Those are the instructions I followed, installed that PPA and the listed dependencies. Still doesn't work. I think I might have figured out what the cause is, but I'm not sure how to resolve it:
Code:
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4
$ gcc-4.9 --version
gcc-4.9 (Ubuntu 4.9.2-0ubuntu1~14.04) 4.9.2
Just calling gcc invokes 14.04's default 4.8.4 , which is probably what the build scripts are doing. So I guess I probably need to get them to specifically call gcc-4.9 instead. Any idea how to go about doing that?
oy, I run dolphin in wine and it works just great
Thanks so much helios747, got it working now... because when running those instructions I found out that while I did have gcc-4.9, I was still missing g++-4.9 all along, so, uh, whoopsie. Not sure if I actually did need that extra step or not after all, but did it anyway just to make sure. Whatever, got it up and running!

My apologies NKF. Due to my ignorance I was not aware that Dolphin ran well in Wine. Degasus told me that with OpenGL and null audio it works very well.

Is there a way I can make 100% sure I'm running the absolute latest build from Github? I'm pretty sure I am, but I want to make completely sure. Thanks for the help!
That number version is not hardcoded in the binary and neither in the package (there's no .git directory in launchpad repo to it pick the right number; otherwise I'd had to change that every time I build a new package, so no way...), but you can realize that there's a strange number after the 4.0 number in the package (like 4.0+git+r36~14), the r36 is the
bazaar commit, which indicates it's based in the git commit #1120132 (or 4.0-6896, from the download page). I'm trying to update it weekly.
You can have an idea too from the About window, it'll show the date it was compiled, after the "Compiled" string.

Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config g++
If that doesn't let you switch, refer to this post

Change the GCC version as necessary.
You don't really need to change the alternatives, just do this in the cmake step:
Code:
CC=gcc-4.9 CXX=g++-4.9 cmake ..
