========
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.

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 = Contents/MacOS
$share = Contents/Resources
$user = Contents/User OR ~/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:
$ 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 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev libjsoncpp-dev
You can install git for easily keeping your copy up to date.
If you dont want git, read below on how to get the source without git.
This is an example for installing git on Debian/Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core
Download source (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times) using git:
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
$ cd minetest
Download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available) using git:
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game
Download source, without using git:
$ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
$ cd minetest-master
Download minetest_game, without using git:
$ cd games/
$ wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/archive/master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
$ mv minetest_game-master minetest_game
$ cd ..
Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
$ make -j <number of processors>
Run it:
$ ./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=FALSE
- You can build a bare server by specifying -DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE
- You can disable the client build by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE
- 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

---------------------
- 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
