opanAL on MacOS

[aspentreemedia]

I'm running into an issue which appears to be installing openAL on MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave). When I go through the stitchEm install scripts it's failing on openAL.

sudo port install opencv glew gsed jpeg libpng openal tiff faac faad2 ceres-solver glfw ffmpeg glm OpenEXR

Error: Processing of port openal failed
Which of course causes issues when I try to cmake.

Looking at main.log as indicated in the terminal error the bit that seems the most relevant is the 404 error:
:debug:archivefetch Fetching archive failed: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
:msg:archivefetch ---> Attempting to fetch openal-1.3_0.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 from http://aus.us.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/openal

I'm not familiar enough with where I should be going to get openAL when it fails with macports. I've seen some mention that it's already installed on macOS and I can't find the developer section at creative that appeared to have downloads and openAL.org the SDK download is an .exe

I think Steve in issue #27 ran into the same exact thing I've been facing but I'm not sure how he got openAL installed to finish the cmake.

Any suggestions?

Hi Mike,

just remove openal from the install invocation. The package is no longer needed to build the software. It seems there was an oversight in the build documentation when OpenAL support was removed.
