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
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:
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/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>
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 repository.
-- Building has been tested to work flawlessly on many systems.
-
-- 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 libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-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:
- 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 in here.
+ documented anywhere.
- 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.
- Steps:
- Set up some options and paths
- Hit "Configure"
- Hit "Generate"
- - VC: Open the generated .sln and build it
- - MinGW: Browse to the build directory and run 'make'
+ - MSVC: Open the generated .sln and build it
+ MinGW: Browse to the build directory and run 'make'
