* This section is outdated. In addition to what is described here:
* In addition to minetest, you need to download [minetest_game](https://github.com/minetest/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
* 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
GETTEXT_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/gettext/include
GETTEXT_LIBRARIES DIR/gettext/lib/intl.lib
GETTEXT_MSGFMT DIR/gettext/bin/msgfmt

right top corner, then specify the location of SQLITE3_INCLUDE_DIR and
SQLITE3_LIBRARY manually.
