- Please report any bugs. When doing that, debug.txt is useful.

You can install git for easily keeping your copy up to date.
If you dont want git, read below on how to get the source without git.
This is an example for installing git on Debian/Ubuntu:
-$ sudo apt-get install git-core

Compiling on Windows:
---------------------
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
* Zlib library (zlibwapi.lib and zlibwapi.dll from zlib125dll.zip):
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
+ * SQLite3 headers and library
+ https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
* Optional: gettext library and tools:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/gettext.php
- This is used for other UI languages. Feel free to leave it out.
- Download all the other stuff to DIR and extract them into there.
("extract here", not "extract to packagename/")
NOTE: zlib125dll.zip needs to be extracted into zlib125dll
+ NOTE: You need to extract sqlite3.h & sqlite3ext.h from sqlite3 source
+ and sqlite3.dll & sqlite3.def from sqlite3 precompiled binaries
+ into "sqlite3" directory, and generate sqlite3.lib using command
+ "LIB /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib"
- All those packages contain a nice base directory in them, which
should end up being the direct subdirectories of DIR.
- You will end up with a directory structure like this (+=dir, -=file):
+ DIR
- zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
- zlib125dll.zip
- - irrlicht-1.7.1.zip
+ - irrlicht-1.8.3.zip
+ - sqlite-amalgamation-3130000.zip (SQLite3 headers)
+ - sqlite-dll-win32-x86-3130000.zip (SQLite3 library for 32bit system)
- 110214175330.zip (or whatever, this is the minetest source)
+ zlib-1.2.5
- zlib.h
- readme.txt

-----------------
+ - If CMake complains it couldn't find SQLITE3, choose "Advanced" box on the
+ right top corner, then specify the location of SQLITE3_INCLUDE_DIR and
+ SQLITE3_LIBRARY manually.
+ - If you want to build 64-bit minetest, you will need to build 64-bit version
+ of irrlicht engine manually, as only 32-bit pre-built library is provided.
- Hit "Configure"
- Hit "Configure" once again 8)
- If something is still coloured red, you have a problem.
