@javadkazemi OpenAL32.lib is not found. Perhaps something in those commands:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/openal-soft.git
cd openal-soft
git checkout 18bb46163af
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -D LIBTYPE:STRING=STATIC -D FORCE_STATIC_VCRT:STRING=ON ..
msbuild OpenAL32.vcxproj /property:Configuration=Debug
msbuild OpenAL32.vcxproj /property:Configuration=Release
cd ....

failed.

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -D LIBTYPE:STRING=STATIC -D FORCE_STATIC_VCRT:STRING=ON ..

Perhaps this cmake? Because previous failed I think. (edited - space added)

Anyway, you need to build openal successfully.

if " msbuild OpenAL32.vcxproj /property:Configuration=Debug" did not work, try full path address like this " msbuild E:TBuildLibrariesopenal-softbuildOpenAL32.vcxproj /property:Configuration=Debug"
