Wwise SDK 2023.1.8

This page contains information that is specific to using the Wwise SDK for the Linux platform.
Dependencies for building on Linux
To build the SDK samples on Linux, you will need several tools and libraries:
- clang
- pthreads
- libc++
- libdl
- librt
- libsdl2 (for IntegrationDemo)
- make
In addition to the above, rebuilding the Wwise sound engine libraries requires two extra libraries:
- libasound2
- libpulse
On a Debian-based distribution, such as Ubuntu, those packages can be installed by running the following terminal command:
 | Note: The pre-built libraries that come with the Wwise SDK are built using clang and libc++. Refer to Linux Release Notes for the specific version of clang and libc++ used. |
When using wp.py to build plug-ins on Linux, you can use either python or python3. Make sure to install the required packages as described in wp.py First-time Setup.
Building SDK samples and source code
Generic makefiles are provided; some environment variables must be defined to build for a given target. Here are the settings to use for various targets:
- Linux_x64 (Intel x86 64-bits)
AK_LINUX_ARCH=x64
- Linux_aarch64 (Raspberry Pi)
AK_LINUX_ARCH=aarch64
Additionally, the config environment variable can be set to debug, profile, or release to select the corresponding build configuration; if not specified, the debug configuration will be used.
| Note: When using wp.py for building plug-ins on Linux, the configuration can be specified using the -c argument instead. |
