ubuntu noob - cmake .. issue

[nudexdragon]

So i'm attempting to install dolphin for use with melee netplay, and i've run into the following issue. I'm pretty nooby at Ubuntu and only use it because I don't want to pay for a new windows key, so please bare with me.

I'm using this guide: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Building_Dolphin_on_Linux#Step_1_-_Install_the_Correct_Dependencies

When i get to the "cmake .." part, I get this:

CMake Error: The source directory "/home" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.


Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

and also the last step in step 2

okay my bad. I did that, then got this error:

no suitable display platform found

requires x11 to run

any advance on that? I'll delete this if i find a solution online in the meantime.

okay so update: i used this

http://askubuntu.com/questions/665863/problem-installing-dolphin-emulator

guide to get dolphin to work, but it's on a version that's 5.0 something. For melee netplay, i need version 4.0-7480. How can i get that version instead? This guide:

https://www.smashladder.com/blogs/view/264n/2015-09-28/dolphin-build-7840-for-linux

isn't working for me, because I don't think it's installed in the same directories.

Okay so apparently this doesn't work at all, and I need to install 4.0-7840 seperately. Using the above link, (smashladder) I tried to install this version, and it gave me the same error as my above post, with the requiring x11 to run.
