Hi, Some of you may have seen that I've uploaded an update to port:openal-soft to trac, bringing the port to the current v1.18.1 . I've also filed a ticket for a build conflict in Qt5's QtMultiMedia component, which is supposed to build against the system OpenAL.framework but which picks up $prefix/lib/libopenal.dylib if it is present, which is probably not a very good idea. At the same time, openal-soft's configuration utility uses Qt5. My proposed upgrade makes building it optional but it's still a considerable cost if you need it but don't have any other use for Qt5.
As to port:openal, it looks to be severely outdated and I don't get the impression that the official openal.org ships the sources for even the version I have in my OS X 10.9 OpenAL.framework . Currently, the portfiles below contain port:openal or port:openal-soft : games/alienarena/Portfile multimedia/sfml/Portfile multimedia/mpv/Portfile graphics/SimGear/Portfile and more importantly: gnome/gstreamer010-gst-plugins-bad/Portfile gnome/gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad/Portfile If any of these ports' maintainers read this: is it really necessary to require the openal port unconditionnally, is Apple's OpenAL.framework not "good enough" at least on more recent OS X versions? Thanks, René
