FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I upgraded my server to 0.4.12 - dev.
My graphics card is not good enough to handle it.
As soon as I start the server or if I start minetest it would freeze. Had to xkill it. Put the hard drive in another computer and it ran no problem. The other computer is too slow for the server and the server computer does not have a slot for the good graphics card.

Can I compile it without lrrlicht and it would run? I am not sure what running the server without lrrlicht does.

Compile it with BUILD_SERVER and without BUILD_CLIENT (cmake)

Then it won't depend on the video card?

It shouldn't. I've run on a headless server without problems.

I don't think you have to recompile; just start the existing MT binary in server mode with "minetest --server" from a terminal.

That is how I run it.

Hey Don, why not use the actual server binary if your running from a command anyway?

Because I am not sure how it works. I will look it up. Thanks.

I compiled without the client and it worked. Thank you everyone for your help.
