Problems downloading the Cuberite precompiled S/W

Have/Had the same issues. Though on an RPi-B1. The archive is broken, it contains \0 values in or after the file list.

You can get the source from github and build it yourself. Which is probably not a bad idea for the Raspberry anyway.

On Raspbian, you may run into the same issue as me, since the gcc dependency is not properly checked. Cuberite has CLI flags that seem to require a gcc version > 4.6, so you need to install a newer version (4.8 ideally)

Here's a condensed version of what I did to get my cuberite server:

Code:

# Need to be root, otherwise prepend everything with sudo sudo -i # Get dependencies aptitude install screen cmake g++-4.8 gcc-4.8 git # if you already have a gcc/g++/cc installed, alter for your versions, you # should get the meaning # Skip this if you only have gcc 4.8+ update-alternatives --list gcc update-alternatives --list g++ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 100 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 460 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8 480 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 480 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8 480 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 460 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 460 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 480 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-4.6 460 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-4.8 480 # check proper versions are used gcc --version g++ --version cc --version # should report 4.8 # Create a new user for minecraft (please REALLY do this) useradd -m minecraft passwd minecraft

Connect as minecraft to your Pi:

Code:

# Login as minecraft # Compiling will take some time on the Pi, best do it in screen screen # Do everything in a subdirectory mkdir cuberite && cd cuberite # Get install script wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cuberite/cuberite/master/compile.sh # (DO NOT get easy_install, this only tries to download the broken zip) ./compile.sh # Wait for it, grab lunch, drink some beers, etc. Though the Pi2 is probably a lot faster # Now go into the actual server directory cd MCServer/MCSserver # Set a password for the webadmin interface nano webadmin.ini # Now you can run the server ./MCServer

What is the URL/Linux command to retrieve the source code? The Github descriptions are not very clear, at least to me.
