9 In case you downloaded the source code:
10 ---------------------------------------
11 If you downloaded the Minetest Engine source code in which this file is
12 contained, you probably want to download the minetest_game project too:
13 https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/
14 See the README.txt in it.
17 ----------------------
18 - Website: http://c55.me/minetest/
19 - Wiki: http://c55.me/minetest/wiki/
20 - Forum: http://c55.me/minetest/forum/
21 - Github: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/
22 - doc/ directory of source distribution
24 This game is not finished
25 --------------------------
26 - Don't expect it to work as well as a finished game will.
27 - Please report any bugs. When doing that, debug.txt is useful.
38 - Settable in the configuration file, see the section below.
42 $bin - Compiled binaries
43 $share - Cistributed read-only data
44 $user - User-created modifiable data
46 Windows .zip / RUN_IN_PLACE source:
53 $share = /usr/share/minetest
59 $user = ~/Library/Application Support/minetest
63 - Worlds can be found as separate folders in:
70 - It is created by Minetest when it is ran the first time.
71 - A specific file can be specified on the command line:
72 --config <path-to-file>
78 Compiling on GNU/Linux:
79 -----------------------
81 Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
82 $ apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev
84 Download source, extract (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times):
85 $ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
86 $ tar xf master.tar.gz
87 $ cd celeron55-minetest-286edd4 (or similar)
89 Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available)
91 $ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
92 $ tar xf master.tar.gz
93 $ mv celeron55-minetest_game-* minetest_game
96 Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
97 $ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
104 - Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
105 - If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
106 - You can build a bare server or a bare client by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 or -DBUILD_SERVER=0
107 - You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>
108 - Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger
110 Compiling on Windows:
111 ---------------------
112 - This section is outdated. In addition to what is described here:
113 - In addition to minetest, you need to download minetest_game.
114 - If you wish to have sound support, you need libogg, libvorbis and libopenal
118 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
119 * MinGW or Visual Studio
120 http://www.mingw.org/
121 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default
123 http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
124 * Zlib headers (zlib125.zip)
125 http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
126 * Zlib library (zlibwapi.lib and zlibwapi.dll from zlib125dll.zip):
127 http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
128 * Optional: gettext bibrary and tools:
129 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/gettext.php
130 - This is used for other UI languages. Feel free to leave it out.
131 * And, of course, Minetest-c55:
132 http://c55.me/minetest/download
134 - Select a directory called DIR hereafter in which you will operate.
135 - Make sure you have CMake and a compiler installed.
136 - Download all the other stuff to DIR and extract them into there.
137 ("extract here", not "extract to packagename/")
138 NOTE: zlib125dll.zip needs to be extracted into zlib125dll
139 - All those packages contain a nice base directory in them, which
140 should end up being the direct subdirectories of DIR.
141 - You will end up with a directory structure like this (+=dir, -=file):
147 - 110214175330.zip (or whatever, this is the minetest source)
170 - Start up the CMake GUI
171 - Select "Browse Source..." and select DIR/minetest
172 - Now, if using MSVC:
173 - Select "Browse Build..." and select DIR/minetest-build
174 - Else if using MinGW:
175 - Select "Browse Build..." and select DIR/minetest
177 - Select your compiler
178 - It will warn about missing stuff, ignore that at this point. (later don't)
179 - Make sure the configuration is as follows
180 (note that the versions may differ for you):
184 CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
185 CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX DIR/minetest-install
186 IRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR DIR/irrlicht-1.7.1
189 ZLIB_DLL DIR/zlib125dll/dll32/zlibwapi.dll
190 ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/zlib-1.2.5
191 ZLIB_LIBRARIES DIR/zlib125dll/dll32/zlibwapi.lib
192 GETTEXT_BIN_DIR DIR/gettext/bin
193 GETTEXT_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/gettext/include
194 GETTEXT_LIBRARIES DIR/gettext/lib/intl.lib
195 GETTEXT_MSGFMT DIR/gettext/bin/msgfmt
198 - Hit "Configure" once again 8)
199 - If something is still coloured red, you have a problem.
202 - Open the generated minetest.sln
203 - The project defaults to the "Debug" configuration. Make very sure to
204 select "Release", unless you want to debug some stuff (it's slower
205 and might not even work at all)
206 - Build the ALL_BUILD project
207 - Build the INSTALL project
208 - You should now have a working game with the executable in
209 DIR/minetest-install/bin/minetest.exe
210 - Additionally you may create a zip package by building the PACKAGE
213 - Using the command line, browse to the build directory and run 'make'
214 (or mingw32-make or whatever it happens to be)
215 - You may need to copy some of the downloaded DLLs into bin/, see what
216 running the produced executable tells you it doesn't have.
217 - You should now have a working game with the executable in
218 DIR/minetest/bin/minetest.exe
220 Windows releases of minetest are built using a bat script like this:
221 --------------------------------------------------------------------
224 set installpath="C:\tmp\minetest_install"
225 set irrlichtpath="C:\tmp\irrlicht-1.7.2"
227 set builddir=%sourcedir%\bvc10
230 cmake %sourcedir% -G "Visual Studio 10" -DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=%irrlichtpath% -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%installpath%
231 if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
232 "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
233 if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
234 "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
235 if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
236 "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" PACKAGE.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
237 if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
