Minetest-c55
---------------
An InfiniMiner/Minecraft inspired game.
Copyright (c) 2010-2011 Perttu Ahola <celeron55@gmail.com>
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.
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 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/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=1:
../minetest.conf
../../minetest.conf
- Otherwise something like this:
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\minetest\minetest.conf
Linux: ~/.minetest/minetest.conf
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minetest.conf
Command-line options:
---------------------
- Use --help
Compiling on GNU/Linux:
-----------------------
Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
$ apt-get install 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
$ tar xf tip.tar.gz
$ cd minetest
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 or Release>
- Note that the Debug build is considerably slower
Compiling on Windows:
---------------------
- 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
- 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"
If using MSVC:
- Open the generated minetest.sln
- The project defaults to the "Debug" configuration. Make very sure to
select "Release", unless you like to have a very glitchy gaming
experience.
- 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'
- You should now have a working game with the executable in
DIR/minetest/bin/minetest.exe
