Hello All!
I am trying to get Diaspora installed on my Debian build. I made the folder and got into the fs2_open folder and ran ./autogen.sh and it goes for a while and errors out with this:
checking for OpenAL... no
*** Could not run OpenAL test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means OpenAL was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved OpenAL since it was installed.
configure: error: *** OpenAL installation not found!
here is what the config file has to say:
configure:6754: checking for OpenAL
configure:6792: gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lopenal >&5
conftest.c:26:10: fatal error: AL/al.h: No such file or directory
#include <AL/al.h>
^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
I looked for the matching packages that this is looking for and this is what synaptic says I have.

What package do I need to install to make this work?
I have already checked the threads, and I guess I havn't seen any other Linux OpenAL problems.
I tried this from another thread and it had errors but didn't list anything from OpenAL so I ignored it.
sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev build-essential automake1.10 autoconf libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libreadline6-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libjansson-dev
See attached config.log

install libopenal-dev
but I suggest you to try Diaspora with more current build (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/releases/tag/release_3_8_0) than fs2_open 3.6.13

How do I use the new fs2_open with Diaspora? I will start hunting for a guide, but I didn't know if maybe you had seen one.

installing libopenal-dev got me one step closer and then another error.

Just put build in Diaspora folder and select it in wxlauncher.
