Minetest on Rasbpberry Pi

[Ivà]

I've tried to compile the latest MT last night, but sadly it didn't finish even half of it when I came up.

Uhmmmm... 4aiman I compile the git MT server on my RPi 1 in about 90 minutes. I don't use any special trick to do it and my RPI 1 is only slightly overclocked (800 MHz).

[4aiman]

Try performing a "clean" compilation and see the difference.

BTW, if you're able to do what is needed, then it would be cool to share your way of doing it and free me from performing useless activity ;)

@Amicadi

You need to either build OGLES Irrlicht or supply a egl header and library.
The first way worked for me. (Haven't try the second way at all.)

Anyway, you'll need to install libgl-mesa-x11-dev (look through this thread to find the exact name - it's not that long)
I
Then search for header and libs in /opt/vc/include and use those to build the client.


PS: This

OpenGL ES
EGL_INCLUDE_DIR - directory that contains egl.h
EGL_LIBRARY - path to libEGL.a/libEGL.so
OPENGLES2_INCLUDE_DIR - directory that contains gl2.h
OPENGLES2_LIBRARY - path to libGLESv2.a/libGLESv2.so

doesn't work without ENABLE_GLES=1

As I said before I don't do any special trick, just git clone, cmake and make. Note that I said that I'm only compiling the server, not irrlicht or opengl or something else.

[Dartmouth]

Compiling the server took me less than half an hour on the quadcore RPi2...

@Ivà (may I call you just "Iva"? I don't have "à" in my kb layouts)
Well, I'm compiling the entire Minetest - client and server :)
Haven't tried to build server only.


@Amicadi
I'm still away from my RPi but I'm using a virtual RPi to build MT at the very moment.
Once I'm done, I'll share the *.img files I use as well as the tutorial on how to setup a virtual Pi.

Gotta go now...

[Amicadi]

Continuing with Minetest compilation with OpenGL ES support.

Minetest linking is done by the command at /home/pi/minetest/src/CMakeFiles/minetest.dir/link.txt

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/c++   -DNDEBUG -Wall   -ffast-math -Wall -pipe -funroll-loops -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer  ...Long list of object files... ../bin/minetest -rdynamic -lz /home/pi/irrlicht/ogl-es/lib/Linux/libIrrlicht.a -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lXext -ljpeg -lbz2 -lpng -lz -lX11 -lXext -lopenal -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lsqlite3 lua/build/liblua.a -lgmp json/libjsoncpp.a -lGLESv2 -lX11 -lXext -lGLESv2 -lrt -lpthread -ldl -lXxf86vm -lcurl -Wl,-Bstatic -lfreetype cguittfont/libcguittfont.a -Wl,-Bdynamic -ljpeg -lbz2 -lpng -lopenal -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lsqlite3 -lgmp -lrt -lpthread -ldl -lXxf86vm -lcurl /home/pi/irrlicht/ogl-es/lib/Linux/libIrrlicht.a -lz -Wl,-Bstatic -lfreetype -Wl,-Bdynamic

Here there is somethings missing. As seen, Irrlicht is linked without -lGLESv2 or -lEGL flags and -L/opt/vc/lib is not there which seem to be mandatory according to https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 3&p=259277

so, I changed the linking command for:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/c++   -DNDEBUG -Wall   -ffast-math -Wall -pipe -funroll-loops -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer  ...Long list of object files... ../bin/minetest -rdynamic -lz /home/pi/irrlicht/ogl-es/lib/Linux/libIrrlicht.a -lGLU -lGL -lGLESv2 -lEGL -lX11 -lXext -ljpeg -lbz2 -lpng -lz -lX11 -L/opt/vc/lib -lXext -lopenal -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lsqlite3 lua/build/liblua.a -lgmp json/libjsoncpp.a -lGLESv2 -lEGL -lX11 -lXext -lrt -lpthread -ldl -lXxf86vm -lcurl -Wl,-Bstatic -lfreetype cguittfont/libcguittfont.a -Wl,-Bdynamic -ljpeg -lbz2 -lpng -lopenal -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lsqlite3 -lgmp -lrt -lpthread -ldl -lXxf86vm -lcurl /home/pi/irrlicht/ogl-es/lib/Linux/libIrrlicht.a -lz -Wl,-Bstatic -lfreetype -Wl,-Bdynamic

And then I executed the whole command. I succeed linking and I got minetest binary at /home/pi/minetest/bin

I add the line:

Code: Select all

video_driver = ogles2

to minetest.conf and I execute minetest who complains about the shaders location. So, I copied irrlicht media folder (which contains the shaders) to /home/pi and executed it again getting:

Am I getting any closer? :-)

++      //EglDisplay = eglGetDisplay((NativeDisplayType)Data.OpenGLLinux.X11Display);
++      EglDisplay = eglGetDisplay(EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY);

Then eglInitialize was sucessful, but then I got this log:

++ // #ifdef EGL_VERSION_1_3
                EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE, EglOpenGLBIT,

After this modification, I got:

I guess that Irrlicht ogl-es needs some more code for EGL 1.4 to work in other devices than ANDROID_DEVICE. Irrlicht ogl-es 1.9.0 is in alpha version, so, who knows... :-)

I ran a server on the Model B 512MB, and tested it...works, but i got tons of lag. :( Not tested it on any later models of the pi.

For others attempting to run Irrlicht/Minetest with brcmEGL/brcmGLES on the Pi, I have posted code and instructions in this thread on the Raspberry Pi forums.

How can I upgrade Minetest to 5.0(.0 or .1) ?

You could Compile MT direct from MT's download See page below

Notes on how to compile Irrlicht w/ GLES2 -- https://git.io/fjVo4

[runs]

I sucessfully compile and run a Minetest Server in a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian x64. With the forked Irrlicht from Minetest too.

1. The dependencies are (only 'libjpeg62-turbo-dev' is different from the standard set):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install git g++ make cmake build-essential libjpeg62-turbo-dev libpng-dev zlib1g-dev libopengl-dev libglx-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxxf86vm-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libsqlite3-dev libzstd-dev libluajit-5.1-dev libjsoncpp-dev libgmp-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev

2. Download Minetest Irrlicht from here:
https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht
Direct ZIP Link

And put it (decompress) in the dir:
'minetest/lib/irrlichtmt'

3. Compile Irlicht, this is, open a Linux terminal on the dir and execute the following two commands:

Code: Select all

cmake .
make NDEBUG=1 -j $(nproc)

4. Put this script in the Minetest directory and execute, or execute the independent commands on a Linux terminal:

Code: Select all

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DENABLE_LEVELDB=1 -DBUILD_SERVER=1 -DIRRLICHT_LIBRARY=irrlicht/lib/Linux/libIrrlichtMt.a -DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=irrlicht/include
make -j$(nproc)
echo -e "\n\n\e[1;33mYou can run Minetest again by typing \"minetest\" in a terminal or selecting it in an applications menu.\nYou can install mods in ~/.minetest/mods, too.\e[0m"

5. Run the server with this script in the Minetest directory (change mygame & myworld to match your own):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

while true
do
	 ./bin/minetestserver --gameid mygame --worldname myworld
	sleep 10
done

Hello,
When I use snap to download minetest I get version 5.3, but version 5.4 is needed.
When using "runs" methods above minetestserver 5.4 builds and runs fine on all my systems. Using the default from README.md builds clients on my laptops and desktops.
However when I try 5.4 on my Pi400 the following runtime errors occur:
X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig
Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 0 ()
Serial number of failed request: 500
Current serial number in output stream: 500
Has anyone gotten a 5.4 client to run on the Pi400?
Thanks

[c56]

yes but because i use archlinuxarm its now 5.50
also to get 5.4 building it from source code should work

[crlyttle]

Thanks. I've been using Pi OS 64bit and Ubuntu.
Any help on building archlinuxarm to run Minetest 5.4 or 5.5? It seems there are lots of options.

Hi runs and all the other minetesters ;)

I am trying to build the most recent 5.5 build of Minetest for armfh / RaspbianLegacy (32bit) as flatpak doesn´t work (outdated) and Appimage is sadly non-existent. ;(

Could someone please provide info on how to build it from scratch for armfh ? I guess it should be close to the solution you (runs) provided for server before - but as I am a linux n00b I didn´t manage to compile it properly.

There was an old build method mentioned in this thread at https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=290416

But it does not seem to work anymore as irrlicht seems to have changes which breaks this ;( I got an old dev version 5.5 running on RaspberryOS but the script does not work anymore ;(

Thanks a lot for this great community.

I've not tried RaspbianLegacy yet. But, thanks to runs et al, I've got it to run just fine on the other 32 and 64 bit Pi OS images from rpi-imager. For school work I have Minetest, LibreOffice, and Calibre as primary tools.

Any help would be appreciated - our pupils would love to use the most recent version of minetest for their lessons on our Raspi systems here.

Thanks a lot for this great community.

The old method does not wotk for 5.5. Try to follow my steps and put here the errors/problems you'd get.

1. Get the Minetest Irlitch:

https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht

Put on: minetest/lib/irrlichtmt and compile it.

I set up a complete script in this new topic now:

Thank you! Your thread helped ;)

For completeness:

• Save the following code as file "compile_minetest.sh"

Code: Select all

echo ZZZZ Updating Apt-Get Repository List
apt-get update
echo ZZZZ Installing Dependencies

chown -R pi:pi /minetest

• put file into your homedir

• start with

Code: Select all

sudo bash compile_minetest.sh

run with

Code: Select all

./minetest/bin/minetest

I guess it should also work on 64bit edition. Please report...

Rock the PI with Minetest \O/ - Have fun!
