I want to increase my linux skill, and I also want to get dolphin up and running on linux, and recently I have installed fedora because why not, and I found out on the dolphin wiki that I need to compile this program from source to get it working on fedora, so now I ask, how, I want to expand my knowledge basis and this is a good start, I have also installed all the dependenceys that they asked me to install so now what?
Thanks,

You are almost there.
Keep reading the wiki. You need to continue on to the other distro section and follow the directions.
okay, thanks, I just want to expand my skill, which I haven't done in a while.
Maximum rpm is a much better guide in my opinion because I think it's a little easier to get through and it gives you a better understanding of the full power of RPM.

That guide will not necessarily work. Dolphin uses cmake. So there are a few extra steps to turn dolphin into an rpm.
And BTW. You can use opensuse's on click install software center to find fedora repos that contain a prebuilt package of what ever you need.
So for instance, if I google dolphin opensuse, I find this page.
https://software.opensuse.org/package/dolphin-emu
If you look through the repos, there is one named kenzy for fedora 23. If you add the repo and then search for dolphin using dnf, then you should be able to find the package and install.

I love Fedora 23 it's definitely an OS for me. Also glad I found this since I think I'll be compiling things soon as well.
cool thanks, but I want to learn the hard way on how to compile a package from source, not just add on a repo
Oh yeah. I am just adding that for future reference.
