I just did a start out of Cygwin and then I have this errors when closing: OpenAL error (AL_ILLEGAL_COMMAND): stop (alDeleteSources) I do not have the time now to verify if I have sound when starting directly under Cygwin, I'll do that this evening. But when starting from Windows there is no sound problem!

Ok that is the same error I am seeing then. I have downloaded the OpenAL stuff via svn to see if I can compile it in cygwin - but the svn forma is so different from plain old cvs I am going to have to get on the openal list to figure what to autogen, configure and compile.

Remark: This is the tutorial which Kevin sent to me before finishing his published one which I don't have now.

Okay that looks a lot like the last page of what I was using - I think I see what he was doing now - he was giving directions for Cygwin and then also for Win32 at the same time. Those are not necessarily all instructions for one system.

Brian,
just a last one - I think you are misunderstanding something!

I presume that you are using CYGWIN under Windows XP - right?
THEN you MUST have the OpenAL.dll in your Windows XP system folder - at least for me here it does not work without it!
("must copy /usr/local/bin/openal32.dll to Win32 system directory")

Believe me, I NEVER did anything else with the OpenAL system than extracting (under CYGWIN!!!) this special "cyg_openAL.tgz" (which puts all these OpenAL stuff into CYGWIN usr\local\include\AL\, ie. al.h, alc.h,etc and to CYGWIN usr\local\lib}\, ie libopenal32.a, etc) and copying the Windows32 OpenAL RUNTIME stuff (openal32.dll) as described.

I am using FlightGear CVS under CYGWIN since a long time and never had any problems with the sound system, I only recognized this error-message because you asked me :-)

AND .. you don't even need to fire CYGWIN to run the compiled FlightGear program. I start it from the Windows XP GUI with my FGTools program (which I coded for this use) BUT you can also use at *.bat file or the Windows XP commandline to start Cygwin-FlightGear :-) - it even works without a full Cygwin install, you only must have some *.dlls and the pathes set right (but this is another theme, just mentioned it to make clear that you only need the full Cygwin system to COMPILE the stuff and hold your CVS system updated).

So it is a MIX of two systems if you use FlightGear compiled under Cygwin running under Windows.

There might be other possibilities how to handle all this CYGWIN stuff - at last, to finish the discussion, I can only tell you THAT IT REALLY WORKS if you follow the tutorial step for step!

All the best to you
Georg "Heliflyer" EDDW


Thanks again Georg
