It's
I'm assuming you don't have a desktop environment, otherwise you would have just dropped the folder into the terminal. ;-)
It's
Code: Select all
cd ~/minetest-minetest-286edd4/

Sorry, but this isn't a bug in minetest, you just typed in the command wrong. Learn how to use the terminal first, then come back here if you find any bugs.331dr311 wrote:i am trying to compile minetest on ubuntu 12.04. when i type cd minetest-minetest-286edd4 into the terminal i get, -bash: cd: minetest-minetest-286edd4: No such file or directory. pls help!

Back from the dead!
Don't type, use copy and paste. It prevents you from making annoying typing errors. But actually not this one line!
The example says: cd minetest-minetest-286edd4 (or similar)
Why 'or similar'? Because each new minetest version on GithHub has a different number combination.
So
- type in your terminal: cd (with a space behind it)
- then go to your filemanager
- look for the latest created folder with a name like this /home/331dr311/minetest-minetest-382357d
- right click it, choose rename, normally the whole name is 'selected' so you only need to copy it. Choose cancel after copying the name.
- paste the name behind cd like this:
cd minetest-minetest-382357d
P.s. the latest minetest name is at the moment "minetest-minetest-382357d"

Why compile, when you can get the latest from the ubuntu daily-builds
copy and paste the following into a terminal
(if you go to upgrade to 12.10, 13.04 or 13.10 replace precise with either quantal for 12.10, raring for 13.04 or saucy for 13.10)
after you have added the repository
type
then finally
copy and paste the following into a terminal
Code: Select all
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/minetestdevs/daily-builds/ubuntu precise main"
(if you go to upgrade to 12.10, 13.04 or 13.10 replace precise with either quantal for 12.10, raring for 13.04 or saucy for 13.10)
after you have added the repository
type
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install minetestc55
