Dolphin 5.0 Linux? - Yoshimaster96 - 11-28-2016

When will Dolphin 5.0 be released on Linux? I wanna netplay with someone...


RE: Dolphin 5.0 Linux? - Helios - 11-28-2016

It is. We just no longer distribute binary packages. Distributing for one version of one distro and then being constrained by silly things when that version of that distro doesn't have what we need in repos is silly.

If you're using Ubuntu, you can use this PPA (not managed by the Dolphin team)

https://launchpad.net/~dolphin-emu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=yakkety

(dolphin-emu for 5.0 and dolphin-emu-master for dev releases)

Or you can compile it yourself here, and optionally pick specific revisions you want to compile with git

(note the instructions for checking out 5.0 stable)

Well I'm trying to netplay with someone on Windows who has Dolphin 5.0, but I have Dolphin tarball 5.0. I want straight-up 5.0, no tarball, no git.


RE: Dolphin 5.0 Linux? - JosJuice - 11-28-2016

If you want Dolphin to report the exact name "Dolphin 5.0" after being built, you have to use git, unless you want to make some hacks to the version reporting on your own.

(Alternatively, I think you also will be able to netplay if you make the Windows user compile from the tarball Smile)
EDIT: On second thought, I don't think you can build on Windows at all without git.
