I have created a new OpenAL tarball that breaks ALut into a separate DLL http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/fgfs/openal_cyg.tgz $ tar -tzf openal_cyg.tgz bin/ bin/ALut.dll bin/openal32.dll include/ include/AL/ include/AL/al.h include/AL/alc.h include/AL/alctypes.h include/AL/altypes.h include/AL/alu.h include/AL/alut.bak include/AL/alut.h include/AL/aluttypes.h include/AL/alutypes.h lib/ lib/libALut.a lib/libopenal32.a win/Makefile HTH Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
