This is a fork of the Minetest engine. check Minetest Github to know about it.

Minetest is developed by a number of contributors from all over the world.

An InfiniMiner/Minecraft inspired game.

$bin - Compiled binaries $share - Distributed read-only data $user - User-created modifiable data

Windows .zip / RUN_IN_PLACE source: $bin = bin $share = . $user = .

Linux installed: $bin = /usr/bin $share = /usr/share/minetest $user = ~/.minetest

OS X: $bin = ? $share = ? $user = ~/Library/Application Support/minetest

• Worlds can be found as separate folders in: $user/worlds/

• Default location: $user/minetest.conf
• It is created by Minetest when it is ran the first time.
• A specific file can be specified on the command line: --config

• Use --help

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 libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev libjsoncpp-dev

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: $ apt-get install git-core

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

Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available) using git: $ cd games/ $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git $ cd ..

Download source, without using git: $ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/master.tar.gz $ tar xf master.tar.gz $ cd minetest-master

Download minetest_game, without using git: $ cd games/ $ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/archive/master.tar.gz $ tar xf master.tar.gz $ mv minetest_game-master minetest_game $ cd ..

Build a version that runs directly from the source directory: $ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 $ make -j2

Run it: $ cd 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 build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger
• If you build a bare server, you don't need to have Irrlicht installed. In that case use -DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=/the/irrlicht/source

• This section is outdated. In addition to what is described here:

  • In addition to minetest, you need to download minetest_game.
  • If you wish to have sound support, you need libogg, libvorbis and libopenal

• 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
  • 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.
  • And, of course, Minetest: http://minetest.net/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. ("extract here", not "extract to packagename/") NOTE: zlib125dll.zip needs to be extracted into zlib125dll
  • 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 ...
    • gettext (optional) +bin +include +lib
    • 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
  • 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 GETTEXT_BIN_DIR DIR/gettext/bin GETTEXT_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/gettext/include GETTEXT_LIBRARIES DIR/gettext/lib/intl.lib GETTEXT_MSGFMT DIR/gettext/bin/msgfmt

  • Hit "Configure"
  • Hit "Configure" once again 8)
  • If something is still coloured red, you have a problem.
  • Hit "Generate" 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 and might not even work at all)
    • 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 may need to copy some of the downloaded DLLs into bin/, see what running the produced executable tells you it doesn't have.
    • You should now have a working game with the executable in DIR/minetest/bin/minetest.exe
