FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi,

I am in the process of migrating the codebase for my mod from Minecraft (1.5.2) to Minetest, and have just completed the build process following the wiki instructions, (http://dev.minetest.net/Compiling_Minetest).

I have the exact versions of libraries from the tutorial above.
Windows 7 x64 - Visual studio 2015

Once I start the newly built .exe file, the command line says the following on the first line -
ERROR[Main]: Subgame specified in default_game [minetest] is invalid.

Could someone please tell me what I am missing here.

Thanks a lot in advance !

Did you download the Minetest game https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git before building (this is in the steps.)? If you did go to minetest/games and make sure that there is minetest_game in there, make sure it's named properly to.
If I read the error correctly then it looks like it isn't named correctly (it should named minetest_game).
Edit: Fixed grammar
