I thought distributing Dolphin via AppImage would make it more similiar to Windows and OSX. I don't feel like installing a new Dolphin version every time I want to try a development version. What if I want to test several versions of Dolphin?
So I wrote this script that compiles Dolphin into an AppImage. You'll still need to install the development libraries as instructed here:
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Building_Dolphin_on_Linux
This contains the libraries needed to run Dolphin under a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 install, I don't really know what libraries other distros require.
However, once compiled on Ubuntu, it should be cross distro compatible. Obviously Ubuntu might ship with libraries that other distros don't ship with.
I compiled an AppImage of version 5.0-129 which works fine on my installation - It should work just fine on other Ubuntu 16.04 installations, but if there are libraries not included in this AppImage that aren't installed on your system either, it will tell you which ones are missing.
Also, it will only work on distros which ship with libraries that are as new or newer than Ubuntu due to glibc.
