What is easiest cross-platform way to play .ogg files with OpenAL (Win32/Linux/...)?

ZenGL can stream ogg music. And it uses libraries which I mentioned. With FreePascal you can use static linking without dll's. Delphi... you can try to use object files from ogg libs after compilation with Borland C++, but I had no luck.

Hi Andru, I have downloaded libogg 1.3.0 and libvorbis 1.3.2, and both seem to come with source code...so I was wondering what I might be able to compile them with to produce statically linking libs/whatever for freepascal then? (I guess I can always give up on Delphi for compiling my game and just use Lazarus)

Any idea if code::blocks might work?

cheers,
Paul

Yes, it will, but you will be needed to create proper project file with all options... But even so - static compilation won't be easy for Windows. See source code of ZenGL - zgl_sound_ogg.pas and zgl_lib_msvcrt.pas.

Thanks, I will take a look
