Scipts for building Dolphin. | |||
=== General purpose script === | |||
This script checks for Dolphin's source code, downloads it or updates it, then compiles it and finally installs it. It is somewhat interactive and distro-independent.<br> | |||
It '''will not''' install any of the dependencies listed above, and will fail if any of them are missing. Install manually as described at [[#Step 1 - Installing the Dependencies|the first step]].<br> | |||

Instructions: | |||
Put this script in any directory, prefferably a subdirectory of the Home directory, such as <code>~/.scripts/dolphin</code><br> | |||
Within this directory, the script will create two subdirectories, ''dolphin-emu'' and ''build''. It must remain in this directory to work.<br> | |||
Execute the script from anywhere, by running <code>sh /path/to/the/script.sh</code>, where /path/to/the/script.sh is replaced with the actual path to the script.<br> | |||
The script will download Dolphin's source, or update it if it has already been downloaded once. After building it, the script will install it. This requires root privileges. After the installation, the script exits, and Dolphin can be used. Note that the process is very fast and simple after the first time. Using a [http://askubuntu.com/a/17538 bash alias] to execute the script by running a custom command such as <code>dolphin-update</code> is recommended. | |||
