[Openal] FreeBSD and OpenAL

[Peter Kryszkiewicz]

My ports collection on FreeBSD 6.1 has OpenAL version 0.8, but it 
wouldn't recognize any devices on my system, using alutInit. Using a 
simple test program I get the  error;

fcntl: Device not configured

So I read old posts and as suggested, removed the alutInit code and used 
this instead;

const ALCchar *devstring = alcGetString(NULL,ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);

to see what devices it could find, but it returned a null string.

I used svn to download the latest trunk to see if that would work, but 
got the following errors on using ./autogen;


configure.ac:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:107: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_LIBM


Where to go from here? I have esd and native sound with OSS and it all 
works .
