Minetest server broken in 20150328 build

[Marshall_maz]

Morning all ,

The minetest server is broken on Ubuntu. 20150328 dev build.
As usual I updated today. Then started my server with the usual

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

minetestserver --worldname Worldname &

This returned the error " minetest-server is not installed. Install it with apt-get "
So I installed mintest-server. ( This has never been necessary before )

Then upon server start I get this:

Code: Select all

minetestserver --worldname Dreambuilder2 &

And the server crashes.

That "override_item" error is caused by an old Minetest version.
Update to the version 0.4.11 or 0.4.12 if possible.

Check your current version with

Code: Select all

minetestserver --version

Like said above , latest minetest version then minetestserver doesn't even start up at all.
And prompts you to install that minetest-server package which is old.

The problem is in the latest build which doesn't seem to have the minetestserver included.

You can run a Minetest server using minetest --server in place of minetestserver. The point of minetestserver is to remove the need for Irrlicht and client specific libraries to be installed, and also results in smaller executable size by not including client stuff.

It is very easy to compile Minetest on Linux systems.

$ cmake . -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DBUILD_SERVER=1
$ make -j2
$ sudo make install

You can run a Minetest server using minetest --server in place of minetestserver.

That works thanx. So basically it's the same syntax now as the Windows version.
