Download source (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times) using Git:
- git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
- cd minetest
+ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dragonfireclient/dragonfireclient
+ cd dragonfireclient
Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Development Test" game is available) using Git:
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
+ git clone --branch 1.9.0mt7 --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht.git lib/irrlichtmt
Download source, without using Git:
- 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`.
-- 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.
+- 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`)

After you successfully built vcpkg you can easily install the required libraries:
```powershell
-vcpkg install zlib zstd 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
```
- **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
Open the generated project file with Visual Studio. Right-click **Package** and choose **Generate**.
It may take some minutes to generate the installer.
