How to install OpenAL SDK on Ubuntu?

I'm very new to Linux and programming on Linux. I'm trying to install OpenAL SDK on ubuntu ... My best guess is that I will need to download OpenAL from the CVS repo. I found a tutorial: http://www.edenwaith.com/products/pige/tutorials/openal.php

However, when I try to run the terminal command this is what happens:

steven@ubuntu:~$ cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvs-repository login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/usr/local/cvs-repository
CVS password: 
cvs [login aborted]: connect to opensource.creative.com(124.246.64.74):2401 failed: No route to host

Any tips on how to get the OpenAL SDK installed?

Solution

  • Why do you download from cvs instead of simply running apt-get install libopenal-dev? This automatically downloads OpenAL and its dependency.
