Running a build with CMake is relatively straightforward.

1) Create your build directory:

mkdir ~/Downloads/Doomsday-2.1.1/build

and chdir to it.

2) Configure the build:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../doomsday

Note what gets printed by CMake here. It will list what gets built and whether there are any missing dependencies. For example, FMOD is optional, so it will say FMOD not found and the build will be done without the FMOD plugin.

3) Build and install:

make -jX install

(replace the X with the number of CPU cores you have, e.g., "-j8")

The install step should place the files in "~/Downloads/Doomsday-2.1.1/distrib/products".

Let me know if you have further questions, I'm happy to help.

Your post gives more exact information than the Wiki. For that I thank you.
