#error fix #openal #bug fix #jam
It came to my notice that peeps were facing some sort of error when running Gestalt.exe (my submission for the GMTK game jam). I've traced it back to OpenAL, and so you should
This error should not have happened as I had included all the necessary .dll files, and I believe the root cause is the fact that I statically linked the libraries instead of dynamically linking them. Unfortunately as per the jam rules I can't upload the dynamically linked and built game files as a patch until after the voting period gets over - so until then, I'm afraid you'll have to run the oalinst executable which was provided in the zip file to install OpenAL and get rid of any errors. Please bring any further bugs to my attention in comments.
