Trying to figure out how to compile Dolphin on my own and I'm pretty confused.
I've been looking at this guide (
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/wiki/Building-for-Windows)
Not sure what I'm supposed to download for git but I have the source code on my computer and when I open dolphin-emu.sln I get this:

I see it says something about having to add git to the PATH environmental variables but I don't know what Git I'm supposed to use.
Can someone just make it perfectly clear exactly what I need to download and what I need to change to go from source code to compiled Dolphin?
You need some GIT client to be installed in a way, that allows to run it from the command line. That's equivalent to adding GIT to your PATH environment variable. I hope now it's clear.
And i think Dolphin doesn't like it, if it's downloaded as .zip instead of being downloaded by GIT, but i could be wrong.
Okay so I went and downloaded this:
https://msysgit.github.io/ and it fixed 2 of the errors but I still get this:

If I were to use downloading by GIT, how would I do that? I'm trying to experiment with one of the files so I would need to be able to modify a file and still build it instead of just building what the source has. That's why I thought it would be better if I downloaded the zip so I could modify then build.
What should I do?

If you're using the command-line interface for git, navigate to the directory where you want to place Dolphin, then run:
git clone
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git
Hmm.. I'm still getting this QTDIR error.. what do I do about that?

You can also get something like TortoiseGIT, which integrates GIT into your Windows Explorer. It's nice for updating Dolphin, check what changes you made to the source etc.

That's for the QT build. You can ignore this for now.

Well after I press build where does the compiled dolphin go?
Anyone know where it goes after it compiles?

To fix the QTDIR error, you probably have to do a submodule update:
Code:
git submodule update --init -- "Externals/Qt"
