Make sure you have CMake, and of course, a C compiler,
on your system before proceeding.
For Windows, try MinGW32. For Unix-based systems, you
should not have any problems with the C compiler since there's one (almost)
always available. Puppy Linux users of course need
a separate devx.sfs (from the same place where you got the Puppy ISO),
since vanilla Puppy does not come with gcc. See your Puppy docs for more
info about how to install additional SFS files.
If you are impatient:
git clone https://github.com/kaeza/minetest-irc.git \
&& cd minetest-irc \
&& git submodule update --init \
&& ./quick_install.sh /path/to/mods
Please change /path/to/mods to fit your install of Minetest.
To compile and pack the mod:
- Open a command prompt/terminal and CD to the
minetest-irc directory.
- (optional) Create a directory named
Build, and CD into it.
- Run CMake to generate the build system (see your CMake docs for more
information about command line options, in particular the
-G option).
- Use the build tool for the generated build system to compile the
native library. For example, if using Microsoft Visual Studio, open
the generated workspace and build from there. If using make, just run
make from within the Build directory.
- After building you will have a folder named
irc in your build folder.
Move that to your mod folder.
Installing
Just put the created irc directory in any of the directories where
Minetest looks for mods. For more information, see
here.
