How to build a specific Beta version?

[elsanto]

Hi there!

I have build dolphin myself following Building Dolphin on Linux.

This way we can only build "very latest development versions" (git clone https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git dolphin-emu ) or "stable" 5.0 from 2016 (git checkout tags/5.0), but not the so called "Beta" in binary Download section. I mean "monthly" releases like "5.0-14790", "5.0-14344", "5.0-14095", and so on...

I think that those "monthly" Beta releases are not tagged. I'm not a git expert.
Is there any other way to build those specific Beta versions?

Thank you and regards.

I'm not sure how to do it automatically, but you can do it manually at least. Go to the download page and click the version number you want. It will show the commit you want. Put it after git checkout and run it before compiling.

The latest would be

Code:

git checkout 3cc274880f47d340bd508dba91aaf37c48acd367

Thank you very much, Craftyawesome. It works!

I have tried that at first and it didn't worked, but it was my fault: I ran the "git clone" with "--depth=1", to save bandwidth.... 

With a full clone, I can do the checkout for the versión I want and build it.


Regards.
