This page is about how to compile Luanti yourself.
−
==Compiling on GNU/Linux==
 
  
−
Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:
+
== Official compilation instructions ==
−
<pre>
 
−
$ 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
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
(If you want to use Minetest on languages other than English, you have to install ''gettext'' package and it's dependencies too.)
+
We strongly recommend you read the [https://github.com/minetest/minetest#compiling Luanti README file]. It covers most of the important platforms.
  
−
Download source, extract (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times):
+
== Unofficial compilation instructions ==
  
−
(''Note'': It is recommended to use [[Git]] to get the source)
+
The community has written several unofficial guides to compile Luanti on unusual or rare platforms. Proceed only if the README was not enough.
−
<pre>
 
−
$ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
 
−
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
 
−
$ cd minetest-minetest-286edd4 (or similar)
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available)
+
'''Tread carefully from this point on.'''
−
<pre>
 
−
$ cd games/
 
−
$ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
 
−
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
 
−
$ mv minetest-minetest_game-* minetest_game
 
−
$ cd ..
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
+
=== GNU/Linux ===
−
<pre>
 
−
$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
 
−
$ make -j2
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
Run it:
+
[http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3837 One-line script for installing/compiling Minetest Git, for Debian / Ubuntu / Mint]
−
<pre>
 
−
$ cd bin
 
−
$ ./minetest
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
* Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
+
=== Windows ===
−
* If you want to place user data in ~/.minetest, install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
+
For compiling Luanti on Windows using MSYS2, see [https://wiki.voxelmanip.se/Compiling_on_Windows_using_MSYS2 Compiling on Windows using MSYS2].
−
* You can build a bare server or a bare client by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 or -DBUILD_SERVER=0
 
−
* If you want to use others languages than English, add -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 as a ''cmake'' parameter.
 
−
* You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>
 
−
:* Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger
 
  
−
===Building without Irrlicht/X dependency===
+
For compiling Luanti on Windows using MSVC, see the [https://github.com/minetest/minetest#compiling-on-windows-using-msvc Luanti README].
−
You can build the Minetest server without library dependencies to Irrlicht or any graphical stuff. You still need the Irrlicht headers for this, so first, download the irrlicht source to somewhere.
 
  
−
When invoking cmake, use <code>-DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=/wherever/you/unzipped/the/source</code>.
+
=== Cross-compilation ===
 +
To compile a win32 version of Luanti in Linux with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW MinGW] you can use the build script in <code>[https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/util/buildbot/buildwin32.sh utils/buildbot/buildwin32.sh]</code>.
  
−
==Compiling on Windows==
+
To compile a win64 version of Luanti in Linux with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW MinGW] you can use the build script in <code>[https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/util/buildbot/buildwin32.sh utils/buildbot/buildwin64.sh]</code>.

If you have errors during cross compilation related to std::thread and std::mutex, this is due to mingw-w64 being incorrectly configured for cross compilation.

- 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):

        - 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.

This page is about how to compile Luanti yourself.

Official compilation instructions

We strongly recommend you read the Luanti README file. It covers most of the important platforms.

Unofficial compilation instructions

The community has written several unofficial guides to compile Luanti on unusual or rare platforms. Proceed only if the README was not enough.

Tread carefully from this point on.

GNU/Linux

One-line script for installing/compiling Minetest Git, for Debian / Ubuntu / Mint

Windows

For compiling Luanti on Windows using MSYS2, see Compiling on Windows using MSYS2.

For compiling Luanti on Windows using MSVC, see the Luanti README.

Cross-compilation

To compile a win32 version of Luanti in Linux with MinGW you can use the build script in utils/buildbot/buildwin32.sh.

To compile a win64 version of Luanti in Linux with MinGW you can use the build script in utils/buildbot/buildwin64.sh.

If you have errors during cross compilation related to std::thread and std::mutex, this is due to mingw-w64 being incorrectly configured for cross compilation.

To fix the errors, use the command:

For 64-bit builds: sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++

For 32-bit Ubuntu Builds: sudo update-alternatives --config i686-w64-mingw32-g++

For 32-bit Debian Builds: sudo update-alternatives --config i586-w64-mingw32-g++

When provided with a prompt for which version to select, please choose "posix". Then retry the buildwin32.sh or buildwin64.sh
