[vrjuggler-devel] Patch to 2.2.x branch to fix build

[Ryan P. <rp...@ia...>]

Hello all,

Brief introduction: I'm Ryan Pavlik, a first-year graduate (Ph.D) 
student in HCI at ISU.

I imagine the 2.2 branch on SVN hasn't seen much love recently (one year 
since the last commit), but I thought you might like this contributed 
patch.  I wrote a script that unpacks, configures, compiles, packages 
(as deb files!), and installs VR Juggler 2.2.x and all its dependencies 
(including system-wide environment variable VJ_BASE_DIR) from source on 
Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (Jaunty).  In order to get it to compile correctly, I 
had to make a few little changes: I used the latest 2.2 SVN and created 
and applied effectively two changes:
- add missing <cstring> includes
- fix ifdefs in the openal code to actually test for the constant they 
use, rather than make assumptions based on platform.

I have attached the patch to this email.  If there's interest, I will 
check with the right people and publicize the build scripts as well, 
since I think they'd find use.

Ryan
