[Openal] Mac OS X OpenAL

[Filip Iliescu]

The instructions to compile and set up OpenAL on OS X seem a bit lacking.
it says to set these environment variables:
 CPPFLAGS="-I${OPENAL_PREFIX}/include"
 LDFLAGS="-L${OPENAL_PREFIX}/lib"
 export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS

Do I point OPENAL_PREFIX to /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework ??
There is no include or lib in the framework so Im assuming this is in
BSD somewhere.
Also once its compiled, the Mac OS technote:
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2006/qa1504.html says I need to
override some macros to take care of symbols in the framework that are
still there from alut.h.  Has anyone done this?

Thanks
