Minetest Forums

It's the first time, I build something for windows and this is my first build of minetest. It is more a test than a build
This build was made on a fedora 20.
It is built with the latest source from minetest (commit 96fcca4ea0 - 03 nov 2014).

Don't hesitate to give me your advice. I need to learn more about minetest.

Built with :
cURL (7.37.0-1.fc20)
Freetype (2.5.0.1-2.fc20)
Irrlicht (1.8.1) with directx support
GetText (0.18.3.1-1.fc20) + win-iconv (0.0.4-3.fc20)
libVorbis (1.3.3-3.fc20) + libOgg (1.3.0-5.fc20)
LuaJIT (2.0.3)
OpenAL-soft (1.16.0)
levelDB (1.18)
zlib (1.2.8-2.fc20)

So it's basically a cross-build?

Yes.

Would you be interested in attempting to do the same for the fork of Minetest known as Freeminer?
https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer
Minetest has Fess, BlockMen, sfan5, and Krock making Windows builds of it, but Freeminer only has CraigyDavi and Jojoa1997 (and they currently only do 32-bit builds.) Your help would be greatly appreciated there, as the developers of that fork need people to test how it works on Windows before they will consider making a new stable build of it.

I don't know freeminer. But why not. I will look at your repository.

It doesn't belong to me, it belongs to proller and xyz. They are the developers of it.

That would be great if you were to do so. I have been looking for a reliable source because I am too lazy to do it myself.

Spoiler

If you really want somebody to learn, I will give it a shot. I am on a 64 bit machine, so I can also probably do the compiling for 32 & 64 bit. I will have to download Cygwin or just the Ming32/64 tools to compile though...

It seems to work in fedora 21 Beta-4 too.
