Not sure what to do next to trouble shoot.

[rubenwardy]

what is your Minetest version? Where did you get it from?

[mike-yukaputz]

I used sudo apt-get install minetestserver..... Whatever the ubuntu repositories offered up. How do I upgrade to the latest because trying to following the bits and pieces I found on the web really got me screwed up.

[mike-yukaputz]

/build/buildd/minetest-0.4.9+repack/src/main.cpp:1860:

[kaadmy]

@mike-yukaputz: Try this: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3837

The Ubuntu/Debian packages are a really old version afaik, 0.4.13 is the latest.

[mike-yukaputz]

@kaadmy,

Will that script work for my scenario? it's a dedicated headless ubuntu server?

[rubenwardy]

It won't work correctly. Do this instead:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libirrlicht-dev libgettextpo0 libfreetype6-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libluajit-5.1-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libleveldb-dev; cd; git clone https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git; cmake . -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DENABLE_LEVELDB=1 -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DBUILD_SERVER=1; make -j$(nproc); sudo make install; mkdir ~/.minetest; mkdir ~/.minetest/games; cd ~/.minetest/games/; git clone https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git; echo -e "\n\n\e[1;33mYou can run Minetest again by typing \"minetest\" in a terminal\nYou can install mods in ~/.minetest/mods, too.\e[0m"

[mike-yukaputz]

@Rubenwardy

Same question, will that script work for a headless ubuntu minetest server install?

[rubenwardy]

Yes, it makes a headless ubuntu minetestserver.

[mike-yukaputz]

So I did
sudo apt-get remove minetestc55

Then ran the script above.

Still getting the following?

Thanks in advance for all your help. I've been pulling my hair out on this for 2 days. 5 kids want to play a minecraft style game and I'm not spending the cash for all five ya know?

[rubenwardy]

That didn't work correctly - you still have 0.4.9. It seems that you didn't remove the old version right. Try sudo apt-get remove minetest then sudo apt-get remove minetestserver and check that you can't run minetestserver

Also, there is a ppa to get the latest stable Minetest if you're using an old version of Ubuntu/debian (such as 14.04)
If you're using 15.x, you should be able to do sudo apt-get install minetestserver to get the latest.

[mike-yukaputz]

ok, I was able to get rid of everything... ran the script. How do I start the server now? my original "minetestserver" command doesn't work and minetest --server isn't working either.

yukaputz@media-1:~$ yukaputz@media-1:~$ minetest --server
yukaputz@media-1:~$: command not found
yukaputz@media-1:~$ The program 'minetest' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
No command 'The' found, did you mean:
Command 'the' from package 'the' (universe)
The: command not found
yukaputz@media-1:~$

[rubenwardy]

Did the script give any errors?

[mike-yukaputz]

Sorry for the late reply, needed to take a break and then valentines day and all. So yes, I did, What do I about

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/yukaputz" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Bump?

[oleastre]

The scripts lacks a "cd" command and as such, minetest was not even built.
It should be (except error on my side):

hang on...
