Description Karol Szumski 2006-01-27 08:53:56 UTC

openal-20051024 doesn't break backwards compability as much as it is said to. AFAIK all that must be done right now to make it backwards-compabitable is to force all programs using old openal to link to alut as well.

Created attachment 78291 [details]
blender-2.41.ebuild [modified]

A modified ebuild that compiles with openal-20051024 and alut-20051024

Comment 2 Karol Szumski 2006-01-27 09:16:52 UTC

modifying /usr/lib/pkgconfig/openal.pc
to export
-lopenal -lalut
instead of
-lopenal
might work as well for anything that uses pkg-config (blender does not... shame on it)

Please, attach a unified diff, not the whole ebuild...
