00:01 paramat nope, does not apply
00:35 paramat yet another mapgen bug fixed, feels good
00:41 proller joined #minetest-dev
01:02 paramat joined #minetest-dev
01:06 paramat will merge #7393 as trivial in 15 mins, as it's fairly simple and obvious, is mapgen, and is delaying something else i'm working on

07:48 nerzhul hello guys :)
07:49 nerzhul paramat we don't communicate about testing, but it's evident, and all those fixes has been tested on 0.5.0 by bug reported, i'm confident we won't have problems with that :)
07:51 Krock joined #minetest-dev
07:55 Krock Will merge game#2082 in 5 minutes with "there" removed

08:00 Krock Pushing..
09:00 ensonic joined #minetest-dev
09:31 ANAND joined #minetest-dev
10:39 ANAND joined #minetest-dev
10:41 ANAND Has anyone tried their hand at building backport-0.4 on Ubuntu 18.04 yet?
10:41 ANAND I'm getting a relatively new fatal error
10:41 ANAND lua.h: No such file or directory found
10:42 Sator joined #minetest-dev
10:43 ANAND hmm... same error when building the master branch too
10:44 Krock joined #minetest-dev
10:45 ANAND Followed instructions from http://dev.minetest.net/Compiling_Minetest
10:45 Krock ANAND, works fine here and Travis finds the stuff too
10:46 Krock however, maybe Travis/the buildbots take the systemwide Lua installation
10:47 ANAND I'll try Calinou's one-line script and let you know
10:47 ANAND Oh, the instructions in the dev.minetest.net don't include any dependencies with 'lua' in their names
10:51 Fixer joined #minetest-dev
10:54 entuland joined #minetest-dev
10:55 rubenwardy You need to set the Lua path manually
11:02 ANAND lua wasn't installed on my PC
11:03 ANAND Had to manually sudo apt install these: libluajit-5.1-dev, liblua5.1-0-dev
11:04 ANAND found these two from Calinou's one-line script, but couldn't find them in http://dev.minetest.net/Compiling_Minetest
11:04 ANAND Now, it's building....... 87%
11:04 ANAND so the above must've been the issue
11:06 lisac joined #minetest-dev
11:15 ANAND !!!
11:16 ANAND minetest (0.5.0-dev) executable now shows up as a shared library... ._.
11:17 crazyR joined #minetest-dev
11:19 crazyR_ joined #minetest-dev
11:27 Krock ANAND, chmod +x ./minetest && ./minetest
11:28 ANAND oh nice, works from the terminal
11:28 Beton joined #minetest-dev
11:28 ANAND but still perplexed over why it shows up as a shared library... o_O
11:32 ANAND I actually copy-pasted the whole dir from my 16.04 installation, so that might've been adding to this problem too...
11:33 sfan5 file managers like to falsely identify executables as shared libraries fyi
11:33 ANAND anyway to forcefully make them identify a file as executable?
11:34 nerzhul the only difference between them is one expose endpoits and other has en entrypoint :)
11:35 Calinou ANAND: executables being considered shared libraries is an issue I've seen in other projects (namely, Godot)
11:35 Calinou they still work fine anyway
11:35 Calinou sfan5: I think it also applies to the "file" command, not sure
11:35 ANAND Works fine from the terminal
11:36 Calinou I should rework the one-line script, probably turn it into a curl | sh thing
11:36 sfan5 Calinou: yes, libmime(?) or file is usually used in the background
11:36 Calinou of course, I'll put the endpoint on a GitHub repository so people can inspect it easily
11:36 Calinou this way I can make it longer, and therefore support more distributions
11:36 ANAND Yay! :)
11:37 ANAND Tbh, the incorrect identification doesn't matter to me - I use keyboard shortcuts or pin them to the dock anyways :D
11:37 nerzhul Calinou, yeah exactly unsecure things :p
11:37 nerzhul i think it's not good for mt :(
11:38 Wuzzy joined #minetest-dev
11:39 Calinou I think it's good for Minetest if it makes it easier to install the latest stable/dev version
11:39 Calinou copy-pasting the current script without understanding it is not any better in that respect
11:40 nerzhul for adding a repository why not, but compling ?
11:40 nerzhul Calinou appimage ?
11:41 Calinou that works too. I'd need to set up AppImage builds on GitLab CI again
11:41 Calinou (in my own repository, I don't feel like dealing with the GitLab mirror)
11:42 Calinou also, is it possible to build Minetest with GCC 8 (from a PPA) on Ubuntu 14.04 while linking libstdc++ and libgcc statically?
11:42 Calinou so that I can use modern GCC and run on old distros
11:43 Calinou this is what I do with my Godot builds, it works really well in practice but we have a single SCons flag to toggle static C++ linking
11:52 ANAND [Suggestion] Someone should put up 18.04 builds on the minetestdev/daily-builds ppa
11:53 ANAND Question: Can MT detect my minetest.conf in /home?
11:56 ensonic joined #minetest-dev
12:07 Calinou ANAND: `$HOME/.minetest/minetest.conf` is the default location
12:07 Calinou it's automatically created if running a non-in-place Minetest binary and there is none
12:35 ANAND Just re-checked, MT detects minetest.conf located in /home
12:36 ANAND *Very* useful if one has multiple run-in-place versions running side-by-side
12:37 VanessaE So.... if microsoft buys github, will MT be moved elsewhere, say gitlab?
12:37 sfan5 if were to ask me, definitely
12:38 sfan5 +you
12:39 VanessaE I might suggest you guys come up with a plan for this, just in case the rumors are true (and should come to pass)
12:40 ANAND MS wants to dip their fingers into anything that runs successfully... -_-
12:41 * ANAND hopes to not see "Microsoft buys Linux" in the news someday...
12:42 nerzhul VanessaE why ?
12:42 VanessaE nerzhul: embrace, extend, extinguish.  'nuff said?
12:42 ANAND lol

13:57 karamel Hello, I'm back into modding a few things and I've noted some changes to add to the documentation on dev.minetest.net, but I only have an account for wiki.minetest.net. Is it here that I can request for an account? (Do I have to ask Calinou?)
13:58 Krock Yes.
14:10 Calinou hi karamel :) PM me your email address (/msg Calinou <message>)
14:11 Calinou so I can create you an account
