==== Installing OpenAL and alut ====

To install OpenAL on Windows: [[http://openal.org/downloads/oalinst.zip|Installer]]

To install OpenAL on Mac: [[https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft|Github]]

To install alut on Windows or Mac: [[https://github.com/vancegroup/freealut|Github]]
Follow the cmake instructions, the VisualStudio ones seem obsolete.

==== Visual Studio Project Settings ====

Open a New Project -> Win32 Console Application

Go to Project ‘Properties’ :

	-- Add C:\Program Files\OpenAL 1.1 SDK\include to C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories
	-- Add  C:\Program Files\OpenAL 1.1 SDK\libs\Win32 to Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories
	-- Add  OpenAL32.lib at the end to Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies 

In your source code, you'll need 

#include "al.h" 

#include "alc.h"

For alut, it's best to copy alut.dll in the project directory, and

#include "alut.h"

If you like, you can start with this {{:assignments:emptyproject.zip|empty project}} that has all the settings and includes alut.dll
