Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums - Problems with building Dolphin 4.0

I'm running Linux Mint 13 (32-bit), with backported packages.

I've been trying to build the latest (by which I mean, git master branch at the time of this posting) version of Dolphin-emu. I have all the dependencies (except, instead of libreadline-gplv2-dev I have libreadline-dev and libreadline6-dev, but I don't know if this is significant - I can't change it because package conflict)

The cmake step works fine. When I try to run make, it stops at file Source/Core/AudioCommon/CMakeFiles/audiocommon.dir/Src/Mixer.cpp.o and throws an error. The full make output is in the following spoiler:

Please advise.

Outdated gcc maybe? I'm not sure. This was just changed recently, i'll point the author here. He might know more.

GCC version is 4.6.3. The same that's in Ubuntu 12.04.

Looks like 4.7 is needed.

Oh ok, thanks. Looks like I'm building gcc 4.7 now. Might take a while. I'll let you know how it goes...

Ok, I have succesfully built GCC 4.7.3 so that it is installed in an alternate location, and named gcc-4.7 (I didn't want to overwrite the regular gcc version because some software might require it)

Now, I'm not entirely familiar with how cmake functions, how can I ensure that cmake uses gcc-4.7 instead of plain gcc? Is there some config file I can edit or environment variable I can set?

Sorry, i don't know. I don't even use linux :/

No problem, I found the answer with my google-fu. Now let's just hope this works...

edit. ok, seems to be working, it's at least past the point where it used to fail... beyond 50%, fingers crossed...

edit2. hooray, it works now! Thanks for the help!

Ok, now the emulator starts up fine, but when I try to open any romfile, it just produces a black screen/window every time. Not sure what's going on, there didn't seem to be any problems with compiling.

Try installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers, if you're not already using them. The open-source ones (nouveau) may not support all the OpenGL features Dolphin requires, plus they're kinda flaky in general.
