Is there any more to that log as I don't see any errors there.

**Jack1** · 02-12-2012, 07:38 AM

That is the only log it gives to me. And isnt these some kind of errors:

Yes, those are the errors. That looks like the owl wrapper can't find the alut headers. Did you download the dependencies.zip from the hpl1engine github page? If you are wanting to use this for a project other than penumbra, the latest master code of oalwrapper has a compiler define to disable the wave loader ( and thus remove the dependency on alut). This was used in my Linux port of Gratuitus space battles which uses OALWrapper, but had no need for the wave loader. ( everything was ogg )

**Jack1** · 02-12-2012, 08:11 PM

I downloaded the dependencies.zip from github and i did everything as told in this guide: http://frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3592.html and i'm trying to compile Penumbra Overture so i'm not doing this for any other project.

**Urkle** · 02-14-2012, 06:41 PM

AHAH!.. So, in the latest master, the changes I made defaulted OFF the ALUT support.. But as I don't have a windows system handy, nor Visual studio I did not update the vcproj to reflect that change.. So it's trying to compile the WAVLoader (OAL_WAVSample), but the rest of ALUT is disabled. So, you'll need to modify the project settings to define WITH_ALUT, and ensure ALUT is linked.

If you wanted to go one step further, it would be providing two targets.. one with and one without.. And then submit a patch/pull request so I can incorporate it in the code repository for everyone.

Penumbra needs to have the ALUT/wav support. We nixed it in Amnesia as it wasn't needed (we just used ogg for everything).

And the OALWrapper will be receiving some more "love" over the rest of this month as I use it in another Humble Bundle port I'm working on.

**Jack1** · 03-15-2012, 03:07 PM

I redownloaded OALWrapper today. I think it has changed a little because it was updated 9 days ago.
So i'm asking how do i enable the ALUT/wav support. Could someone help me with this?

**Urkle** · 03-15-2012, 03:23 PM

you have to define a WITH_ALUT define in your build system/project settings. Ideally create a new target and change the compiler defines(preprocessor definitons) to include WITH_ALUT. and then compile in OAL_WAVSample.cpp

If you look at the CMakeLists.txt file (used for Linux) you'll see how that is handled there.

Ideally a replacement WAV loader that doesn't use ALUT would be real nice Smile

But it really hasn't affected the games I've been porting lately as they all use just ogg files.

**Jack1** · 03-15-2012, 06:29 PM

I decided to compile everything but now even the HPL1 engine wont compile anymore.
It gives this error:

Code: (Select All)

D:\OvertureSource\OALWrapper\include\OALWrapper/OAL_Effect_Reverb.h(54): error C2065: 'AL_EFFECT_EAXREVERB' : undeclared identifier

How i could fix this one?

**Urkle** · 03-15-2012, 06:46 PM

You are compiling against an old and outdated openal headers.

in the OALWrapper/include/AL are updated versions of efx.h and alext.h either add OALWrapper/include to the include path, or (if you are using the hpl1 dependencies.zip) replace these two files (and remove the efx-creative.h, EFX-Util.h and xram.h files)
