This is an experimental copy for testing Poikilos' issue mirroring system. Note that Gitea's migration tool can import issues, but the "Issues" checkbox is disabled when "This repository will be a mirror" is enabled (it is for this repo).

Raw Blame History

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 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).
