Dolphin refusing to build (Ubuntu 16.04) - KatIsntGood - 08-21-2018
Whenever I try to build Dolphin, it just fails at Image.cpp.

this is what it says about it. I have no trouble at any other step and I've followed all of the requirements in the build instructions like getting dependencies and making sure to use the proper versions of gcc and g++. I would use the ppa for Dolphin, but it hasn't updated in months because it fails to auto build on ubuntu 16.04. I can't upgrade to 18.04 because KDE Neon hasn't been updated

The problem is probably that your version of libpng is older than 1.6. The requirement was increased very recently.

I installed the latest version but it hasn't made a difference

What version is that?
Remember debian (and ubuntu) name packages a bit weirdly at times - it's the 'libpng16-dev' package you want.

That was it, thank you!
