整体步骤
编译minetest的步骤和开发流程是一样的！首先需要安装系统必须的依赖!这些依赖是代码需要引用的库数据。然后下载游戏的源代码接着编译。对于非专业的开发人员来说，你要注意一下问题：
- 1.安装的依赖不同的linux发行版名称可能不一样
- 2.下载源代码需要使用Git工具或者常规的文件下载
- 3.git wget这里两个命令可以先学习
依赖
| 依赖 | 版本 | 描述 |
|---|---|---|
| GCC | 4.9+ | 可以使用Clang 3.4+替代 |
| CMake | 2.6+ | |
| Irrlicht | 1.7.3+ | |
| SQLite3 | 3.0+ | |
| LuaJIT | 2.0+ | 如果不存在使用捆绑的 Lua 5.1 t |
| GMP | 5.0.0+ | 如果不存在使用捆绑的 mini-GMPt |
| JsonCPP | 1.0.0+ | 如果不存在使用捆绑的 JsonCPP |

Debain11依赖安装
sudo apt install g++ make libc6-dev libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev libgmp-dev libjsoncpp-dev doxygen libleveldb-dev libhiredis-dev libspatialindex-dev doxygen libluajit-5.1-dev libzstd-dev gettext libncurses5-dev libpq-dev
Centos8依赖安装
需要先配置其他仓库，否则很多软件包找不到
参考地址: Configuration - RPM Fusion
sudo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sduo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm
sduo dnf install --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools
centos8 依赖包
dnf install leveldb-devel openal-soft-devel libvorbis-devel mesa-libGL-devel sqlite-devel bzip2-devel gmp-devel ncurses-devel libXxf86vm-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel postgresql13-devel spatialindex-devel doxygen libzstd-devel
Centos8在这篇文章出之时并没有 irrlicht-devel spatialindex-devel 的包！我的解决方案:irrlicht-devel使用fadora31中的包 spatialindex-devel 使用centos7中的包
包的下载地址：https://fedora.pkgs.org/31/fedora-x86_64/irrlicht-devel-1.8.4-10.fc31.x86_64.rpm.html
当然就这个包时不够的，还需要连带下载如下包
irrlicht-1.8.4-10.fc31.x86_64.rpm
irrXML-devel-1.8.4-10.fc31.x86_64.rpm
irrlicht-devel-1.8.4-10.fc31.x86_64.rpm
libaesgm-20090429-21.fc31.x86_64.rpm
irrXML-1.8.4-10.fc31.x86_64.rpm
spatialindex-1.8.5-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
spatialindex-devel-1.8.5-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
使用 rpm -i package_name 进修安装
Centos8中如果psql数据找不到可以这样设置参数
cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE -DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE -DPostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/pgsql-13/include/ -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/pgsql-13/include -DPostgreSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/pgsql-13/lib/libpq.so
Fedora依赖安装
sudo dnf install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel cmake libcurl-devel openal-soft-devel libvorbis-devel libXxf86vm-devel libogg-devel freetype-devel mesa-libGL-devel zlib-devel jsoncpp-devel irrlicht-devel bzip2-libs gmp-devel sqlite-devel luajit-devel leveldb-devel ncurses-devel doxygen spatialindex-devel bzip2-devel
Arch依赖安装
sudo pacman -S base-devel libcurl-gnutls cmake libxxf86vm irrlicht libpng sqlite libogg libvorbis openal freetype2 jsoncpp gmp luajit leveldb ncurses
Alpine绑定安装
sudo apk add build-base irrlicht-dev cmake bzip2-dev libpng-dev jpeg-dev libxxf86vm-dev mesa-dev sqlite-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev openal-soft-dev curl-dev freetype-dev zlib-dev gmp-dev jsoncpp-dev luajit-dev
下载源代码
使用Git工具拉取
您可以安装Git来轻松保持副本最新。如果您不想要Git，请阅读以下有关如何在不使用Git的情况下获取源代码的信息。
Debian / Ubuntu上安装Git
sudo apt install git
Fedora安装Git
dnf install git
使用Git下载源（这是最新版本的源存储库的URL，可能并非始终都有效）：
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
cd minetest
使用Git下载minetest_game（否则，只有“最小开发测试”游戏可用）：
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game
将IrrlichtMt 下载到lib/irrlichtmt ，它将用于满足 IrrlichtMt 依赖关系：
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht.git lib/irrlichtmt
下载源，不使用Git：
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
cd minetest-master
下载minetest_game，无需使用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 ..
下载 IrrlichtMt，不使用 Git：
cd lib/
wget https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/archive/master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
mv irrlicht-master irrlichtmt
cd ..
构建
当我们源代码准备好以后就可以开始构建游戏了
构建操作：
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
make -j$(nproc)
游戏运行
./bin/minetest
备注
- 使用
cmake . -LH看到所有CMake的选项和它们当前的状态。 - 如果要在全系统范围内安装（或正在制作分发包），请使用
-DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE。 - 您可以通过指定来构建裸服务器
-DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE。 - 您可以通过指定禁用客户端构建
-DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE。 - 您可以在发布版本和调试版本之间进行选择
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>。- 调试构建速度较慢，但在调试器中提供了更多有用的输出。
- 如果您构建裸服务器，则无需安装Irrlicht。
- 在这种情况下，请使用
-DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=/the/irrlicht/source。
- 在这种情况下，请使用
