Welcome to the FMODGMS wiki!

How to get a game using FMODGMS running on Ubuntu (applies to v.0.9.1 or older)

  1. Open up the Terminal and install OpenAL:

    sudo apt-get install libopenal1

This is required to run any game made with GameMaker:Studio. Currently, there is no way to disable OpenAL in favour of using FMOD Studio just by itself.

  1. Download FMOD Studio Programmer’s API and Low Level Programmer API 1.09 for Linux from the FMOD website. Extract the contents of the tar file to a folder.

  2. If you have a previous version of FMOD Studio installed, remove the old libraries typing into the Terminal:

    cd /usr/local/lib/
    sudo rm libfmod*

  3. Copy the x86 libraries to /usr/local/lib:

    cd /path/to/fmodstudioapi110XXlinux/api/lowlevel/lib/x86
    sudo cp -a libfmod* /usr/local/lib

  4. Add and export the library path:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
    sudo ldconfig

  5. Run the demo to verify that FMODGMS is working with it.
