You may also tell configure which display library you want to use with the
Midnight Commander. The configure script will use S-Lang as default, but
you can override this by using any of the following flags (please note
that S-Lang is included as part of the distribution and is tested much
better than ncurses),
You may also tell configure which screen library you want to use with
the Midnight Commander. The configure script will use S-Lang as
default, and prefers an already installed S-Lang library over the
included one, but you can override this by using the following flag
(please note that since S-Lang is default, it is tested better than
ncurses):
`--with-slang' (default)
This is used to configure the program to use the S-Lang screen
library. This is included as part of GNU Midnight Commander,
you don't need it installed on your system. If S-Lang is installed
on your system it will be used if possible. You can force usage of
the included S-Lang with the `--with-included-slang' option.
`--with-screen={slang|mcslang|ncurses}'
Choose the library used to manage interaction with the terminal.
`slang' means S-Lang library already installed on the system,
`mcslang' means S-Lang library included with the sources of
GNU Midnight Commander, `ncurses' means ncurses library already
installed on the system. The installed S-Lang library is used
by default if found, otherwise the included S-Lang library is
used.
S-Lang tries to use the terminfo database if it's available,
otherwise it uses the termcap database. At the compile time, you
may force using the termcap database by using the option
`--with-termcap', which also enables `--with-included-slang'.
`--with-ncurses[=PATH]'
Use this flag (either with or without the =PATH part) if
you want to compile with ncurses instead of the default S-Lang.
Use the =PATH part if ncurses cannot be found by the configure
script. The configure will append lib and include to PATH to find
the ncurses library and headers respectively. For example, if you
have installed ncurses under /gnu/lib and /gnu/include, you
specify `--with-ncurses=/gnu'
`--with-termcap'
If the included S-Lang library is used, this option forces it to
use the termcap database, as opposed to the default terminfo
database.

@ -24,25 +24,14 @@ The most often needed options to configure are following:
You can specify an installation prefix other than default by
giving `configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'.
`--with-included-slang'
Use the included S-Lang sources rather than any installed
S-Lang library. The included library is rather old, but it
works fine on most terminals.
`--with-ncurses[=PATH]'
Use the flag without =PATH if you want to compile with ncurses
Use this flag with =PATH part if you want to compile with
ncurses, and your ncurses is not installed in any of the places
configure normally checks. The configure script will append
`lib' and `include' to find the libncurses.a and ncurses.h files
respectively.
`--with-gpm-mouse[=PATH]'
Use this flag if your GPM mouse package cannot be detected by the
configure. Use =PATH if it is installed in a non-standard place.
The configure will append `lib' and `include' to find the libgpm.a
and gpm.h files respectively. Note that GPM is only available on
GNU/Linux systems.
`--with-screen={slang|mcslang|ncurses}'
Choose the library used to manage interaction with the terminal.
`slang' means S-Lang library already installed on the system,
`mcslang' means S-Lang library included with the sources of
GNU Midnight Commander, `ncurses' means ncurses library already
installed on the system. The installed S-Lang library is used
by default if found, otherwise the included S-Lang library is
used.
You may also want to specify CFLAGS for the compiler, even if it finds
itself some defaults by typing e.g.
