digitalmars.D.learn - OpenAL with ogg

reply Charma <Motoko_Kusanagi web.de> writes:
Hello,
I started to try using OpenAL the very first time. (no experience in C++ 
either...) I can't get it to run. Can anyone help me with a sample code 
for D? i have found very few samples on the net but they only work with 
wave and have almost no comments at all so it is impossible for a newbie 
to understand.

Best would be something that loads just one ogg-file from hdisk and 
plays it, that would be enough for the beginning. It would help a lot if 
you could add comments to the code so i can follow up what's happening.
A tutorial for D would help too.

Right now i (try to) use DerelictAL and DerelictOgg. I don't know if 
those are the best "headers". Does anyone know any better ones? Is there 
something in Phobos maybe?!? Websites with tutorials and other help 
would be very good too.

Thanks for any help!

ps: sorry for my bad engrish ;)

If your main interest is just playing a sound and not learning the internals
of OpenAL, you could try ArcLib's sound module:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/arclib/browser/trunk/arc/sound.d

It uses the Derelict bindings to OpenAL.

I don't know if this helps either, but this 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/yage/browser/trunk/src/yage/resource/sound.d 
is the code the above module is based upon, and this site 
http://www.devmaster.net/articles.php?catID=6 seems to have the best 
OpenAL tutorials.

Thanks for your answers so far. That sound.d was exactly what i way 
looking for... unfortunatly i can'T get it to work.. I downloaded the 
whole arclib and derelict and copied all files to my main.d-folder and 
tried to compile but it will always fail with a link error with a 
strange error like "EAX=...., EBX=asss" and so on... looks like an 
essembler-error... but i don't know anything about that stuff...

I am very helpless when it is about stuff from dsource.org... the libs 
and stuff they offer always has only very rare or no information about 
how to use it. I never know where to copy the libs to or do i really 
have to build them or not and if so, i have no idea how to and what it 
is good for which ends up for me to always bother my friend to help me out.
Does anyone know how i can just get all my tango, derelict and arclib 
stuff get into the dmd-folders like phobos so that i can access them 
from anywhere?
i already tryed to copy it into the phobos-folder next to the std-folder 
but i always get a "can't read"-error when i do like that... it only 
works when i copy the files into the folder where my source-code is, 
which is extremly bothering and i am sure it is not the correct way...

Also the download-links from the project-page of arclib is not working.. 
i am getting a 404 not found error... only the v1 works. does anyone 
know an alternative source to download the newest version? i usually 
prefer to use the most improved and newest version...

Another question: I use ddbi for access to a mysql-db. for the final 
program to work i always need to copy the libmysql.dll with my 
exe-file.. is there any way to compile without the dll-needed?

Sorry for my big nescience -.-
