Re: [Vess-users] LINUX compile question

[Rakolta, J. \(NM75\) <Joe...@ho...>]

Thanks Jason,

I'll give that a try.

Do you have any advice for installing OpenAL and ALUT on LINUX?  I
downloaded the source, followed the README's, no dice.

Errors like: can't find AL/alut.h, etc.  I'm not much of a LINUX guy,
but I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions in the README's.

Any help is appreciated.  (OpenAL might be a great thing, but it really
needs work on install procedures etc.)

Thanks for your help,

Joe Rakolta

You must be using a version of Linux that we haven't tested. I believe
R_OK is defined in unistd.h. The fact that it's not #included in the
file leads me to believe that some other header file includes it on RHEL
4, but not the distribution you're using. The fix would be to add a
#else section after the #ifdef _MSC_VER that does #include <unistd.h>.

Make sure you pass --enable-shared to ffmpeg's configure script.
Otherwise, the ffmpeg shared libraries don't get created.
