How to build project? OpenAL

[lelandnielsen]

Hi, noob here. Hope I'm posting my very basic question in the right place.

I just jumped into Ubuntu and I'm teaching myself C++. I want to install the OpenAL audio libraries to use in a project. The OpenAL instructions read:


To install OpenAL Soft, use your favorite shell to go into the build/
directory, and run:

cmake ..

Assuming configuration went well, you can then build it, typically using GNU
Make (KDevelop, MSVC, and others are possible depending on your system setup
and CMake configuration).

cmake runs and I get this:

cmake version 2.8.0
Usage

cmake [options] <path-to-source>
cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>

Options
-C <initial-cache> = Pre-load a script to populate the cache.
-D <var>:<type>=<value> = Create a cmake cache entry.
-U <globbing_expr> = Remove matching entries from CMake cache.
-G <generator-name> = Specify a makefile generator.
-Wno-dev = Suppress developer warnings.
-Wdev = Enable developer warnings.
-E = CMake command mode.
-i = Run in wizard mode.
-L[A][H] = List non-advanced cached variables.
--build <dir> = Build a CMake-generated project binary tree.
-N = View mode only.
-P <file> = Process script mode.
--graphviz=[file] = Generate graphviz of dependencies.
--system-information [file] = Dump information about this system.
--debug-trycompile = Do not delete the try compile directories..
--debug-output = Put cmake in a debug mode.
--trace = Put cmake in trace mode.
--help-command cmd [file] = Print help for a single command and exit.
--help-command-list [file] = List available listfile commands and exit.
--help-commands [file] = Print help for all commands and exit.
--help-compatcommands [file]= Print help for compatibility commands.
--help-module module [file] = Print help for a single module and exit.
--help-module-list [file] = List available modules and exit.
--help-modules [file] = Print help for all modules and exit.
--help-custom-modules [file]= Print help for all custom modules and exit.
--help-policy cmp [file] = Print help for a single policy and exit.
--help-policies [file] = Print help for all policies and exit.
--help-property prop [file] = Print help for a single property and exit.
--help-property-list [file] = List available properties and exit.
--help-properties [file] = Print help for all properties and exit.
--help-variable var [file] = Print help for a single variable and exit.
--help-variable-list [file] = List documented variables and exit.
--help-variables [file] = Print help for all variables and exit.
--copyright [file] = Print the CMake copyright and exit.
--help = Print usage information and exit.
--help-full [file] = Print full help and exit.
--help-html [file] = Print full help in HTML format.
--help-man [file] = Print full help as a UNIX man page and exit.
--version [file] = Show program name/version banner and exit.

Generators

The following generators are available on this platform:
Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles
= Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
KDevelop3 = Generates KDevelop 3 project files.
KDevelop3 - Unix Makefiles = Generates KDevelop 3 project files.


Then I am unable to build. I've done this before with other packages by typing "make".
What am I missing here?

I've been Googling for the last hour and no dice. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
