IrrlichtMt version 1.9

IrrlichtMt is the 3D engine of Minetest. It is based on the Irrlicht Engine but is now developed independently. It is intentionally not compatible to upstream and is planned to be eventually absorbed into Minetest.

Build

The build system is CMake.

The following libraries are required to be installed:

• zlib, libPNG, libJPEG
• OpenGL
  • or on mobile: OpenGL ES (can be optionally enabled on desktop too)
• on Unix: X11
• SDL2 (see below)

Aside from standard search options (ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR, ZLIB_LIBRARY, ...) the following options are available:

• ENABLE_OPENGL - Enable OpenGL driver
• ENABLE_OPENGL3 (default: OFF) - Enable OpenGL 3+ driver
• ENABLE_GLES1 - Enable OpenGL ES driver, legacy
• ENABLE_GLES2 - Enable OpenGL ES 2+ driver
• USE_SDL2 (default: platform-dependent, usually ON) - Use SDL2 instead of older native device code

However, IrrlichtMt cannot be built or installed separately.

Platforms

We aim to support these platforms:

• Windows via MinGW
• Linux (GL or GLES)
• macOS
• Android

This doesn't mean other platforms don't work or won't be supported, if you find something that doesn't work contributions are welcome.

License

The license of the Irrlicht Engine is based on the zlib/libpng license and applies to this fork, too.
