Hey everyone, just thought I'd share a little bash script I made to make the agonizing three step process of downloading the revision, configuring, then building dolphin on linux a simple one step process. It's quite simple, as I made it in under 15 minutes with a very limited knowledge of bash.
Rename the script to dolphin-builder.sh after downloading!
Here's how it works:
1. Download Script
2. Open a terminal in the directory that contains the script
3. Run chmod 700 ./dolphin-builder.sh to make the script executable.
4. Run the script!
So why is this useful you ask?
Well, the script checks if you have a revision of dolphin checked out in your home directory, if one exists it will compare that revision to the latest one on-line. If these revisions match, it will let you know and exit the script.
If there is a later version available, it will download the revision and run through the normal build procedure.
If you have never checked out a revision the script will ask you if it can install the dependencies, check out the latest revision, and build it for you.
Hope someone finds it useful! You're also welcome to modify it, just post it in this thread so we can all benefit from it!
Thanks!
