Warsow is linked against non existent libopenal.so.0

[Devport]

Binary package hint: warsow

System : Ubuntu Intrepid

Packages : warsow-0.42.dfsg1-1 / libopenal-1:1.3.253-4ubuntu1

When trying to switch to openal as sound module in warsow it gives an error message similar to

"libopenal.so.0 no found"

while libopenal1 comes with libopenal.so.1 instead. A symlink solves the problem. The package warsow needs to be relinked / rebuild against current libopenal.

libopenal is required to get surround sound as far as I know.

[Devport (devport)]

In contrast to my first statement a simple symlink does not fix the problem since occasionally warsow will crash that way.

Please, recompile warsow with libopenal.so.1, because is asking for libopenal.so.0

Linking libopenal.so.1 to libopenal.so.0 works fine.

Seconded, please recompile.
re: "Linking libopenal.so.1 to libopenal.so.0 works fine."
No, that does not work for me.

At comment #3 : The symlink works for me.

In /etc/openal/alsoft.conf try setting the audiodriver to alsa ( or any other driver that might work ).

drivers = alsa

Confirming the bug for me, as well as the hotfix (symlink) and the "real" fix:

change line 234 of source/snd_openal/snd_main.c from
#define ALDRIVER "libopenal.so.0"
to
#define ALDRIVER "libopenal.so.1"

Compiling and running works for me on 10.10

I'm closing this bug since warsow has been removed from Debian & Ubuntu since it was unmaintained. See http://bugs.debian.org/648317 for more details.
