Description

Dolphin wont compile on my Kubuntu 23.04 machine. The compile error I get is :
[100%] Linking CXX executable ../../../Binaries/dolphin-emu
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Gui.so.6.4.2: undefined reference to `qRegisterNormalizedMetaType_QDBusArgument(QByteArray const&)@Qt_6'

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2024: Source/Core/DolphinQt/CMakeFiles/dolphin-emu.dir/all] Error 2

I was able to fix this issue. KDE Plasma depends on QT5 currently and cmake was trying to use QT5 even though QT6 was installed. I installed QT6.5.1 from the QT website and added 2 environment variables to my bashrc file.

  1. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/Qt/6.5.1/gcc_64/lib/
  2. export PATH=/home/username/Qt/6.5.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake:$PATH

With these variables pointing to my custom QT6 install I was able to successfully compile, install and run dolphin.

No it is not. I have also switched to fedora as my main distro so i guess you can close this issue. Thanks.
