find_package(OpenAL) failing with target armeabi and host OSX

[qinqon]

It's preferring always the OSX OpenAL Framework version, I have to force OPENAL_LIBRARY.

I have open an issue and do a pull

Please next time include more information about the problem, such as including the error/warning messages you get.

I got this warning when generating the Makefile:

WARNING: Target "sfml-audio" requests linking to directory "/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework".  Targets may link only to libraries.  CMake is dropping the item.

because I have installed SFML for OS X beforehand. Building SFML then results in tone of undef ref to OpenAL functions.

Is that what you are referring to?

[qinqon]

Yest, this is it.

I did have to change the CMakeLists.txt and do the following:

https://github.com/SFML/SFML/pull/1081/commits/178a5b1ac34686e90f26095616d64338e8bf53a3

It forces OPENAL_LIBRARY:

set(OPENAL_LIBRARY ${CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH})

We know what you did, we just don't know why it was required.
What errors did you get?

[Hiura]

Moreover, this patch doesn't work for me, and shouldn't for you either actually. CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH cannot be assigned to OPENAL_LIBRARY like that.

[qinqon]

After checking again, As Hiura says, the patch doesn't work, It was something that I did at CMake distribution FindOpenAL.cmake, but I have lose the change.

What could be a solution for this ?

I've never used the hints and I'm not sure exactly how they can be used, but that might be a lead.

[qinqon]

Ok, I will try setting OPENAL environment variable.

Thanks.
