Compiled to run in place on linux, minetestserver doesnt?

[RAPHAEL]

I compiled the latest unstable to run in place on linux and minetest does but minetestserver doesn't. Is there a way to get the minetestserver to run in place?

I did that.

$ apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev
Download source, extract:
$ wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
$ cd celeron55-minetest-286edd4 (or similar)
Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
$ make -j2

^^ that is the code I used to compile.

Have you tried running the server on the command line? You can then run the client any way you want and set the server address as localhost. Or you can just run the client with a blank server address and the server will be started in the background.

What I did was cd to the bin/ directory and run:
nohup ./minetestserver &

but it loaded the config files from the .minetest directory in home. I want it to run in place and use the config mods and such in the folder its in (/home/user/minetest)

[randomproof]

Do you get something like this when you run the server:

Code: Select all

steven@debian:~/working/minetest/bin$ ./minetestserver 
signal_handler_init()

path_data = /home/steven/working/minetest/bin/../data

After a lot of poking around it seems it was some kind of permission issue. Managed to get it fixed and now it runs in place. Sorry for bothering anyone about this.

I compiled with

Code: Select all

cmake -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 

and copied to ~/mtest bin and data folder, after running bin/minetestserver it generated world, etc properly in ~/mtest (not in .minetest)

So, show the log, as randomproof did

[sfan5]

I compiled with

Code: Select all

cmake -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 

CMake only generates the Makefile, it doesn't build

[mahho]

yeah, of course, after that, of course, make is going

[RAPHAEL]

Hmm seems it still isn't working right. Sometimes it works right and other times it doesn't. Makes no sense to me. One would think it would act the same all the time.

Some notes: The server and the computer compiled on are same distro same packages but different processor and specs. The distro is Linux Mint 12. The user compiled on is different than the user its run from. Permissions were changed. I will likely try on Sunday to compile on the server computer and see if it works. minetestserver runs fine and in place every time on the machine it was compiled on.

Looks like it's not compiled with run_in_place

[dannydark]

its always best to compile the server on the server machine if using a dedicated/remote server, also like mahho said the debug you pasted shows that you are not using a RUN_IN_PLACE build.
