JOAL, OpenAL API Binding for
Java™
Original document
location
Git Repository
This project's canonical repositories is hosted on JogAmp.
Overview
The JOAL Project
hosts a reference implementation of the Java bindings for OpenAL API, and is designed to provide
hardware-supported 3D spatialized audio for applications written in
Java.
This project also hosts the Sound3D Toolkit, a high level API for
spatialized audio built on top of the OpenAL bindings. This toolkit is
designed to provide access to all the features of OpenAL through an
intuitive, easy to use, object-oriented interface.
JOAL is part of the JogAmp
project.
The JogAmp project needs funding and we offer commercial
support!
 Please contact Göthel Software (Jausoft).
License
See LICENSE.txt.
Platform Support
JOAL is tested against OpenAL-Soft (github repo), the
cross-platform, software implementation of the OpenAL 3D audio API.
See OpenAL-Soft environment
variables and configuration
example.
All JOAL platform builds contain a self-build native library of OpenAL-Soft, version v1.23.1
from our fork.
Our builds expose the following audio backends:
GNU/Linux

PipeWire
PulseAudio
ALSA
OSS
SndIO (linked)
WaveFile
Null

Android/Linux

PipeWire
OpenSL
WaveFile
Null

Windows

WinMM
DirectSound
WASAPI
WaveFile
Null

MacOS

CoreAudio
WaveFile
Null

Build Requirements
This project has been built under Win32, GNU/Linux, Android/Linux and
MacOS.
Check GlueGen's
HowToBuild for basic prerequisites.
Additionally the following packages and tools have been used:

All Systems:

See GlueGen's
HowToBuild
OpenAL-Soft (github repo)

Windows:

CMake 3.15.2
OpenAL Soft: Audio-Backends: WinMM, DirectSound, WASAPI, WaveFile,
Null

GNU/Linux:

cmake
OpenAL Soft: OpenAL: PipeWire, PulseAudio, ALSA, OSS, SndIO
(linked), WaveFile, Null


     apt-get install cmake autoconf \
             libpipewire-0.3-dev \
             libpulse-dev libpulse0:amd64 libpulse0:i386 pulseaudio \
             libsndio-dev \
             libasound2-dev libasound2:amd64 libasound2:i386
On Debian 11 Bullseye, use bullseye-backports
apt -t bullseye-backports install libpipewire-0.3-dev to
have libpipewire-0.3>=0.3.23, i.e. version 0.3.65.

Android/Linux:

cmake
OpenAL Soft: Audio-Backends: PipeWire, OpenSL, WaveFile, Null

OSX

OSX 10.2 or later
OSX Developer Tools Xcode
CMake 3.15.2 https://cmake.org/download/ and
install the commandline tools https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30668601/installing-cmake-command-line-tools-on-a-mac
OpenAL Soft: Audio-Backends: CoreAudio, WaveFile, Null


JOAL requires the GlueGen workspace to be checked out as a sibling
directory to the joal directory. See GlueGen's HowToBuild https://jogamp.org/gluegen/doc/HowToBuild.html
Directory Organization:
make/           Build-related files and the main build.xml
src/            The actual source for the JOAL APIs.
src/test/       A couple of small tests
build/          (generated directory) Where the Jar and DLL files get built to
www/            JOAL project webpage files
GIT
JOAL can be build w/ openal-soft, which is a git submodule of JOAL.
This is the default for our JogAmp build on all platforms.
Cloning [and pulling] JOAL incl. openal-soft can be performed w/ the
option '--recurse-submodules'.
   > cd /home/dude/projects/jogamp/
   > git clone --recurse-submodules git://jogamp.org/srv/scm/joal.git
   > cd joal ; git pull --recurse-submodules
JOAL Build Instructions:
Change into the joal/make directory
   > cd /home/dude/projects/jogamp/make/
To clean:
   > ant clean
To build:
   > ant -Dtarget.sourcelevel=1.8 -Dtarget.targetlevel=1.8 -Dtarget.rt.jar=/your/openjdk8/lib/rt.jar
To build docs:
   > ant -Dtarget.sourcelevel=1.8 -Dtarget.targetlevel=1.8 -Dtarget.rt.jar=/your/openjdk8/lib/rt.jar javadoc
To test:
   > ant -Dtarget.sourcelevel=1.8 -Dtarget.targetlevel=1.8 -Dtarget.rt.jar=/your/openjdk8/lib/rt.jar runtests
Instead of properties, you may also use environment variables, see
GlueGen's HowToBuild https://jogamp.org/gluegen/doc/HowToBuild.html.
