[Linux] Minetest Appimages

[An0n3m0us]

Calinou seems to have stopped updating his Minetest AppImage builds, so I decided to build Minetest and create an AppImage out of it. You can download it here:

https://github.com/An0n3m0us/Minetest-AppImages

First, make the AppImage an executable by using `chmod +x <file>` in the terminal or by right-clicking the file then selecting "Properties" then "Permissions", and checking the executable checkbox. Double-click the AppImage to run Minetest.

Credit to Calinou. I used the libraries from his x64 AppImage to quickly set up my AppImages for Minetest 64 bit. Without his AppImage it would have taken me a long time to collect the libraries.

AppImages for Minetest 5.2.0 are now available!

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for your hard work. The AppImage works a treat.

Will you be bringing out the 5.1 AppImage soon?

All the best, Chris

I've been working on getting reliable AppImages for Minetest for a few days now. I will likely try to get a PR going once all the configuration tweaks are worked out (hopefully with TravisCI integration assuming no devs disagree with using it for builds).

(Sorry for the late reply; I didn't get a notification)

ChrisWere; I've just released Minetest 5.1.1 AppImages.

Thanks for the AppImage for MT 5.2.0, but I got into problem running it on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. When executing it complains about /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi.so.3, it might be missing or a library that depends on it might be missing too. This is an error I get when running it

Code: Select all

/tmp/.mount_MineteDt7sYG/usr/bin/minetest-x86_64.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi.so.3: undefined symbol: rk_memset_s, version HEIMDAL_ROKEN_1.0

I've packaged Minetest 5.3.0-dev (454dbf8) as an AppImage. It can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/An0n3m0us/Minetest-A ... /5.3.0-dev

Minetest 5.2.0 AppImages have been updated to work on Ubuntu 20.04 and should work on Fedora 32 and Manjaro 20.0 too.

Thank you for this :)

Thanks for this. It's perfect since it can be run in portable mode, meaning i can keep my older versions of MT also. I had been looking at different solutions for this, but this is the best, and was right here all the time.

[An0n3m0us]

@Oil_boi @goats You're welcome!

I'm currently automating the process as it's all manual, except for the compiling process :P
