Dolphin in Ubuntu - Lizardman - 11-14-2016
I followed the instructions to create dolphin in the terminal. It seemed to work, but the version I wanted was 5.0-321 and this one is 5.0. It is also not detecting the wii u adapter for the gamecube controller, so I was wondering if anyone could give step by step directions to get version 5.0-321. If there are terminal steps I need to do I would appreciate the commands to copy/paste.
I am on ubuntu 16.04

It is much better to understand "why" than being told "how". On Ubuntu you will need corresponding -dev packages for all of the libraries dolphin needs. First you need to install the packages build-essential and cmake. Then you create a buildme folder inside the unpacked dolphin source. Change directory to the build me folder and run cmake (an enhanced make) in the directory above. So from inside the buildme folder run:
cmake ..
That will tell you why the build fails and what libraries you need (or look up what you need online). Then after cmake completes successfully you can run make, and it will build the software for you. I believe you can just run the binary directly no need to make install.

You need to check out the correct revision before building to get 5.0-321.

For the reference, 5.0-321 corresponds to git commit be9416c462b1b5f0074d8a3a2b35171f2a154693.
