Hello,
I'm updating my cross compiler environment and I got an error when it tries to build the OpenAL library:

I don't remember that I came cross this error when last year I built the environment.

Another question about rebuild.sh script: can I select core-linux-x86_64 (release version rather than debug one) and use it?

That's quite weird - are you using the latest sources (master branch) of AROS and contrib repositories?

I actually rebuilt contrib yesterday (using option 4) core-contrib-x86_64) and managed to build whole contrib clean. @retrofaza did the same and didn't report any problems with openal.

What I see however is that you are build contrib inside a debug version, so your contrib will be debug as well (no optiomization). Use option 4) to build release contrib and also use option 5) to build release list-hosted. You can then combined SDKs from both builds to get one release SDK.

Thanks. I followed the instructions from here https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/, obviously I didn't call "git clone etc." but the relevant "git pull origin master" where I needed.
However, I've launched rebuild.sh with option 4 and it seems fine now. What do I need to do to have all the contrib files inside core-linux-x86_64/core-linux-x86_64-d?

Just take all the subdirectories of core-contrib-x86_64/bin/linux-x86_64/AROS and copy them over to core-linux-x86_64-d/bin/linux-x86_64/AROS. Choose "No" when asked to overwrite.

Thank you. I needed that to have the sdl1.2_gfx library, because I'm working on the porting of UFO Enemy Unknown. By the way the game runs fine on hosted AROS, but it crashes immediately on my native AROS machine, could it be that I have to update the system library files?

Ok, UFO is great!

Re:native - if it is updated to U3 then it should not crash. If you still get the crash with U3 applied share the screenshot of crash requester with More button clicked.

No, I've still AROS One 1.3 on that PC...

I think AROS One 1.3 contains the U3 update. Can you share the crash screenhot you are getting?

Oh, yes, right... Actually I found the issue, which is an original bug: basically it was using SDL_RWFromConstMem rather than SDL_RWFromMem for memory blocks that aren't read-only. Now it works well, everything looks good, audio/music, full screen modes, load/save positions and so on... shortly I'll release it. Smile
