I can concur that this also happens on Linux when you try to cross compile cAudio. It would be really nice to see this feature fixed.

Yes, I am getting the same error. I have changed a few things
`static const char* toUTF8(const cAudioString& str)
{
static int id = 0;
static char buffer[8][1024];
id = ++id & 0x7;

    std::wstring widestr(str.begin(),str.end());
    
    int buff_size = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, widestr.c_str(), (int)(str.size() < 1023 ? str.size() : 1023), buffer[id], 1023, 0, false);
    buffer[id][buff_size] = 0;
    buffer[id][1023] = 0;
    return buffer[id];
}

static cAudioString fromUTF8(const char* str)
{
    int str_len = (int)strlen(str);
    int buf_size = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, str, str_len, 0, 0);
    cAudioString s(buf_size, L'\0');
    std::wstring widestr(s.begin(),s.end());
    MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, str, str_len, &widestr[0], buf_size);
    s = std::string(widestr.begin(),widestr.end());
    return s;
}`

I convert the cAudioString to a std::wstring. I compiles. but the examples crash. I have also a problem that __try and __except aren't defined. I have looked up the except.h file and there aren't __try and __except.

[netpipe]

there is a fork of a 2.3.0 branch that compiles nicely, my only issue was with 64 bit openal sdk dll's was wondering if caudio could incorperate freealut or openal-soft into the sourcecode.

@tecan i tried looking for the fork, and i found it, but it doesn't seem to build with cmake, it says:
Cannot set "CAUDIO_INCLUDE_DIR": current scope has no parent. what steps did you use to build it?
Also the command install_all_targets doesn't exist.
