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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve successfully built the latest Dolphin<\/a> with these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, make sure that you have Xcode installed (free download from the AppStore)<\/a> and have Xcode command line tools installed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xcode-select --install<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Make sure to issue the following command, otherwise ibtool<\/strong> will likely fail during build:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo xcode-select -s \/Applications\/Xcode.app\/Contents\/Developer<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now we need to install Homebrew<\/strong> – click here to visit the official site<\/a> and follow the steps to install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once homebrew is installed, we need to install CMake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
brew install cmake<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, we need to download the Qt library<\/strong> – visit the official website, choose Open Source and download the online installer (or click here).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mount the .dmg and double click on the installer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked, first press ‘Deselect all’ from the list, then click on the currently available highest version (as of writing, it is 5.12.1<\/strong>) and select macos<\/strong>, then click next and begin installing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternatively, you can install it via <\/em>brew, <\/em><\/strong>but that somehow didn’t work for me. For anyone going that route, make sure to invoke <\/em>cmake<\/em><\/strong> with the following additional flag, like so:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix qt5)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
After Qt is installed we need to download Ninja to build Dolphin – we’ll be using brew<\/strong> to do that, like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
brew install ninja<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Finally, let’s follow the official Dolphin instructions. First, let’s checkout the latest Dolphin code to our home directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
git clone https:\/\/github.com\/dolphin-emu\/dolphin ~\/dolphin-emu
cd ~\/dolphin-emu
<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, we prepare the build directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mkdir -p build
cd build
<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now we preconfigure the build process with cmake<\/strong> and use Ninja to build Dolphin. Please note that I’m using version 5.12.1\u00a0of\u00a0Qt<\/strong> and yours may very well be different, be sure to issue the following command accordingly! Double-check your installed Qt version by navigating to the Qt install folder (by default it should be within your Home dir, ~\/Qt\/<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~\/Qt\/5.12.1\/clang_64\/ -G Ninja -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=\"-Xclang -fcolor-diagnostics\"
<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once that finishes the final step is to build Dolphin with Ninja, simply issue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ninja<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
When that finishes you should find a complete Dolphin bundle within the Binaries<\/strong> folder (~\/dolphin-emu\/build\/Binaries)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Updating the build should be easy, according to the official build instructions.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
