Compiling Dolphin
First install the build dependencies with apt-get build-dep
.
sudo apt-get build-dep dolphin
If you haven’t already, install git.
sudo apt install git
Download the repo.
git clone https://github.com/KDE/dolphin.git
cd dolphin
Create a build directory, then run cmake
then make
. After it finishes compiling, make the dolphin binary executable.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON
make
chmod +x ./bin/dolphin
You can test if everything went well by running:
./bin/dolphin
If it ran okay you can copy the binary to /usr/local/bin.
sudo cp ./bin/dolphin /usr/local/bin/dolphin
Update: I made a video walkthrough for compiling dolphin.
