I finally got around to updating FG/SG to Head. As we know - it fails under MSVC9. Here's how I fixed it: Downloaded and installed OpenAL 1.1 Core SDK from Creative Labs. Downloaded freealut-1.1.0 from Creative Labs. Compiled it by converting the MSVC 7 project files supplied to MSVC9, and including OpenAL 1.1 Core SDK. Put the generated alut.dll in the active path. Patched soundmgr_openal.cxx/hxx and sample_group.hxx with +#elif defined(_WIN32) +# include <al.h> or +#elif defined(_WIN32) +# include <al.h> +# include <alc.h> +# include <AL/alut.h> as appropriate. Built FG/SG with \freealut-1.1.0\include and \OpenAL 1.1 Core SDK\include. Linked FG to \freealut-1.1.0\admin\VisualStudioDotNET\alut\Release and OpenAL 1.1 Core SDK\libs\Win32. As they say here in the UK "simples". Does it work - yes, except FG now crashes on exit. I can now hear excellent sound, and nice new 3D clouds, with almost no impact on framerate. I expect Fred can come up with a better, easier way. Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
