Need help on OpenAL

[Ehsan Nekooee]

HI people

I know I should not ask this here but I couldn't find appropriate place to ask it.

I am trying to use OpenAL in a super simple hello world sample thing for the first time and but I get an error for almost each line !

I included many OpenAL headers, copied these files almost everywhere in my Hard Disk:
openal32.dll
alut.dll
alut.lib

but still no action!

here is the code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <AL\alut.h>
#include <AL\alc.h>
#include <AL\al.h>
 
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  ALuint helloBuffer, helloSource;
  alutInit (&amp;argc, argv);
  helloBuffer = alutCreateBufferHelloWorld ();
  alGenSources (1, &amp;helloSource);
  alSourcei (helloSource, AL_BUFFER, helloBuffer);
  alSourcePlay (helloSource);
  alutSleep (1);
  alutExit ();
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

And I get these errors :

1>------ Build started: Project: AL, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
1>hello_world.c
1>Linking...
1>hello_world.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__alutExit referenced in function _main

P.S: I use microsoft visual c++ express edition 2008

do you define alut.lib to be used on the linking phase ?

tahnx ZbuffeR for your concern.

Well ... I don't think I have done that so far
How can I do that thing you said?
