Building SVN dolphin

zephyrsurfer · 09-14-2016, 02:03 PM #1

I was wondering if someone could help me build old SVN dolphin from when Visual Studio 2010 was used way back when.

I'm trying to fix something in Dolphin but it may be a compiler bug, since Dolphin builds moved to Visual Studio 2010 SP1. (That's a guess)

Anyway I followed the build guide by using wayback machine but I can't seem to build it.

I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Why are you trying to build an old version?

Looks like something's going wrong in Version.cpp or svnrev.h because you don't actually have a proper SVN setup. If you want a quick and dirty solution, replace all instances of SVN_REV_STR in Source/Core/Common/Src/Version.cpp with an arbitrary string. For instance, you can replace "Dolphin r" SVN_REV_STR with "Dolphin r" "1234" (or simply "Dolphin r1234").

Surely #DEFINE SVN_REV_STR "9001" would be faster?

I wasn't sure if it was defined already and wasn't sure if there can be problems when defining an already defined macro. Apart from that, yes, it would be simpler.
