0.4.3 for Fedora?

[fr00ty_l00ps]

Hey, so I am pretty new to the community, and you can find me on Wazu's server consistently. My problem is that even though I am technologically advanced, to say the least, I cannot seem to wrap my head around building Minetest from source... -.- I have a POS oldish laptop running Fedora 17, 32 bit. Does anybody know where I could find 0.4.3 for Fedora? Thanks in advanced ^v^

You've been on minetest.net http://minetest.net/ ? Under the download tab http://minetest.net/download.php , there's a Fedora link, however I get a warning that the site may be corrupt (strongly adviced not to continue).

If you go to the Github tab https://github.com/celeron55/minetest and scroll down to the readme.txt, scroll down more until "Compiling on GNU/Linux:" you'll get a good explanation how to compile the latest minetest from the source. Is this the building from the source that's not working for you (under Fedora?) What part doesn't work (I'm a newbee with Linux and I use Lubuntu 12.4 instead of Fedora) , but maybe someone can help you with it if they know what's going wrong.

Edit: Welcome to the community :-)

Hey fr00ty. Hit me up on IRC next time your around. I'll be happy to walk you through the build process.

unfortunately it's not updated to 0.4.3 yet in official repository.

the url of the minetest repo browser interface has changed: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/minetest
the current link on the minetest download page pointed to a previous development version of the current repo browser and since it finished the link is broken.

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

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

maybe you have to do the same to sudo rm

The OP is using Fedora. Fedora uses Yum, not Apt.

would someone be able to compile it and put a link to a download on it because errors always appear when i try to compile
