Compiling Minetest on Windows

[bgsmithjr]

I think you are lying trying to make me look bad, buddy.

[Utilisatrice]

You compile the latest version ?

EDIT : No, you help me the first time, and has run, I thank again.

[bgsmithjr]

zlibdllwapi.dll and .lib must be in folder zlib125dll

[bgsmithjr]

Pulled it five minutes ago.

[Utilisatrice]

I take the newest version and i said if it works.

[bgsmithjr]

It does work. I just used it and compiled. It must be user-error and you will not provide me with enough information, I am telling you for the second time. If you do not provide enough information I will no longer respond to your posts.

[Utilisatrice]

It's simple when I take the source to compile, I get this error message on content_cao.cpp :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

Sorry if this french.

Can you help me please ?

[bgsmithjr]

delete minetest.sln, regenerate using c-make, open the project in visual studio, then tell me when you have visual studio open. nevermind dont' do that, it looks like you are not using openal,
symbole externe non résolu __imp__alBufferData
resolu means resolution alBufferData, would be for OpenAL framebuffer.
[url]magic.minetest.net/openAL.zip[/url]
These are the openal files you should use.

[Utilisatrice]

I have open Visual Studio.

I am sorry you can close, you have to delete cache on cmake and change your openAL files.

[Utilisatrice]

Sorry, I have put the lib Win64...

Its worked since the beginning.

Thank Bgsmithjr.

[bgsmithjr]

Your welcome.

[Neuromancer]

I followed the instructions given in the first post. I had to install the openAl SDK and use that folder, but other than that it was pretty straightforward. When I build, I got the following error:

4>..\..\minetest\src\camera.cpp(252) : error C2065: 'M_PI' : undeclared identifier error

To fix it I put
#define _USE_MATH_DEFINES
#include "math.h"
at the top of each of the following 4 files
camera.cpp
\minetest\src\content_cao.cpp(942)
\minetest\src\clientmap.cpp(49)
\minetest\src\server.cpp(679)

and commented out cmath line in camera.

I believe this is due to a bug in VS2008.

[Neuromancer]

here are replacements for libogg, libvorbis, and libvorbisfile dlls
http://www.filedropper.com/minetest

I'm getting the dreaded "GitHub\libvorbisfile.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2B8" also.

These files that were used to resolve the issue are no longer available. Can anyone tell me how to get past this?

Thanks

[cornernote]

Darkrose has done some important changes that fix a limit in the number of items you can have
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/issues/144

Is there any chance you can compile this:
https://github.com/darkrose/minetest

That would be awesome!

[Topywo]

Looking for the Windows packages?

Compiling it yourself

https://github.com/celeron55/minetest

Scroll down until halfway the readme.txt and follow the instructions under: Compiling on Windows:
(Seems to be pretty hard), for Linux compiling yourself is far more easier.

Edit: typo

[4aiman]

I know there's pletty much info about compiling under win, but still...
Could anyone (who allready succeed in doing so) post the result of "dir" command, ran from project's dir.
I tried to setup my "workspace" to compile minetest under win, but here and there are errors, cause compiler couldn't find some libs or files.

I read github info as well as info posted here, but it makes no sence to me. First it tells to unzip librares then it says I shouldn't and then, again, list dlls unzipped in folders. I had never ever compile anything under win using c or c++ compilers, so, please, be nice to me ;)

[DelkoDuck]

The openAL site has been down all week, so I unchecked it in Cmake. But when I try and compile in Visual Studio it says like 5 successful 1 failed and I dont get a .exe. I'm assuming its because openAL is missing?

You need to uncheck souns support also.

Those, who DID build windows binary, would you so kind to share your project along with all the sources?

[4aiman]

Sorry for the russian language in this log, but I'm getting this error and do not know haw to get rid of it.

I tried to figure it out by "googling" and by asking xyz but at this point I can't find anything via search and xyz seems to grew tired of my questions and just has no time to help me. He just says that he never ever got this type of messages.

I'm NO C++ or just "C" coder. I do not understand why I need to search in QT forum for errors occurring while building some application if I didn't saw any of QT signs while configuring with CMake. Please, be patient, 'cause if some "pro" coder of C++ knows smth, it doesn't mean that everyone else do.

I really need someone's help to finaly build minetest under win 32. I could post any info necessary: screens, logs, project files - anything just to make this game under win.

[rarkenin]

I may have a Windows build almost ready, but when I build Irrlicht is slow as hell with the official Irrlicht library and pretty much every video render engine offered. I've disabled everything regarding debugging, and turned on first default optimizations(placing or punching nodes takes a second and goes really slow), or full optimizations, which as still unacceptable slow and laggy in terms of video.

[Inocudom]

For anybody that wishes to know this, it should be possible to make 64-bit builds of Minetest. The three places on the internet below have useful information (if you use MSVC Express 2010.)

I've compiled windows x64 version of latest minetest, who needs here is download link
http://yadi.sk/d/nKbNZoz22v282
(inlude curl,sound,etc but doesn't include gettext&freetype support)

It works pretty good and even has DirectX support, though it seems odd that maps, caches, and config files are placed in the AppData folder. Could you make another build like this one, but of the most recent git version of Minetest? Features like jungles, dungeons, improved finite liquids, and improved lighting speeds have been added to the git version of Minetest as of late.

Yea, textures and settings are stored in AppData in this build, i will try to find where this path stored in sources and change it
Latest build updated today:

[Inocudom]

Thank you for the new build, Fess. With Minetest needing more RAM these days, 64-bit Windows computers will be more in need of 64-bit builds of Minetest. It is wonderful that you are able to include Direct X support, as OpenGL is rather hard on my computer.

I hope someday Direct X will be supported better by Minetest. This will make the game easier for Windows computers.

[rarkenin]

Does anyone know how to get the buildbot to work with LuaJIT? I get an error about how LuaJIT gets compiled without jobserver mode, which causes the original make to go crazy/

[Inocudom]

What would be a very useful feature is to have a program (or script) that takes github builds and compiles them for Windows (with Direct X support of course.)

Does anybody here compile their own builds for Windows on Windows? It seems like very few people do (hence the reason this topic is dead.)

[CryAngel]

Does anybody here compile their own builds for Windows on Windows?

yes, i do. i compile using VS 2010 on Win x86 and x64, with Lua and LuaJIT (my own attempt integrate LuaJIT in minetest)

I don't know if Fess will come back anytime soon. If you want to do so yourself, you could make 64-bit Windows builds for the community.

How many players of Minetest are there that use a 64-bit version of a Windows operating system? I have Windows 7 64-bit, so that brings the count to one.
