i would like to setup openAL for audio in projects but i dont really know how cmake works, is there a link where i can get one library that just needs to link the lib and include files? or am i forced to use cmake/makefile?

What makes you think that the only way to use OpenAL is by using CMake?

Saw that you build using cmake and poof comes a dll and compiled includes

#

My c make is not recognised for some reason, my system will nor recognise it , I updated the envoirment variable but no fruit

You could build it with CMake, Makefiles and a whole lot of other ways, including manually.

Windows

Oof, yeah. Windows and C programming never quite worked for me.

#

I'll let someone with more knowledge help you.

What compiler, mingw or msvc?

You can ship the libraries from vcpkg too

#

But doing it manually is probably useful for learning purposes, or if you dislike vcpkg for some reason

If you already use it, seems natural to use it for AL too

#

But also, why SDL2 instead of SDL3?

#

i use sdl3 over sdl2

#

but i only use sdl just so i can use their version of put pixels so i dont use tc and graphics.h

#

dont really know the other reason why, input handling

#

forgot also to say i am planning on getting a mac when they release the m5 versions

#

so i need to be less windows specific
