Broken in Big Sur

[alekmlynek]

The documentation is really outdated. This no longer works on latest MacOS versions.

AL_API void AL_APIENTRY alSourcei( ALuint sid, ALenum param, ALint value ) OPENAL_DEPRECATED; ^ main.c:362:3: error: 'alGetError' is deprecated: first deprecated in macOS 10.15 - OpenAL is deprecated in favor of AVAudioEngine [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations] ...

Seems like that won't be fixable without rewriting bucklespring with a macOS specific version.

The error basically says that the audio system that bucklespring uses is not longer supported on macOS (OpenAL is still supported on Windows and Linux).

I really don't know if people are willing to invest time in to writing a new audio system for bucklespring and making it only be used on macOS (Windows and Linux does NOT support AVAudioEngine)

[LunaTheFoxgirl]

A possible solution would be to require a software OpenAL implementation, though. I think OpenAL-soft compiles on macOS? Though I don't know what would need to be done to link against it; I haven't used macOS in a while now.

It works by removing -Werror from Makefile

However there was another error with the prereq alure.
Error: alure has been disabled because it has a removed upstream repository!

Had to do this to fix that:
Download http://web.archive.org/web/20190529213651/https://kcat.strangesoft.net/alure-releases/alure-1.2.tar.bz2
Unpack, go to build, cmake .., make, make install

After this bucklespring compiled and sounds good (m1 / Big Sur)

I did not understand how to install alure after downloading it. Can you explain me please? :(

Unpack with:
tar -xvf alure-1.2.tar.bz2

Go to build:
cd alure-1.2/build

Cmake (if you don't have it installed, you can do so with brew install cmake):
cmake ..

Then you run make and make install.

Actually, works fine here just following the changes in #96

@AlexanderWillner Thank you! I've just tried to install and run bucklespring after several years on macOS again, and everything compiled successfully it seems.

However, when I run ./buckle (or sudo ./buckle), there are no sounds on key presses, even though it starts without any errors.

afplay wav/01-0.wav does play the sound, if that means anything.

Do you have any idea if I'm doing anything wrong? (I'm on Big Sur (11.6.2.))

[AlexanderWillner]

Probably you've to set accessibility permission in the system settings first for Terminal.app:

Hey, thanks for the reply @AlexanderWillner .
I have done that (I actually got an error first when trying to run ./bucklespring before giving Terminal that permission), and even quit and restarted Terminal after that just in case, but still no sound output

[roko-p]

Ah, it actually does play the sounds if I keep pressing the same key.

Or when typing in a normal way, there's a sound every 5-10 key presses, but most often only the "background" sound.

So pretty much the issue #60 again/still, but now it seems even more pronounced.

I don't understand how it works fine for you other folks on macOS 🤔 Do you also have the 1.2_1 version of alure?
