I try play voxelands, but i don't know how i can install it

by Bleu_ » Post

Some time ago I wanted to try this, Voxelands is a game made in minetest a long time ago, I have tried to install it since I got the files, but I do not understand the installation instructions for windows. I will leave the instructions in case someone has an idea and I will attach the link of the files as well.

""""========================================================================
README
========================================================================

ABOUT:
Voxelands is a sandbox construction game based on Minetest, which was
inspired by earlier "voxel world" games such as Infiniminer. Gameplay
puts players in a fully destructible 3D game world where they can place
and dig numerous types of blocks, items and creatures using a variety
of tools. Inside the game world players can build structures, artworks
and anything else their creativity can think of on multiplayer servers
and singleplayer worlds across multiple game modes.

DEPENDENCIES:
Voxelands requires the standard C++ library, irrlicht 1.8 or later,
freetype, openAL, vorbisfile, ogg, zlib. CMake, make, and g++ (or other
C++ compiler) and bzip2 and jpeg are required to build from source.

INSTALL:
If you're reading this then you've already unpacked the tarball, so
just:
1) cd /path/to/voxelands
2) cmake -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 .
3) make -j3

Other optional cmake parameters:
1) -DBUILD_SERVER=0 (default 1) builds the dedicated server
2) -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 (default 1) builds the rich client
3) -DENABLE_AUDIO=0 (default 1) enables audio support

The option -DRUN_IN_PLACE expects the user to run voxelands from the extracted source directory.

WINDOWS:
Voxelands can be cross compiled with mingw, or built natively with MSVC,
instructions for the latter are available on the forums:
http://forum.voxelands.com

USE:
Simply run bin/voxelands from any console/terminal.

CONTROLS:
Controls can be set in the Settings tab of the main menu

Main controls:

W, S, A, D - Walk forward backward, left, and right.
Mouse - Look / Aim.
Mouse wheel - Change wielded item.

Left Mouse Button - Dig / Punch / Attack.
Shift - Sneak.
Space - Jump.

Voxelands isn't what you think it is. Unlike games for Minetest, which are installed in the games folder, Voxelands is a pure fork of an old version of Minetest. So, to play it, you'd have to compile the C++ from source. Since the readme doesn't detail how to do that, and the Voxelands website/forums are defunct, I don't know how one could do that. Perhaps someone could scrounge up compiling instructions from somewhere, but if you've never compiled anything before, it might just be best to not try.

Okey, that explains much now, thanks!
