How to get a game using FMODGMS running on Ubuntu (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.

2) 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.

3) 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*

4) Copy the x86 (for 32-bit operating systems) or x86_64 (for 64-bit operating systems) libraries to /usr/local/lib using the Terminal:

for 32-bit OS:
cd /path/to/fmodstudioapi110XXlinux/api/lowlevel/lib/x86
sudo cp -a libfmod* /usr/local/lib
For 64-bit OS:
cd /path/to/fmodstudioapi110XXlinux/api/lowlevel/lib/x86_64
sudo cp -a libfmod* /usr/local/lib

5) Add and export the library path:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
sudo ldconfig

6) Run the game to verify that FMODGMS is working with it.
