It's my first post into this forum, so some few words to introduced myself. I'm not a video gamer, I used to compiled minestest since version 4.1 for for my son and my daughter on linux fedora (18 at this time).
For the last release the compilation process was a little bit more complicated than the other time. The problems are around LuaJIT and the availability for two irrlicht release on my computer.
First a description of the running system.
- Linux l3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP x86_64
- For irrlicht engine, two version are present
* /usr/include/irrlicht // 1.7.3
* /usr/include/irrlicht18
- luajit is not present in fedora repository then a local installation is done.
Here all my stuff to make minetest compiled on my computer. In one hand, I hope this could help other people to solve some problems during installation. In the other hand I hope give enough clues to help developer to make this step easy for everyone
My installation process is done with several script and hand made modifications :
First installation for LuaJIT
====================
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
echo "Download LuaJIT"
cd minetest-minetest-*
#git clone http://luajit.org/git/luajit-2.0.git
echo "Compilation locale"
cd luajit-2.0
set LuaJIT_path = `pwd`
echo "pwd = " $LuaJIT_path
mkdir lj2
echo "* make"
make PREFIX=$LuaJIT_path/lj2/
echo "* make install"
make install PREFIX=$LuaJIT_path/lj2/
Second minetest archives download
=========================
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
echo "Download source, extract (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times):"
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
cd minetest-minetest-*
echo "Download common (needed for minetest_game and some others)"
cd games/
wget https://github.com/minetest/common/tarball/master -O common.tar.gz
tar xf common.tar.gz
mv minetest-common-* common
echo "Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available)"
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/tarball/master -O minetest_game.tar.gz
tar xf minetest_game.tar.gz
mv minetest-minetest_game-* minetest_game
cd ..
Third minetest compilation
====================
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
echo "Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:"
cd minetest-minetest-*
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
make -j2
Fourth adding some adjustment in CmakeCache.txt
======================================
a) the path for LuaJIT
somthing like this :
//Disable non-ansi features.
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
LUA_ANSI:BOOL=ON
N
//Path to a file.
LUA_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/REAL-PATH/lj2/include/luajit-2.0
//Path to a library.
LUA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/REAL-PATH/lj2/lib/libluajit-5.1.so
b) Same thing for irrlicht18
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
//Path to a file.
IRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/irrlicht18
//Path to a library.
IRRLICHT_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libIrrlicht18.so
Fifth adding some adjustement in src/game.cpp
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
//#if (IRRLICHT_VERSION_MAJOR == 1 && IRRLICHT_VERSION_MINOR < 8)
services->setPixelShaderConstant("normalTexture" , (irr::f32*)&layer1, 1);
services->setPixelShaderConstant("useNormalmap" , (irr::f32*)&layer2, 1);
//#else
// services->setPixelShaderConstant("normalTexture" , (irr::s32*)&layer1, 1);
// services->setPixelShaderConstant("useNormalmap" , (irr::s32*)&layer2, 1);
//#endif
Finaly run an other time the compilation script
==================================
Verry last script for mods
==================
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
echo "Download mod fireworks"
cd minetest-minetest-*
cd mods
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/82668184/fireworks%20V0.3.zip -O fireworks_V0.3.zip
unzip fireworks_V0.3.zip
echo "Download mod SpaceInvader"
git clone https://github.com/B-Laurent/Minetest_SpaceInvader.git SpaceInvader
mv SpaceInvader/spaceinvaders spaceinvaders
rm -r -f SpaceInvader
If you need more information be free to ask, i will give an answer. And thank to all of you for this great game.
And this is probably, something for an other post. During april, we have science ant technology days and i'm tinking about doing something with minetest and 3D printer of children. Is possible to export in STL format a part of a map ?
