Dolphin 4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Crypdos]

Hello

I'm trying desperately to install 4.0 on my Ubuntu 64bit 12.04 installation. However it seems that so far only 13.04 is supported. Will there be a 12.04 release soon, or is there any other way to get this working?

You can follow the Linux build instructions to compile Dolphin yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I must admit, I have next to no experience with cmake or building stuff.I'm getting some errors during cmake and am stuck at that point ... hope you can help me out.

According to your terminal output you must install these libs before attempt to compile

openal, portaudio, sdl 2.0, sfml, miniupnp, polarssl and wxwidgets 2.9

Also there's a problem with gettext that used for building the po files

Some of those are actually optional, others are built statically if not found or if a required version is not found. None of them is the cause of the issue. The actual error, as you pointed out, is with gettext, or rather the cmake module for gettext.

My gut reaction is to update cmake. Which version are you using? Mine is 2.8.10, and it runs without issue. Type in "cmake --version" into a terminal to see which version you have.

I've recently compiled 4.0 on Mint 13 (is based on buntu 12.04). If you want to do the same, you'll need to install GCC 4.7, the GCC in 12.04 is too old.

This means you will also have to compile GCC.

Be warned, I did all that, and got Dolphin built, but it still doesn't work (no games launch properly, all just show a black screen)... it might be smart to wait until the first bugfix release.

The OP's errors aren't related to GCC though. In fact, the OP hasn't even begun compiling the code yet :p

Fwiw, the black screen + needing GCC 4.7 is probably some issue with Ubuntu doing things they're not supposed to do. Dolphin 4.0 compiles just fine with 4.5.2 (taking into account the need to add arguments to compile C++0x). On GCC 4.8.1, I have no issues either in compiling or running Dolphin.

I got it working!

I updated GCC and G++ to 4.8.1, then updated cmake to 2.8.11.2 ( fortunately this was actually pretty easy). Cmake then completed with no errors.
Then I tried to make & make install. I got an error at 92% regarding libGL.so, it turns out that this OpenGL lib was wrongly linked. Fixed the link and then it actually installed! Immediately tried running it, and it was working on the first attempt, awesome

Thanks for your help everyone, I think the main problem was the old version of cmake. Maybe this should be added to the Linux instructions (req cmake> 2.8.7?). If anyone has the same problem and needs more specific info, tell me.

I solved the problem on ubuntu 12.04 with cmake 2.8.11.2 but for me it was not easy to update, i download cURL-7.32.0, libarchive-3.1.2 and expat-2.1.0 and curl library, spent a lot of time fixing all the problems

None of the libraries that you downloaded in addition to cmake are even requirements for Dolphin.. :|
Anyway, glad to see your issue resolved as well.
