Description (last modified by Zweihorn (@Zweihorn))
MT 5.6.1 minetest Revision 1 provides better compatibility with other ports and greatly improves the overall performance of the Minetest App by providing particular options to the build of the port.
Ref PR
The long standing minetest port derived new versions by just bumping the sources and the checksums apparently. Certain defaults and specialities in the build seem to have been overlooked from the start of this almost historic port or have changed only upstream without maintenance over time. If not for the well maintained irrlichtmt port the unmaintained minetest port could be called rather outdated in some aspects. Anyway the resulting App is not optimal.
My cc to the maintainer of the irrlichtmt port is just for information. Naturally, combined with my most friendly thanks for his commitment.
(A) The new Portfile was tested and improved since MT 0.4+, MT 5+, MT 5.5.0 and MT 5.6.1. The current MT runs on Big Sur as a local port as was done with all the predecessors before on othe macOS versions respectively.
(B) The a.m. PR solves issue:
(C) I volunteer as new maintainer to this port.
(D) Please kindly note that I already advertised for MacPorts at the Minetest community in the past with at least some success.
Please have a look at:
- https://www.minetest.net/downloads/ --> macOS - MacPorts
My alter ego there is 'snoopy' and I got a new 'Zweihorn' account in parallel to my now re-opened old account at the MT Forum for technical reasons only.
(E)
- outdated -
(F)
- outdated -
(G) Please accept my sincere apologies in advance if I do not cover all aspects of your ticket process as I only came back recently after some longe break. Obviously, I have to make myself more familiar with MacPort internals again.

Stay tuned.
