HTF am I meant to build in Ubuntu 12.10?
None of the commands which people have suggested work.
How do I do it?
I can't copy and paste it into terminal so I'll have to copy it out by hand.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

If that is true then your system is broken really bad.

You can't copy and paste into your terminal???
An innocent kitten dies every time you top-post.
I am on the Voxelands Forums more often than here.

What are the errors you're getting with each of the commands you've tried to run? Copy&paste the output of your terminal here, please.

Well, just for a start now, everytime I turn on Linux, getting a message saying that there has been a 'severe software problem- would you like to report it?' At this point any open programs close.
First I tried VannessA's Ubuntu build. I downloaded the file and ran it to get Minetest, and did the same with the luajit file. They both seemed to install fine. Then when I tried to run Minetest (from the terminal) it told me I didn't have luajit installed. No matter how many times I reinstalled luajit it wouldn't work.
I also tried the gui version of Cmake and it couldn't compile Minetest- it said that there were errors with the files- it couldn't find the cmake.txt (I think that is what it was called); and also running the 'one line command' from a couple of threads above this one will only say several things, like it couldn't find libvorbis-dev, or libopenal-dev, or a couple of others (can't remember it all- I'll try again later).
Last of all I tried to search the internet for 'How to compile in Ubuntu 12.10' and got no results that gave me working commands. I have now just resorted to using Windows, which runs slowly on my computer. Linux keeps giving me the severe problem message.
I can't copy and paste into my terminal. I select whatever text I want to copy, and it copies it to clipboard. I then try to paste it into Terminal and nothing happens. In case the text is just invisible, I hit enter, which just writes M^ suggesting that there was no text there which was invisible.

Select the text and middle click where you want to paste it.

In the case of my builds, you didn't read the whole first post. Therein, It says you have to run "sudo ldconfig" to get past the missing luajit error.
