How to build dolphin in Mac OS X.
How To build dolphin on mac osxIn 32 bitYou need :
All of the following steps happen inside Terminal.app. Modify the PATH :If you did not already do this as part of the MacPorts install, add /opt/local/bin to your path: $ export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH Install dependencies using MacPorts:Many of the dependencies needed to build Dolphin can be installed using MacPorts. Note that this will result in a binary that will only run on your system, or will require MacPorts in order to run (so don't go and try to redistribute it). $ sudo port install libao cairo scons wxwidgets glew Get dolphin sources :$ svn checkout http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dolphin-emu-read-only Compile it using scons:$ cd dolphin-emu-read-only $ scons Compile it using Xcode:(tbd) Launch it :Open finder and go to Binary/mac directory and launch Dolphin. Do not launch Dolphin from the Terminal, or else wxWidgets will not work correctly (?!) You can also build the NoGui version, which will not crash when run directly. In 64 bitTo build dolphin in 64bit you need :
Get the source with svn Type : scons osx64=true If your video card not support Ogl > 1.3, you can use software renderer (see cocoaGL.m in video gl plugin) JIT not work in 64bit, and some plugins can't be compiled, use this in dolphin.ini : GFXPlugin = Plugins/libzeroogl.so DSPPlugin = Plugins/libdspnull.so PadPlugin = Plugins/libpadsimple.so WiiMotePlugin = Plugins/libPlugin_Wiimote.so UseDynarec = False |

for mac in ppc? i have a question, is more easy the emulation of gamecube on a mac in powerpc hardware? have the same type of processor, ej: Power G5. that is my ask.
Well, maybe a little bit easier if we started from scratch, but now we have quite fast PowerPC emulation code for x86.
You can't just run the code directly, you have to translate all memory accesses and so on. As a result it may not be all that faster, but of course things like flag calculation would be easier.
When i try to complie it just says it: svn checkout http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/dolphin-emu-read-only -sh: svn: command not found
I cant install the ports. It says that MacPorts? returned error 77 and the c compiler could not create executables. i looked on google for a fix to this but i couldn't find it Could Someone help please?
it compile on a ppc?
Up until the latest revisions Dolphin compiled under OS X. Now it just throws back an error.
g++ -o Binary/mac/Plugins/libpadsimple.so -dynamiclib Source/Plugins/Plugin_PadSimple?/Src/main.os -LSource/Core/Common/Src -LSource/Core/DiscIO/Src -LSource/PluginSpecs? -LSource -LSource/Core/Core/Src -LSource/Core/DebuggerWX/src -LExternals/Bochs_disasm -LSource/Core/VideoCommon?/Src -lcommon Undefined symbols:
ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status scons: [Binary/mac/Plugins/libpadsimple.so] Error 1 scons: building terminated because of errors.All fixed in r479. Thanks.
Also should say that Dolphin cannot be compiled as a PPC app as far as I can see. Tried it and it just gave me gobbledegook.
Annoying!!!!! >< There are WAY too many dependancies. Firstly note that upon first attempt if failed, just insert the command "sudo" just before and you have admin privileges (that got me a bit farther, seeing as how var is always protected. Then libao fails for unknown reasons, cairo is dependent on freetype and scons depends on python source script :S How is the average, or even the mid-range user meant to do this??? HELP!!!!...
And the dolphin sources aren't even available on that server anymore :'(
The dolphin sources are still availlable, the good command to get them is : svn checkout http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dolphin-emu-read-only There is a space caracter needed before 'dolphin-emu-read-only'. I've got the good command from the linux building page.
on the step "$ scons" get error - there's n't this command.
A lot of linking errors:
scons: building associated VariantDir? targets: Build/Darwin-i386 Linking shared Binary/Darwin-i386/Plugins/libPlugin_VideoOGL.dylib Undefined symbols:
...I've installed all the stuffs above. I'm a Macbook Pro user, with 9600M GT. I assume that there's something wrong with that "nvidia cgtoolkit" but I don't know what to do (a newer version is needed or what?), please help. Thanks a lot.
I even tried 'sudo scons' but not help at all, FYI.
To reejinbouk: make sure your "sudo port install xxx..." cmd is executed successfully. Run it again and again if you cannot fetch the src successfully.
Follow-up: I've installed cgtoolkit 2.1 nov2008 and the error still exists. T.T
I think the reason may be that the cgtoolkit is not installed properly, and libCg is not installed, because I cannot find libCg.lib or libCg.dylib in my computer. But /usr/bin/cgc is installed so I really don't know what to do :( Can someone running it on OS X gimme some hint?
Hey superartstudio. If you join the new dolphin forums http://www.dolphin-emu.com/newdesign/news.php there is a thread dedicated to mac osx related problems. for some reason i am not able to register at that site. (not getting activation email=p)
Anyways... I have OSx86(the only difference is a few hexstrings for audio and gfx ability same kernel etc.) installed on my PC and was able to get a revision to compile in mac.
It was a little while before all of the fixed revisions were out.
however, It had a terribly large amount of crashing (I couldn't even select a iso/gcm)
I suggest restarting from scratch with macports. this was where all of my problems were coming from before. look online to learn how to delete it. it involves rm -rf /opt/local directory (don't worry this process is pretty safe as long as your directory is /opt/local/)
Try it out and tell me how it goes (to avoid spamming up this part of the wiki, we should talk by email it is the same one as my gmail username)
Thanks, I've moved to this thread: http://www.dolphin-emu.com/newdesign/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=27&pid=103#post_103
If anybody here has the same problem, let's discuss in that thread. If you're looking for a solution then please also check the above link, hope it can be fixed recently :)
Hi. It seems that every command works for me in the 32 bit installation except for:
It keeps spitting back: "sudo: port: command not found"
I tried looking for the dolphin application on my hard drive, just to see if it would run without this command, but only the folders and other files exist, so.. I don't really know what to do from here. Please help! Thanks!
Hi fudduckz, you need to install macports first, and then set your system path. The detailed instructions are described in the beginning of this page.
BTW, since padsimple is not available in OS X, and I don't have a joystick, is there anyway I can run dolphin? (Sorry post it here but seems the forum is down, got a 404.)
