Where can I select the DIR folder for compiling the source?

Thanks,

"dir" normally means "directory". Where does it say you need this? Which operating system are you using?

Just for being sure, where did you downloaded Minetest?

Doesnt matter I already got it. But when I Configure with CMake it says sound cannot be used how can I fix this?

You don't need to build your minetest version, there are pre-built in-developement versions.

But what if I want to make my own version of the game?

You have to define the sound library related variables in MT's CMake build system (and likely download and possibly compile some of those libraries).

Reading these will probably give you enough information to continue:
