#### 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 the Irrlicht or IrrlichtMt library installed.
- - In that case use `-DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=/some/where/irrlicht/include`.
+- If you build a bare server you don't need to compile IrrlichtMt, just the headers suffice.
+ - In that case use `-DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=/some/where/irrlichtmt/include`.
+
+- Minetest will use the IrrlichtMt package that is found first, given by the following order:
+ 1. Specified `IRRLICHTMT_BUILD_DIR` CMake variable
+ 2. `${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/irrlichtmt` (if existent)
+ 3. Installation of IrrlichtMt in the system-specific library paths
+ 4. For server builds with disabled `BUILD_CLIENT` variable, the headers from `IRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR` will be used.
+ - NOTE: Changing the IrrlichtMt build directory (includes system installs) requires regenerating the CMake cache (`rm CMakeCache.txt`)

-### Compiling on Windows
+### Compiling on Windows using MSVC
### Requirements
It is highly recommended to use vcpkg as package manager.
-#### a) Using vcpkg to install dependencies
-
After you successfully built vcpkg you can easily install the required libraries:
```powershell
-vcpkg install zlib curl[winssl] openal-soft libvorbis libogg sqlite3 freetype luajit gmp jsoncpp --triplet x64-windows
+vcpkg install zlib zstd curl[winssl] openal-soft libvorbis libogg libjpeg-turbo sqlite3 freetype luajit gmp jsoncpp opengl-registry --triplet x64-windows
```
-- **Note that you currently need to build irrlicht on your own**
+- **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.
- `luajit` is optional, it replaces the integrated Lua interpreter with a faster just-in-time interpreter.
- `gmp` and `jsoncpp` are optional, otherwise the bundled versions will be compiled
Use `--triplet` to specify the target triplet, e.g. `x64-windows` or `x86-windows`.
-#### b) Compile the dependencies on your own
-
-This is outdated and not recommended. Follow the instructions on https://dev.minetest.net/Build_Win32_Minetest_including_all_required_libraries#VS2012_Build
-
### Compile Minetest
#### a) Using the vcpkg toolchain and CMake GUI
```
Make sure that the right compiler is selected and the path to the vcpkg toolchain is correct.
-#### c) Using your own compiled libraries
-
-**This is outdated and not recommended**
-
-Follow the instructions on https://dev.minetest.net/Build_Win32_Minetest_including_all_required_libraries#VS2012_Build
-
