# Building Minetest
|
||
|
|
EnlivenMinetest is mostly oriented around building ENLIVEN, which is
|
||
|
|
available as a "game" (Lua game for the Minetest engine binary) and
|
||
|
|
release (Lua+binary+conf)), but you can also use some of the scripts to
|
||
|
|
build basically any version Minetest (engine) from source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Linux
|
||
|
|
* Open terminal (root is *not* recommended).
|
||
|
|
* IF you are a decicated server, first run
|
||
|
|
`touch $HOME/i_am_dedicated_minetest_server`
|
||
|
|
* Then (The next command downloads the latest linux-build-kit, CLEARS the
|
||
|
|
webapp/linux-build-kit/minetest directory, and compiles the libraries.
|
||
|
|
Do not put anything important in that directory--the latter install
|
||
|
|
script installs the game to $HOME/minetest and that is the copy of
|
||
|
|
minetest you should use (such as via the icon)):
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
bash reset-minetest.sh
|
||
|
|
bash install-mts.sh --client
|
||
|
|
# defaults to client if $HOME/Desktop/org.minetest.minetest.desktop exists
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Minetest icon will be added as:
|
||
|
|
`$HOME/.local/share/applications/org.minetest.minetest.desktop` (your
|
||
|
|
window manager should automatically detect the change--if not, you may
|
||
|
|
need to restart your window manager. If it still doesn't show, contact
|
||
|
|
the maintainer of your window manager. This works in KDE on Fedora 29.
|
||
|
|
Workaround: copy the icon from there to your desktop.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Linux Server Install or Upgrade
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd ~/git/EnlivenMinetest
|
||
|
|
./reset-minetest-install-source.sh && ./versionize && ./install-mts.sh
|
||
|
|
# You can leave out `&& ./versionize` if you don't want to keep old
|
||
|
|
# copies.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Using install-mts.sh
|
||
|
|
You must first run reset-minetest-install-source.sh to compile the
|
||
|
|
libraries automatically, or otherwise have run the compile libraries
|
||
|
|
script in `~/.config/EnlivenMinetest/linux-minetest-kit`, or at least
|
||
|
|
have already compiled Minetest there. If the minetest or
|
||
|
|
minetestserver binary (or just minetestserver if client is not enabled)
|
||
|
|
is not present there (in
|
||
|
|
`~/.config/EnlivenMinetest/linux-minetest-kit/minetest/bin/`), the
|
||
|
|
script will try to compile the program before installing or stop if it
|
||
|
|
cannot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Arguments
|
||
|
|
- `--clean` is the recommended option, and is the default. It
|
||
|
|
erases Bucket_Game and causes ENLIVEN to be remade using Bucket_Game.
|
||
|
|
- It backs up skins, but that is not necessary anymore since
|
||
|
|
coderskins uses world storage (follow this issue at
|
||
|
|
<https://github.com/Poikilos/EnlivenMinetest/issues/382>).
|
||
|
|
- `--client` installs the client too. Since "install-mts.sh" stands for
|
||
|
|
"Install minetestserver," the `--client` option is off by default
|
||
|
|
(See the "Configuration Files" section for how to change the default).
