Since this was not a clean build attempt (log contains "Skipping completed"), please "sudo port clean openal", try again, then attach the new main.log.

New error log

Replying to ryandesign@…: Ok, new error log was attached.

Since this was not a clean build attempt (log contains "Skipping completed"), please "sudo port clean openal", try again, then attach the new main.log.

I don't see the missing file anywhere on Lion either (CAStreamBasicDescription.h).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Maybe upgrading openal would help.

OpenAL 1.15.1 builds successfully on Mac OSX 10.8.2 with XCode Version 4.5.2 (4G2008a)

Download from: ​http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

Fixup CMake settings, then builds OK

@fgenolini, can you supply a patch that updates the portfile?

[fgenolini@…]

I have not yet created patches for MacPort's portfiles and I am not too sure where to start.

I have modified the CMakeLists.txt to turn CoreAudio ON:

OPTION(ALSOFT_REQUIRE_COREAUDIO  "Require CoreAudio backend"          ON)

I have then modified the XCode (Version 4.6 (4H127)) project settings to add /opt/local/lib to the library search path of the 3 ffmpeg examples compiled with OpenAL 1.15.1

I guess the new Portfile could look something like:

# $Id$

PortSystem              1.0
PortGroup               xcode 1.0

Refer to ​the guide for help with patching.

[fgenolini@…]

I have sent a request to the openal-soft mailing list to have the issues resolved in their code before I create a new Portfile for this package.

If possible, could you provide a link to that upstream report?

[philippe.groarke@…]

Any updates on OpenAL side?

[fgenolini@…]

No, email sent. No reply. Request to join mailing list. No reply.

[philippe.groarke@…]

OK, I guess I should mention I've reverted to OSX's native OpenAL framework, so I am personally fine and don't need this port anymore. Though this is off-topic and hopefully it will be resolved for dependencies.

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

I'd like to see this issue fixed for the SFML port I've been working on in #38987. It works with the system OpenAL, but I'd rather use the MacPorts one for reasons outlined in wiki:FAQ#ownlibs

Patches welcome.

I just tried to build openal on Lion and ran into exactly the same error.

I was about to launch into fixing this ticket, but it appears that an alternative implementation of this software, openal-soft, is available on MacPorts, and builds for all architectures on the buildbots except PPC <​http://packages.macports.org/openal-soft/>. Openal seems to build only for 10.6 <​http://packages.macports.org/openal/> on the buildbots.

Is there any need for the openal port, or this ticket, any longer?
