      Hello all. I'm a very new user to Linux; I picked it up to build an emulator box out of an old PC. I've gotten to everything else to work but everytime I go to install the Dolphin emulator in RetroPie I get a "cannon build emulator" message at 100%. I've looked through the logs with my limited knowledge and it seems the relevant part is

      [100%] Linking CXX executable ../../../Binaries/dolphin-emu
      Error copying directory from "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/../../../plugins/platforms" to "/home/steve/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/dolphin/build/Binaries/platforms".
      make[2]: *** [Source/Core/DolphinQt/CMakeFiles/dolphin-emu.dir/build.make:2743: Binaries/dolphin-emu] Error 1

      make: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2
      Could not successfully build dolphin - Gamecube/Wii emulator Dolphin (/home/steve/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/dolphin/build/Binaries/dolphin-emu not found).
      /home/steve/RetroPie-Setup

      Any ideas or should I just uninstall this whole thing and go back to windows? lol Thanks all!

        I should note that I'm running the latest Ubuntu and have tried installing Dolphin both before and after running the updates in the retropie setup script on fresh installs each time.

          Can you post the entire install log on pastebin.com ?

              I see the binaries are built, but the post-build step of copying some Qt5 configs fails. Stupid question, but do you have enough free space on the disk / RetroPie-Setup folder ?

                  I'll have to install the 22.04 release, can't reproduce the issue with 20.04 or the current Debian (bookworm).

                    @mitu Is there a way I can roll back Ubuntu? I'm happy to do that to get it working

                          Not going to happen until tomorrow, sorry. I may have some time later in the week.

                            I think this is a Dolphin build issue, can you try again the installation ?

                              @mitu I tried it a couple of times before finally just giving up; uninstalled Linux and retropie and went with windows running Launchbox which started working immediately. Thanks for trying to help just wasn’t for me I suppose.
