Version number when compiling from source - RickAndTired - 05-26-2020
I am trying to compile version 5.0-11991 for Linux from this link
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/tree/8d4e8314a3dcd8680ae81d91fb7e076b4496b43b
Everything compiles fine and runs fine, but the version number in the about window just shows 5.0 and Revision: 5.0 (no further info)
Is there a way to fix this so I can netplay with someone who has 5.0-11991?

In order for the version number to be included in the binary, you need to download the source code using git clone and then build from the git repository it creates.

That worked, thank you
