Hi,
Can I somehow link to the static libraries instead of using .dll's?
It seems that I have to install OpenAL, or is this fixed with OpenAL soft?
Thanks,
Daevius

Which DLLs are you talking about ? OpenAL or SFML ones ?
With the new version of SFML, you won't have to install OpenAL anymore, copying the DLL will be enough.
-
OpenAL's DLL's and libsndfile-1.dll. I rather prefer one .exe then a whole list of DLL's with it ;).
SFML does that well with static libs too :)
-
OpenAL and libsdnfile are under the LGPL license, which means I can't statically link them in SFML if I want to keep my zlib/png license.
-
but we can link them statically if our code is published on the LGPL license, right ?
or is there maybe a problem with the zlib/png license then ?

I'm not sure, but I guess so.

Absolutely not, the zlib/png license has almost no restriction.

OpenAL should be ok, but libsndfile is a little bit hard to rebuild on Windows.

I'll do it as soon as I can.
