I'm trying to install SFML on a friend's computer, I got all the needed stuff installed and set up cmake perfectly. But when I run sudo make install, it runs into this OpenAl error.
Is there any way to fix this?

OS? Compiler?

Is OpenAL installed properly?

[Gan]

10.7.5

Clang - Should be the latest but I don't remember the command to check clang version

OpenAL - OS was recently installed, should be the latest default with the OS

[eXpl0it3r]

10.7.5

So you're talking about Mac OS X?

[Gan]

Yes

Well I couldn't get it to compile on my friend's computer, so I did the next best thing.

I made a SFML project on my computer then copied all the frameworks and dylibs and headers to the project source and sent it to him.
He now has a working portable package of SFML he can write code with.

SFML is meant to work with (or, at least with) the default impl of OpenAl provided by Apple. Connor's version is apparently not this version (i.e. he's using /Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework whilst the official is /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework). He can either uninstall the former or configure cmake to use the latter.

That's weird. I can play with it but his computer was a fresh install of Lion.
