#### Download
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game
+Download IrrlichtMt to `lib/irrlichtmt`, it will be used to satisfy the IrrlichtMt dependency that way:
+
+ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht.git lib/irrlichtmt
+
Download source, without using Git:
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/master.tar.gz
mv minetest_game-master minetest_game
cd ..
+Download IrrlichtMt, without using Git:
+
+ cd lib/
+ wget https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/archive/master.tar.gz
+ tar xf master.tar.gz
+ mv irrlicht-master irrlichtmt
+ cd ..
+
#### Build
Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
- You can disable the client build by specifying `-DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE`.
- You can select between Release and Debug build by `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>`.
- Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger.
-- If you build a bare server you don't need to have Irrlicht installed.
- - In that case use `-DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=/the/irrlicht/source`.
+- If you build a bare server you don't need to have the Irrlicht or IrrlichtMt library installed.
+ - In that case use `-DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=/some/where/irrlicht/include`.
+- IrrlichtMt can also be installed somewhere that is not a standard install path.
+ - In that case use `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/install_prefix`
+ - The path must be set so that `$(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH)/lib/cmake/IrrlichtMt` exists
+ or that `$(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH)` is the path of an IrrlichtMt build folder.

After you successfully built vcpkg you can easily install the required libraries:
```powershell
-vcpkg install irrlicht zlib curl[winssl] openal-soft libvorbis libogg sqlite3 freetype luajit gmp jsoncpp --triplet x64-windows
+vcpkg install zlib curl[winssl] openal-soft libvorbis libogg sqlite3 freetype luajit gmp jsoncpp --triplet x64-windows
```
+- **Don't forget about IrrlichtMt.** The easiest way is to clone it to `lib/irrlichtmt` as described in the Linux section.
- `curl` is optional, but required to read the serverlist, `curl[winssl]` is required to use the content store.
- `openal-soft`, `libvorbis` and `libogg` are optional, but required to use sound.
- `freetype` is optional, it allows true-type font rendering.
