How to build OpenAL-Soft and set up it in Qt Creator for Android
-
Yes, I added
#define RESTRICTand I see fewer errors. Some files have this line#include "config.h", but this file is not in the OpenAL-Soft source code. I added the emptyconfig.hfile. I think this file must be generated by CMake if you are compiling OpenAL-Soft from source. I found theconfig.h.infile that doesn't have the#define RESTRICT:config..h.in

@8Observer8 You need to show the picture of Tools->Options->Devices->Android
-
@8Observer8 what is your targeted android version(s)?
-
I added Bullet Physics to the project using sources. It works for emulator and for smartphone too:
-
@8Observer8
from here:
https://developer.android.com/build/jdks14 (API 34) 17 Core libraries
13 (API 33) 11 Core libraries
12 (API 32) 11 Java API
11 and lower Android versions=============================
your JDK version should be 11, not 17 for Android 7.
Still Android 7? I guess most Android phones have version 12 or 13 now. -

@8Observer8 That is very old. Then your JDK version is wrong at the first place.
Android NDK: The armeabi ABI is no longer supported. Use armeabi-v7a.
I use
armeabi-v7awhen I build for smartphone (and x86_64 - for emulator) but how to usearmeabi-v7awhen I build from the console? It will be good to have at lease a library for smartphone.

click qmake "Details" button under Build Steps. You will see options for ABIs on QtCreator 11.0.1(comes with Qt-5.15.2)
I use arm64-v8a and my JDK version is 11. My target Android versions are 12/13. -

But I want to try to build the OpenAL-Soft shared (or static) library from the console using this command
ndk-build. How to choosearmeabi-v7a? -
@8Observer8 I guess you have a different version of qt creator. I do not know yours.
-
@JoeCFD My version of Qt Creator is 7.0.0. But I use pure NDK from the console to build OpenAL-Soft from sources. How do you know that OpenAL-Soft doesn't support Android 7?
-
@8Observer8 You build OpenAL-Soft for Android 7. I did not say it does not support Android 7.
Instead you need JDK 11 to build C++ apps for Android 7. But in your settings, JDK 17 is used.@JoeCFD said in How to install OpenAL-Soft for Android in Qt Creator by copying OpenAL-Soft sources into a project:

I tried to run apps with Box2D and Bullet Physics on real smartphone Redmi 4x with Android 7. I use JDK 17 and it works. I tried to run an example with QMediaPlayer on my smartphone and it plays music. I think I found a solution. I should try to use Bass Audio Library for 3D sounds on Android. It's is too difficult to add OpenAL-Soft directly with sources. Now I know this information:
Note that OpenAL is LGPL-licensed. Which means you need to release the source to your application if you make it part of your application.

@8Observer8 Great it works for you with JDK 17. You can still build OpenAL-Soft to dynamic lib and add it to your app for Android. It does not violate LGPL-license.
@JoeCFD what do you think about this? https://github.com/AerialX/openal-soft-android How to build it?
-
Does anyone have compiled libraries (.so) of OpenAL-Soft for Android? I mean
armeabi-v7aandx86_64. I can't find step by step instructions.
