I switched from Ubuntu 16.04 to the latest Debian testing today, and tried different ways to install Minetest with git. I've done it before just fine with Ubuntu. Here is what I got each time:

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: -- The CXX compiler identification is unknown CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:9 (project): No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found. Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment variable "CXX" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the full path to the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/home/user/git/minetest/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". See also "/home/user/git/minetest/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log". make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

The build-essential package should normally always install GCC (which lets you compile C/C++ code).

Alternatively, you may try to install the clang package, which also is a C/C++ compiler.

You can force the use of a specific compiler (Clang as an example, here) in a CMake project (which Minetest is) with these commands:

Code: Select all: export CC=/usr/bin/clang export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++

I tried that and got farther, but now it's saying this:

Sorry, I don't really know much about compiling :P. Especially in Debian.

Your script installs libirrlicht-dev, do you know what version that is for LinuxMint 18.x (based on Ubuntu 16.04)? I need irrlicht 1.8.4 or greater to use the clipboard between LinuxMint & MT 0.4.15

Thank you so much for this!! saved me hours - works perfectly on ubunutu 16.04 server

I try it in Ubuntu 16.10 with the non-portable version this works perfect.

But on my server i can't update the server version to 0.4.15

I really want to add some customizations to my minetest because I don't have much experience with C++. This script won't work on Debian. I've seen things that work, but nothing yet that works that I can also change the source code and recompile. I think it has to do with there being missing libraries. I don't know how to fix this other than that it complains about how some library packages are not available. I don't know what to do about these packages. I miss Ubuntu. :(

Can you post the log of this command, when typed in the root directory of the Minetest Git clone?

Code: Select all: cmake .

The script didn't work for me. I fixed it with replacing "libpng12-dev" with "libpng-dev". Just that.
