Prebuilt OpenAL libraries for Android segfault

[MarioLiebisch]

Linking and not using the audio library is perfectly fine, but once alcOpenDevice() is called, the app segfaults:

I/DEBUG   (  180): backtrace:
I/DEBUG   (  180):     #00  pc 0002deb8  /data/app-lib/com.example.sfml-1/libopenal.so
I/DEBUG   (  180):     #01  pc 0002df84  /data/app-lib/com.example.sfml-1/libopenal.so
I/DEBUG   (  180):     #02  pc 00019320  /data/app-lib/com.example.sfml-1/libopenal.so (alcOpenDevice+780)
I/DEBUG   (  180):     #03  pc 0000493d  /data/app-lib/com.example.sfml-1/libsfml-audio.so

Verified on a Nexus 5 (Android 4.4) as well as a Transformer Prime (4.1).

Building OpenAL-Soft on my own fixes the issue.

Building from this repository especially aimed at Android NDK (repository to be put into the jni folder) works for me without any further modifications.

Might be a stupid question, but for what platform would that be (armabi, x86, mips, ...)?

[MarioLiebisch]

I've been able to try armeabi and armeabi-v7a - both segfaulting. If you're referring to the repository, it builds for all supported platforms.

Can confirm the error. I tried your solution, but what do you mean with: "repository to be put into the jni folder"

[MarioLiebisch]

Removed these instructions as they were incomplete and misleading (had a personal mess in my source folder).

[AlexAUT]

Hmm, even with the "new" libopenal.so I get the segfault. (HTC one x 4.2.2)

[MarioLiebisch]

Make sure to replace those inside your SFML source tree, then install it again and rebuild your app (ndk-make -B).

[AlexAUT]

Reinstalled SFML with the "new" openal.so in extlib but still not working. I guess I have to wait until its fixed in repo.
But thanks for you help

Huge thanks to MarioLiebisch... I spent days on this issue, who knew the official OpenAL-Soft would work on Android... I hate myself lol.
