Continued Thread: Gentoo Linux 64-bit

[n00ris]

Old thread:

http://www.dolphin-emu.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1102&highlight=gentoo&pid=5775#post_5775

I have a little gift for gentoo users:
I write a "virtual/dolphin-emu/dolphin-emu-9999.ebuild (I just see that I cannot attach it, hence see below):

ATTENTION: I call it virtual because IT DON'T INSTALL dolphin-emu, but all necessary dependencies to compile the svn. ( Hence I saved it as a virtual/... in my portage overlay)

BUT: This ebuild is work in progress: see comments in the ebuild.
I added some useflags, some of them works, some not, and what they do you can see if you have a look at the ebuild.
I had to at some symlinks for my gentoo (amd64), otherwise scons did not find the libs. ( see comments in the ebuild)

If somebody can answer my questions in the ebuild, please post it here. I edit the ebuild then.

And I have to say that I could build the svn today, but if I want to test it with a hombrew demo (http://www.wii-homebrew.com/downloads/demo/mandelbrot.html) , it crashes ( I will post a own thread for this, I believe it has nothing to do with this ebuild. Should it work if I load the boot.dol or I'm wrong? )

Just copy the following to a file virtual/dolphin-emu/dolphin-emu-9999.ebuild in your portage overlay:

I got a lots of problems building on Gentoo 64bit. Here are the most important things I learned:

1. If you update your libraries through portage you must run scons --config=force
2. If you get strange build errors suggesting you have syntax error somewhere try scons --config=force gltest=0
3. If you get Can't init video, core etc. Then delete ./User/Config/Dolphin.ini.

With new svn the libs were found.

If you have troubles building from source, there are 64bit linux builds available at:

Code:

http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~elylevy/dolphin/x86_64/

I've found that portaudio must be installed, as well as libbluetooth for these builds to start up.

Happy gaming

I'm resurrecting this old thread to ask something. Has anyone ever being able to connect the wiimote with dolphin on Gentoo AMD64?

For me it disconnects as soon as it is found by the wiiuse library.
I get the same results trying to connect with hcitool, the connection is lost as soon as it is connected.

hi !
resurrection again !

I have make an ebuild for installing dolphin, with a .dolphin in the users home like for pcsx2.
But i've some trouble with the nvidia-cg-toolkit installed in /opt/nvidia-cg-toolkit/
my env seems to be ok.
/opt/nvidia-cg-toolkit/lib appear in /etc/ld.so.cache
cgc is executable also.
but scons won't find CG until I link the lib from /opt/nvidia-cg-toolkit/lib/ to /usr/lib/

If one of you got an idea...

(for johanbcn, the wiimote plugins doesn't seem to work here i'll try later...)

As I wrote above, I had to do it similar. There was a discussion about this in the gentoo bugzilla:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255867
and
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261481

@johanbcn: I did not try this for a long time, but I remember that the wiimote does work. Does this happen with other bluetooth devices, too?

Dolphin OpenGL don't display anything or crash:

I'm running it on Sabayon, but it is very simular to Gentoo.
