x64 compatibility

[Robert Dawson Jr.]

Greetings! Congratulations for this audio library!
This SDK is for 32-bit PureBasic for Windows. Is there a separate 64-bit version available?

Hello Robert,
The current PureBasic OpenAL SDK doesn't support the x64 OpenAL DLL. I do plan to support the 64-bit version in a future release.
The PureBasic OpenAL SDK is based on the ImpLIb SDK, which does support 64-bit DLL. Therefore, creating a 64-bit PureBasic OpenAL SDK should be possible. I think it will take a couple of months at most.

Hello Vladimir,
I appreciate the clarification! 🙏

The current ImpLib SDK branch features a PureBasic example using OpenAL. This example supports both 32 and 64-bit. I'll update the PureBasic OpenAL SDK for compatibility with x64.

Note: In order to test the 64-bit version it's necessary to have a 64-bit PureBasic compiler (x64) and a 64-bit OpenAL implementation. The expected DLL name is openal64.DLL. If using OpenAL Soft, soft_oal.dll must be renamed to openal64.dll.

The PureBasic OpenAL SDK was updated. The latest version v1.1.2 is compatible with OpenAL64 and PureBasic x64.

I see the same codebase is now compatible with 32 and 64 bit modes. The compatibility with openal-soft is also a great achievement! Congrats!
