FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello minetest community,
this is my first post and this could be a simple mistake i have
made but i compiled it with the instructions mentioned in the
official instructions but when i try and load the public serverlist
it just doesn't load. The error message in the terminal is:



Im running linux mint 17 64-bit and minetest 0.4.10-dev
is there any solution for this?

this could be a simple mistake
It is, you forgot to compile with cURL support.
Install the development packages for cURL and pass -DENABLE_CURL=1 to CMake to get it to work.

i dont understand how to do this. i only copy and paste the commands from the instructions on the forums. I have no idea how to use CMake and pass that command. Und ich kann deutsch sprechen, obwohl am lieber englisch sprechen weil meinen Deutsch nicht so gut ist.

Danke

Which instructions?

There are instructions halfway down this link:

https://github.com/minetest/minetest

Following the instructions works for me. Do/did you miss the blue dependency?

" Compiling on GNU/Linux:
-----------------------

Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
$ 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 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev

etc... "

im hopeless at this stuff and i was wondering if anyone could post a "for dummies" explanation.

btw i used this website to compile it
http://dev.minetest.net/Compiling_Minetest

You probably did allright, but got an outdated instruction, missing 2 dependencies:

As in your post:
$ 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

GitHub link:
$ 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 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev

@harryadams
I'll build a new latest version of minestest and will copy/paste the lines I used here, so you can copy/paste them in you terminal:

sudo 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 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev

<enter>

tar xf master.tar.gz

<enter>

cd minetest-minetest-d1ccc64

<enter>

cd games/

<enter>

wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_ga ... all/master -O minetest_game.tar.gz

<enter>

tar xf minetest_game.tar.gz

<enter>

mv minetest-minetest_game-* minetest_game

<enter>

cd ..

<enter>

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1

<enter>

make -j2

<enter>

exit

<enter>


NB!
At this moment this is the latest version: minetest-minetest-d1ccc64
When building another time, just before you do cd minetest-minetest-d1ccc64 look in your home folder. There probably appeared a new minetest-minetest-folder with a different letter/number combination. In that case use that one instead of d1ccc64.

make -j2 can take some time

Good luck!
