Create a build subdirectory, and change into it. <br> | |||
<code>mkdir Build && cd Build</code> | |||
Configure the build.<br> | |||
<code>cmake ..</code> | |||
You may also want to change the install prefix by adding "-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/new/path". Note that this path does not need to be absolute. cmake will complete it to its absolute equivalent. The default prefix is "/usr". This means that the executable will be installed as "/usr/bin/dolphin-emu", the plugins will be installed into "/usr/lib/dolphin-emu", and the shared data files will be installed into "/usr/share/dolphin-emu".<br> | |||
