Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Compiling 4.0-6592 from source broke...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]

  1. Tried to compiled 4.0-6592 from source but fails.

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

The last version I compiled works fine; 4.0.6337

Slackware 14.1 x86_64
gcc 4.8.2

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

PLEASE tell me I don't need GCC 4.9 now to compile dolphin?

It was an unforeseen consequence of regex being broken in GCC 4.8; so yes, a version of GCC that has working regex is required.

I too had this problem when attempting to compile on Linux Mint 17.1 64-bit. Installed gcc 4.9 and compiled okay.

I installed the GCC 4.9 PPA specifically referenced on the wiki (ppa:dolphin-emu/gcc-for-dolphin) but still get the same error anyway on Mint 17.1 x64. What am I missing?

When you build dolphin either in a build script or at the command line, you need to export these two paths for 4.9x

export CC=/path/to/bin/gcc
export CXX=/path/to/bin/g++

Then when you run dolphin you need to also export to the correct library path, as example below, I compiled gcc 4.9.2 and placed it in /usr/local;

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib64"

  • Status changed from Won't fix to Fixed

Dolphin's regex code was reverted in 4.0-7876, so GCC 4.8 should be able to compile Dolphin again now.

Though 4.8 won't stay working forever.
