According to this site: http://gentoo-wiki.com/OpenAL Openal needs 2 different places for the config file for OpenAL 1. /etc/openalrc is for system wide setup 2. ~/.openalrc is for user specfic setup When I emerge openal none of this files are created! I have used openal in the past, saw that it doesn*T worked and unemerged it. Now I have asked in the forums and saw that 2) is needed to play e.g. vdrift with openal on amd64. I am an average user and assume if it doesn*T work, that I unmerge it. I can*T know that I only need an additional config file to get it working. Thanks developers for your work! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge openal 2.doesn*T works because ~/.openalrc is missing 3.cant play vdrift with sound Expected Results: I would like to emerge openal and get the config files installed. So I see them and can configure it right. I want to have a message at the bottom of emerge to give me a hint, please!! http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-572477-highlight-.html
This is NOT a Gentoo Bugzilla product bug; read the descriptions. Plus we certainly won't he installing anything to $HOME.
Umm... you *don't* need any configuration for openal unless you have some whacked out configuration requirements. I run openal on *tons* of packages and they all work perfectly fine without configuration, so the current setup is correct for most users. Sorry, I don't see that anything needs to be changed here, as we cannot possibly know that your particular system needs configuration while others don't.
Ok, Thanks
