The Pi is rather capable, but as far as I know it doesn't speak OpenGL, but rather OpenGL ES. These are two related, but different, way of dealing with 3d things.

A way of making Minetest Pi-compatible would be to port it to OpenGL ES, or more precisely to lay upon Irrlicht ogl-es, as soon as it's working.

There's a branch here, if anyone feels like it : https://github.com/kizzx2/irrlicht-ogl-es

Please note that some people predict OpenGL will slowly die and ES will prevail. So it might be useful for normal desktops too, in the end.

I tried compiling Minetest on the Raspberry Pi and it resulted in tons of linking errors.

Minetest 0.3.1 is in the Raspbian repository. So somebody was able to compile it. But it only uses the software renderer I think.

thanks for this! could someone recommend a one-line script to update this method of install? i use the portable method.

Use this:

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: cd ~/minetest; git pull; cd src; make -j4

Thank You - I spend hours on 0.4.7.

where should the minetest config file be located in the portable install?

Would it be the same for a non-portable install? Or would just runing the whole script over again just work?

Posted: **Thu Apr 03, 2014 08:32**

It's the same, regardless of portable or not, since the game data is located in ~/minetest.

If one wanted to update Minetest, would we just run the same command again?

No, you dont have to install the dependencies again and you dont have to clone again. Just git pull in the repo of the engine and minetest_game and run cmake and make again.

You only need to run make, if the build files are changed CMake is automatically run again.

One can slightly improve performane by adding

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: -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-march=native -O3 -pipe"

to cmake arguments. This should especially increase performance on AMD bulldozer based systems.

Note that -pipe only increases compile speed but does not optimize anything. If your compiler goes out of memory then remove -pipe. If your game runs unstable then try -O2 instead of -O3. From my testing -O3 seems to be stable though.

If you need to update several git repo (mods and games etc.), then you can use this line:

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: alias rgit='find . -type d -name .git -exec sh -c "cd \"{}\"/../ && pwd && git pull" \;'

to register the rgit alias which will search recursive for git repos and "update" them.

And also the following alias to update and compile minetest.

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: minetest-dev-update='cd ~/.minetest-dev && pwd && time rgit && time cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 && time make -j2 && echo Done'

I have a script that is really nice to use. (I use Slackware 14.0, not Ubuntu or anything like that...Anyhow, here :)

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: cd minetest start=`pwd` for path in `find -name ".git"`; do cd $path/.. echo "updating " $(basename `pwd`) git pull done echo "building updates" cd $start make -j4

This script automatically updates anything you used the git http clone for:

+ "Have to use this: (very big; on accident)"

Put this in a .sh file and run chmod +x filenameyoucalledit.sh
Have it outside your minetest dir and try it; if you met the requirements...

Edit:

Requirements:
Used the git clone function
Compiled MT from source
All mods you want auto updated were downloaded using git clone.
Have this file executable
Outside main minetest dir
You use linux...(Don't know which distro)

That should do it.

The master server list does not show up, but everthing else is fine.

When launching minetest via 'minetest' in a terminal (as the Exec in minetest.desktop) the game crashes when I try to display the server list.

Nevermind : I had two minetest installs, one from the repo and the self compiled one. The repo version launched via 'minetet' is outdated.

It looks like Debian wheezy does not have it (only in wheezy-backports, jessie and sid).

Posted: **Fri Jan 23, 2015 17:19**

Yes,

It solved my problem. I installed Minetest on a fresh and new Debian computer, and i haven't added contrib, non-free, backports repository to my sources.list

Thank you ;)

Thank you for a way to install the current minetest 0.4.11 in ubuntu 14.10.

In my ubuntu 14.10 64 bit, this doesn't install a launch icon for minetest in the menu bar or search applications function. I can launch minetest by terminal, but I'm not sure my 7 year old will remember the steps or even have terminal access in his standard profile. Is there a way to place a launch icon for minetest on the desktop or menu bar?

Posted: **Mon Feb 02, 2015 00:02**

You can make a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications. http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apa.html

I noticed with the installation of minetest with this script on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.10 is that it won't work if the folders don't yet exist. I had to install the old minetest in the normal fashion, remove it with the Ubuntu software center, and then run this script again to make it work.

As for a desktop icon, I had to go to Home/minetest/bin, right click the minetest application, and then copy it to the desktop.
