just been trying to get OpenAL Soft to build on Windows 7 using Visual
Studio 2013. Trying to generate a solution with CMake fails to find
Direct Sound, despite my having the June 2010 SDK installed and trying
to run cmake with:<br style="" class=""></div><br style="" class="">cmake -D DXSDK_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)" -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" ..<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">The problem seems to be in FindDSound.cmake, the call to find_library is only providing:<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">PATHS "${DXSDK_DIR}/lib"<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">My DirectX SDK does not have libraries in that directory.

"x64".<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">The sensible fix for this appears to be, at the top of FindDSound.cmake, add:<br><br style="" class=""># Determine platform architecture<br style="" class="">IF (CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8 )<br style="" class=""> SET(ARCHITECTURE "x64")<br style="" class="">ELSE()<br style="" class=""> SET(ARCHITECTURE "x86")<br style="" class="">ENDIF()<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">Then change the line that reads:<br style="" class=""> PATHS "${DXSDK_DIR}/lib"<br style="" class="">To:<br style="" class=""> PATHS "${DXSDK_DIR}/lib" "${DXSDK_DIR}/lib/${ARCHITECTURE}"<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">After making this change Direct Sound is found and OpenAL Soft appears to compile (I've not yet had a chance to check it's working beyond
that). <br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">I'm somewhat surprised that this hasn't been picked up before so I can only conclude I've done something wrong.
