To install alut on Windows or Mac: Github Follow the cmake instructions, the VisualStudio ones seem obsolete.

Open a New Project → Win32 Console Application

Go to Project ‘Properties’ :

1. - Add C:\Program Files\OpenAL 1.1 SDK\include to C++ → General → Additional Include Directories
2. - Add C:\Program Files\OpenAL 1.1 SDK\libs\Win32 to Linker → General → Additional Library Directories
3. - 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 empty project that has all the settings and includes alut.dll
