This is a development version:
+------------------------------
- Don't expect it to work as well as a finished game will.
- 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 na command-line option for it: --map-dir
-- As default, it is located in:
+- There is a command-line option for it: --map-dir
+- 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
Linux: ~/.minetest/map
- OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/map
+ OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minetest/map
Configuration file:
+-------------------
- An optional configuration file can be used. See minetest.conf.example.
- 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:
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minetest.conf
Command-line options:
+---------------------
- Use --help
Compiling on GNU/Linux:
+-----------------------
-- You need:
- * CMake
- * Irrlicht
- * Zlib
- - You can probably find these in your distro's package manager
-
-- Check possible options:
- $ cd whatever/minetest
- $ cmake . -LH
-
-- A system-wide install:
- $ cd whatever/minetest
- $ cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
- $ make -j2
- $ sudo make install
-
- $ minetest
+Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
+$ apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
-- Install to home directory:
- $ cd whatever/minetest
- $ cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/minetest_install
- $ make -j2
- $ make install
+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
+$ tar xf tip.tar.gz
+$ cd minetest
- $ ~/minetest_install/bin/minetest
+Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
+$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
+$ make -j2
-- For running in the source directory:
- $ cd whatever/minetest
- $ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE
- $ make -j2
+Run it:
+$ cd bin
+$ ./minetest
- $ ./bin/minetest
+- Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
+- If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
+- You can build a bare server or a bare client by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 or -DBUILD_SERVER=0
+- You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>
+ - Note that the Debug build is considerably slower
Compiling on Windows:
-- You need CMake, Irrlicht, zlib and Visual Studio or MinGW
-- 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"
- - VC: 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
