Tested and works fine with the new lwjgl parameters and it's signed correctly, thanks!

OpenAL-Soft has a dependency on MSVCR90.dll which is not shipped with LWJGL. This is a bit of a problem.

confirming ... happened in 2.5

OpenAL: Upgrade to latest OpenAL-Soft (1.12+)

will look into it

[Matzon]

need to change some stuff in the build system - pinging endolf ...

[princec]

I now ship it with Revenge, going to update my other games tonight I think. Wonder how many sales that cost :/ bah

Working with endolf behind the scenes on fixing it in nightly builds.
problem is that nightly builds are using a newer OpenAL version than was shipped in 2.7 ...

could be forced to compile a specific one for 2.7.1 based on the old version we had in 2.5

[princec]

I don't have a problem with the requirement - it just needs to be shipped with LWJGL. Unfortunately I've not yet found an MSVCR90.dll that works Getting an R6034 runtime error now (SxS error - app needs a manifest or somesuch).

we should hopefully get it fixed tonight

[princec]

What's the plan to fix it? Can I try it at home first?

latest OpenAL32 builds for windows 32 bit should be fine: https://www.newdawnsoftware.com/hudson/view/OpenAL/job/OpenAL-win32/

However, need the fix applied to 64bit windows too - as well as trying a MinSizeRelease target which should make the dll a lot smaller - around 250k versus 450k - this can be upx'ed further tho

[Matzon]

latest builds on https://www.newdawnsoftware.com/hudson/view/OpenAL/ looks good.

I'll prepare a new 2.7.1 release with these files, as soon as I have time.

In the lwjgl-maven ZIP package, the version still says 2.7.0. Is this a bug?

And the JAR and POM files should have the version number in their filename, e.g. lwjgl-2.7.1.jar.

Just being a nitpick, that's all
