This is a development version:
------------------------------
- Please report any bugs to me. That way I can fix them to the next release.
- debug.txt is useful when the game crashes.
-Public servers:
----------------
- kray.dy.fi :30000 (friend's server)
- celeron.55.lt :30000 (my own server)
-
Controls:
---------
- See the in-game pause menu
+- Settable in the configuration file, see the section below.
Map directory:
--------------
- Map is stored in a directory, which can be removed to generate a new map.
- There is a command-line option for it: --map-dir
-- As default, it is located in:
+- For a RUN_IN_PLACE build, it is located in:
../map
- Otherwise something like this:
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\minetest\map
- Path to file can be passed as a parameter to the executable:
--config <path-to-file>
- Defaults:
- - If built with -DRUN_IN_PLACE:
+ - If built with -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1:
../minetest.conf
../../minetest.conf
- Otherwise something like this:

Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
-$ apt-get install libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev
+$ apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
Download source, extract (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times):
$ wget https://bitbucket.org/celeron55/minetest/get/tip.tar.gz
- Note that the Debug build is considerably slower
Compiling on Windows:
-- NOTE: Seems that the CMake build system produces executables that don't work
- for many people. The old build system is still included, but it's not
- documented anywhere.
-- You need CMake, Irrlicht, Zlib and Visual Studio or MinGW
- - you can get zlibwapi.lib from a file called zlib125dll.zip
-- NOTE: Probably it will not work easily and you will need to fix some stuff.
+---------------------
+
+- You need:
+ * CMake:
+ http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
+ * MinGW or Visual Studio
+ http://www.mingw.org/
+ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default
+ * Irrlicht SDK 1.7:
+ http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
+ * Zlib headers (zlib125.zip)
+ http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
+ * Zlib library (zlibwapi.lib and zlibwapi.dll from zlib125dll.zip):
+ http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
+ * And, of course, Minetest-c55:
+ http://celeron.55.lt/~celeron55/minetest/download
- Steps:
+ - Select a directory called DIR hereafter in which you will operate.
+ - Make sure you have CMake and a compiler installed.
+ - Download all the other stuff to DIR and extract them into there. 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
+ - 110214175330.zip (or whatever, this is the minetest source)
+ + zlib-1.2.5
+ - zlib.h
+ + win32
+ ...
+ + zlib125dll
+ - readme.txt
+ + dll32
+ ...
+ + irrlicht-1.7.1
+ + lib
+ + include
+ ...
+ + minetest
+ + src
+ + doc
+ - CMakeLists.txt
+ ...
+ -----------------
- Start up the CMake GUI
+ - Select "Browse Source..." and select DIR/minetest
+ - Now, if using MSVC:
+ - Select "Browse Build..." and select DIR/minetest-build
+ - Else if using MinGW:
+ - Select "Browse Build..." and select DIR/minetest
+ - Select "Configure"
- Select your compiler
- - Hit "Configure"
- - Set up some options and paths
+ - It will warn about missing stuff, ignore that at this point. (later don't)
+ - Make sure the configuration is as follows
+ (note that the versions may differ for you):
+ -----------------
+ BUILD_CLIENT [X]
+ BUILD_SERVER [ ]
+ CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
+ CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX DIR/minetest-install
+ IRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR DIR/irrlicht-1.7.1
+ RUN_IN_PLACE [X]
+ WARN_ALL [ ]
+ ZLIB_DLL DIR/zlib125dll/dll32/zlibwapi.dll
+ ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/zlib-1.2.5
+ ZLIB_LIBRARIES DIR/zlib125dll/dll32/zlibwapi.lib
+ -----------------
- Hit "Configure"
- Hit "Generate"
- - MSVC: Open the generated .sln and build it
- MinGW: Browse to the build directory and run 'make'
+ If using MSVC:
+ - Open the generated minetest.sln
+ - The project defaults to the "Debug" configuration. Make very sure to
+ select "Release", unless you want to debug some stuff (it's slower)
+ - Build the ALL_BUILD project
+ - Build the INSTALL project
+ - You should now have a working game with the executable in
+ DIR/minetest-install/bin/minetest.exe
+ - Additionally you may create a zip package by building the PACKAGE
+ project.
+ If using MinGW:
+ - Using the command line, browse to the build directory and run 'make'
+ (or mingw32-make or whatever it happens to be)
+ - You should now have a working game with the executable in
+ DIR/minetest/bin/minetest.exe
