-Minetest
-============
-
-An InfiniMiner/Minecraft inspired game.
-
-Copyright (c) 2010-2013 Perttu Ahola <celeron55@gmail.com>
-and contributors (see source file comments and the version control log)
-
-In case you downloaded the source code:
----------------------------------------
-If you downloaded the Minetest Engine source code in which this file is
-contained, you probably want to download the minetest_game project too:
- https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/
-See the README.txt in it.

-This game is not finished
---------------------------
-- Don't expect it to work as well as a finished game will.
-- Please report any bugs. When doing that, debug.txt is useful.

-
-Paths
-------
-$bin - Compiled binaries
-$share - Distributed read-only data
-$user - User-created modifiable data
-
-Windows .zip / RUN_IN_PLACE source:
-$bin = bin
-$share = .
-$user = .
-
-Linux installed:
-$bin = /usr/bin
-$share = /usr/share/minetest
-$user = ~/.minetest
-
-OS X:
-$bin = ?
-$share = ?
-$user = ~/Library/Application Support/minetest
-
-World directory
-----------------
-- Worlds can be found as separate folders in:
- $user/worlds/
-
-Configuration file:
--------------------
-- Default location:
- $user/minetest.conf
-- It is created by Minetest when it is ran the first time.
-- A specific file can be specified on the command line:
- --config <path-to-file>
-
-Command-line options:
----------------------
-- Use --help
-
-Compiling on GNU/Linux:
------------------------
-
-Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
-$ 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
-
-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-286edd4 (or similar)
-
-Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available)
-$ cd games/
-$ 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 ..
-
-Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
-$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
-$ make -j2
-
-Run it:
-$ cd bin
-$ ./minetest
-
-- Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
-- If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
-- You can build a bare server or a bare client by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 or -DBUILD_SERVER=0
-- You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>
- - Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger
-- If you build a bare server, you don't need to have Irrlicht installed. In that case use -DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=/the/irrlicht/source
-
-Compiling on Windows:
----------------------
-- This section is outdated. In addition to what is described here:
- - In addition to minetest, you need to download minetest_game.
- - If you wish to have sound support, you need libogg, libvorbis and libopenal
-
-- You need:
- * CMake:
- http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
- * MinGW or Visual Studio
- http://www.mingw.org/
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default
- * Irrlicht SDK 1.7:
- http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
- * Zlib headers (zlib125.zip)
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
- * Zlib library (zlibwapi.lib and zlibwapi.dll from zlib125dll.zip):
- http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/index.html
- * Optional: gettext library and tools:
- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/gettext.php
- - This is used for other UI languages. Feel free to leave it out.
- * And, of course, Minetest:
- http://minetest.net/download.php
-- Steps:
- - Select a directory called DIR hereafter in which you will operate.
- - Make sure you have CMake and a compiler installed.
- - Download all the other stuff to DIR and extract them into there.
- ("extract here", not "extract to packagename/")
- NOTE: zlib125dll.zip needs to be extracted into zlib125dll
- - All those packages contain a nice base directory in them, which
- should end up being the direct subdirectories of DIR.
- - You will end up with a directory structure like this (+=dir, -=file):
- -----------------
- + DIR
- - zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
- - zlib125dll.zip
- - irrlicht-1.7.1.zip
- - 110214175330.zip (or whatever, this is the minetest source)
- + zlib-1.2.5
- - zlib.h
- + win32
- ...
- + zlib125dll
- - readme.txt
- + dll32
- ...
- + irrlicht-1.7.1
- + lib
- + include
- ...
- + gettext (optional)
- +bin
- +include
- +lib
- + minetest
- + src
- + doc
- - CMakeLists.txt
- ...
- -----------------
- - Start up the CMake GUI
- - Select "Browse Source..." and select DIR/minetest
- - Now, if using MSVC:
- - Select "Browse Build..." and select DIR/minetest-build
- - Else if using MinGW:
- - Select "Browse Build..." and select DIR/minetest
- - Select "Configure"
- - Select your compiler
- - It will warn about missing stuff, ignore that at this point. (later don't)
- - Make sure the configuration is as follows
- (note that the versions may differ for you):
- -----------------
- BUILD_CLIENT [X]
- BUILD_SERVER [ ]
- CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX DIR/minetest-install
- IRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR DIR/irrlicht-1.7.1
- RUN_IN_PLACE [X]
- WARN_ALL [ ]
- ZLIB_DLL DIR/zlib125dll/dll32/zlibwapi.dll
- ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/zlib-1.2.5
- ZLIB_LIBRARIES DIR/zlib125dll/dll32/zlibwapi.lib
- GETTEXT_BIN_DIR DIR/gettext/bin
- GETTEXT_INCLUDE_DIR DIR/gettext/include
- GETTEXT_LIBRARIES DIR/gettext/lib/intl.lib
- GETTEXT_MSGFMT DIR/gettext/bin/msgfmt
- -----------------
- - Hit "Configure"
- - Hit "Configure" once again 8)
- - If something is still coloured red, you have a problem.
- - Hit "Generate"
- If using MSVC:
- - Open the generated minetest.sln
- - The project defaults to the "Debug" configuration. Make very sure to
- select "Release", unless you want to debug some stuff (it's slower
- and might not even work at all)
- - Build the ALL_BUILD project
- - Build the INSTALL project
- - You should now have a working game with the executable in
- DIR/minetest-install/bin/minetest.exe
- - Additionally you may create a zip package by building the PACKAGE
- project.
- If using MinGW:
- - Using the command line, browse to the build directory and run 'make'
- (or mingw32-make or whatever it happens to be)
- - You may need to copy some of the downloaded DLLs into bin/, see what
- running the produced executable tells you it doesn't have.
- - You should now have a working game with the executable in
- DIR/minetest/bin/minetest.exe
-
-Windows releases of minetest are built using a bat script like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-set sourcedir=%CD%
-set installpath="C:\tmp\minetest_install"
-set irrlichtpath="C:\tmp\irrlicht-1.7.2"
-
-set builddir=%sourcedir%\bvc10
-mkdir %builddir%
-pushd %builddir%
-cmake %sourcedir% -G "Visual Studio 10" -DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=%irrlichtpath% -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%installpath%
-if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
-"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
-if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
-"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
-if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
-"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" PACKAGE.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
-if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto fail
-popd
-echo Finished.
-exit /b 0
-
-:fail
-popd
-echo Failed.
-exit /b 1
