Since the old fmodex API was eliminated, I’ve been developing with the old low-level files that I’ve had on my computer. I just moved everything over to a new linux mint 18.1 system, installed the latest low-level stuff, and get compile errors.

For example, no FMOD\_CAPS.

Rather than ask about compile problems one by one, I’ll just ask the general question. What needs to be changed in my code as a result of this switch?
