I'm looking for the instructions on how to install FMOD.

I want to do extra credit for my computer graphics assignment - sound effects. A teammate wants me to go with something simple, and he suggested that I use FMOD Ex. (If you guys can think of something better, do suggest it, but so far FMOD looks more promising compared to SDL, OpenAL, etc.)

Right now I'm having a really hard time finding the instructions for installing the latest version of FMOD (audio content creation tool) on Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32-bit) so that I can use it in g++ with OpenGL. I checked out this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avGxNkiAS9g, but it's for Windows. Then, there is a Ubuntu Forums thread which redirected me to this page: https://wiki.debian.org/FMOD, and it has some dated instructions. I've downloaded FMOD Ex v. 4.44.24, which I believe is the latest version. Now I'm looking at eight files:

libfmodex.so;
libfmodex64.so;
libfmodex64-4.44.24.so;
libfmodex-4.44.24.so;

libfmodexL.so;
libfmodexL64.so;
libfmodexL64-4.44.24.so;
libfmodexL-4.44.24.so

... not knowing what to do. I've looked everywhere I could think of: StackOverflow, here, YouTube, Google, ... and came up with zilch.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

A thank you to Nikos C. on StackOverflow and to chaskes on Ubuntu Forums.

I guess that all I really had to do was to type in the following in the terminal:

cd /usr/local/include/

sudo mkdir fmodex

sudo cp ~/fmodapi44424linux/api/lib/* /usr/local/lib/

sudo cp ~/fmodapi44424linux/api/inc/* /usr/local/include/fmodex
