I do not know much about Linux. I do know I have the same text also often. After that I just start copying and pasting the text of the readme.txt in my LXTerminal. You tried that?

$ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
$ cd celeron55-minetest-286edd4 (or similar) (celeron55-minetest-25cf375 now, I compiled it yesterday)
$ cd games/
$ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
$ mv celeron55-minetest_game-* minetest_game
$ cd ..
$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
$ make -j2 (takes around 5 minutes)

Edit: I don't get the 'I have to use the stable' part

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 20:50

Because there are stable builds and daily builds of Minetest.

Edit1: CPed the whole mess of text, minus some edits to not confuse Terminal. Lets see what happens.

Edit2: A whole mess of nothing happened, error msgs everywhere, minor explosions.

I never spent much thought about that, I assume I always go for the daily build because of copying and pasting the text of my previous post.. So I can recommend that one.Thinking about it, this Daily build is around 20 days old.

Copy and paste a line at a time, and then press enter.
Copy and paste the next line, and press enter.
Do not copy/paste the $ --> That indicates the $ in your terminal

Sorry for my too short explanation :-/

I edited out the $ and (stuff in paranthesis) and Terminal should have been able to handle them all at once, since it reads each command and finishes it before moving on, but I'll try it one at a time. Cant hurt.

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:02

Normally I open my file manager to look for the most recent minetest name when I get here: $ cd celeron55-minetest-286edd4 (or similar) (celeron55-minetest-25cf375 now, I compiled it yesterday)

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:04

Step 5 I get

wget: unable to resolve host address `all'

The full name of the link is:
://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master with https before it

edit: full name

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:08

Got it, I just used Copy Link Location in Firefox.

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:10

Lol. I tried 3 times to paste plain text, what worked, but it kept putting url before it, even when I removed it...

Good to read you solved it!

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:10

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

see what a mess this is? lol

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:11

try with the full name from the terminal. It must work!

edit:

The only difference with the previous link is that here there's _game behind minetest, making the link to long to display all the text

I already got that part. I can't get the tar xf step to work

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:23

Did step 3 and 4 go well/were you working from the right directory??

$ cd celeron55-minetest-25cf375
$ cd games/

edit: Or did you already do step 8 (moving) before 7?
$ mv celeron55-minetest_game-* minetest_game

Sorry I'm running out of options :-/

EDIT: I saw you are working in the right directory. Is the minetest_game tar in that directory?

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:25

Yes
/home/celeron55-minetest-25cf375/games$

gives me

Inspiron-600m:/home/celeron55-minetest-25cf375/games$ tar xf master.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:33

In my /home/TOPYWO/celeron55-minetest-25cf375/games folder I have a file called master.tar.gz.

When I doubleclick it I see: celeron55-minetest_game-87a1e37

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:34

I don't. I only have a folder labeled (minimal)

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:42

Try this if you still want: Go with your file manager to:

Inspiron-600m:/home/celeron55-minetest-25cf375/games

Under tools (upper line of your file manager, you have the option to open the current folder in the terminal. So do it.

then try again this line:

WITH https after wget and before ://

wget ://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz

I took https out for this post, because the forum keeps making a link of it. You must in your terminal put it between wget and :// but attached to ://

Sorry for this way of writing but I'd hate to make typo's

New mess

-- Could NOT find IRRLICHT (missing: IRRLICHT_LIBRARY IRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- GetText disabled
-- Could NOT find OpenAL (missing: OPENAL_LIBRARY OPENAL_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find VORBIS (missing: OGG_INCLUDE_DIR VORBIS_INCLUDE_DIR OGG_LIBRARY VORBIS_LIBRARY VORBISFILE_LIBRARY)
-- Sound enabled, but OpenAL not found!
-- Sound enabled, but Vorbis libraries not found!
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:65 (message):
Sound enabled, but cannot be used.

To continue, either fill in the required paths or disable sound.
(-DENABLE_SOUND=0)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

-edit- I don't use sound anyways. So no loss there but I may need the rest of it.

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 21:59

No problem, I'm not tired yet :-)

Close and open your terminal and type:

apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev

First time I compiled I missed half of this line. I guess you have the same problem.

Then go to:

Inspiron-600m:/home/celeron55-minetest-25cf375

i think the cd.. let's you move from your /game folder to your celeron55-minetest-25cf375, so go to that folder.

Now try again:
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1

and then:
make -j2

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 22:02

I better settle in, 47 mb of dependancies and I'm on public wifi.

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 22:06

Ah, ok, I hope you can finish it on a non-public connection then.

I think you encountered all possible problems, but with the all dependencies you should be allright. If you need help just post. There are also members that have other ways to get the most recent minetest version. They might help you too. Maybe their ways suit you better. For me this is the simplest and only easy way I know of.

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 22:16

Its working! ITS ALIVE! O.O Edit will be if the graphics show up or not.

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 22:28

Good news :-)

If you, or a server you connect to, have a lot of mods you need to put

enable_texture_atlas = false

in your minetest.conf file

I just did in my yesterday compiled version

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 22:49

Original problem still persists. Oh well, at least I know how to get the newest Minetest.

by **Topywo** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 22:55

Good that you got it working, too bad about the textures.

Is it possible that it's your graphics card or no up to date drivers for it?
or
Maybe the graphics part in this post can help you: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3197

I hope you'll get the textures working one day!

by **BenAmaranth** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 23:06

I suppose. This is the most help I've recieved from the community so far, so we'll see.

by **riff** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 19:27

I have had this same problem on a system wide 0.4.11, and 2 compiled versions of .4.13-dev.
