When i compile my openal code it compiles fine but when it runs it says it is missing the export OpenAL32.dll. How would you fix this i am using VC++ Thanks in advance Ructions

Do you have the OpenAL32.dll on your computer? It should be in the windows directoy, or in your executable directory.
All it is telling you is that it cannot find the dll anywhere it''s looking

Ye i have it on the computer it installed with the SdK

a quick fix would be to make sure that the DLL you are missing is in the same directory as say... all your openGL DLL files, cus you know that the compiler has linked to that directory for those DLLs, it will likely find the DLL you are missing if its in that one too.

I think the problem is i am using a old dll file it was last modified in 2000 so its a bit old but i can seem to find a newer version on the web. anyone have an address for it.

Thanks in advance

Did you take a look on the http://www.openal.org site? There you should find new versions.

http://3das.noeska.com - Create 3D Adventure games without programming.

just copy it directly into your game''s program directory as a start. if it doesn''t work fine then, go to the openAL website (google) and re-download the dlls and whatnot. if you''re releasing your game, you''ll have to ship it with the dll bundled in the game''s program directory anyway, so it''s not a big deal to put it there now.
