Hi There,

I’d like to start with the FMOD Programmer’s API on Mac OS X.

Is there a recommended location to place the folder after download? I have admin rights for my machine.

Kind Regards,

Simon.

Usually developers will bring the FMOD header and lib dependencies into their source tree so they are checked into source control with the game code that uses them.
