#DOLPHIN MAC EMULATOR INSTALL#

Now we preconfigure the build process with cmake and use Ninja to build Dolphin. Next, we prepare the build directory: mkdir -p build First, letвЂ™s checkout the latest Dolphin code to our home directory: git clone ~/dolphin-emu

#DOLPHIN MAC EMULATOR INSTALL#

For anyone going that route, make sure to invoke cmake with the following additional flag, like so: -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew -prefix qt5)ДЄfter Qt is installed we need to download Ninja to build Dolphin вЂ“ weвЂ™ll be using brew to do that, like so: brew install ninjaДЇinally, letвЂ™s follow the official Dolphin instructions. When asked, first press вЂDeselect allвЂ™ from the list, then click on the currently available highest version (as of writing, it is 5.12.1) and select macos, then click next and begin installing.ДЄlternatively, you can install it via brew, but that somehow didnвЂ™t work for me. Next, we need to download the Qt library вЂ“ visit the official website, choose Open Source and download the online installer (or click here). Once homebrew is installed, we need to install CMake: brew install cmake

Now we need to install Homebrew вЂ“ click here to visit the official site and follow the steps to install it. Make sure to issue the following command, otherwise ibtool will likely fail during build: sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer IвЂ™ve successfully built the latest Dolphin with these steps.ДЇirst, make sure that you have Xcode installed (free download from the AppStore) and have Xcode command line tools installed: xcode-select -install There are many ways to do this, but for me none of them worked as most of the time I simply ended up with an app bundle that crashes on start.
