Installation instructions for GNU Midnight Commander
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
||||
various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and creates
|
||||
the makefiles. It also creates a file `config.status' that you can run
|
||||
in the future to recreate the current configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile this package:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure the package for your system.
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, you just `cd' to the directory containing the package's source
|
||||
code and type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old version of
|
||||
SystemV, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to prevent `csh'
|
||||
from trying to execute `configure' itself. Under AIX, you may need to
|
||||
use ksh instead of sh.
|
||||
|
||||
Running `configure' takes a while. While it is running, it prints some
|
||||
messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to see any
|
||||
messages, run `configure' with the `--quiet' option.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the package in a different directory than the one containing
|
||||
the source code, you must use a version of `make' supporting the `VPATH'
|
||||
variable, such as GNU `make'. Change to the directory where you want
|
||||
the object files and executables to go and run the `configure' script
|
||||
with the full path. If for some reason `configure' cannot find the
|
||||
source code directory, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR',
|
||||
where DIR is the directory that contains the source code.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
|
||||
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
|
||||
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
|
||||
option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture specific
|
||||
files and architecture-independent files. If you give `configure' the
|
||||
option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use PATH as the prefix for
|
||||
installing binary programs and libraries. Data files and documentation
|
||||
will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files are installed
|
||||
using the same prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
If compiled on GNU/Linux, Midnight Commander detects if you have the gpm
|
||||
library installed. If you installed the gpm mouse library in a
|
||||
non-standard place, you will need to use the --with-gpm-mouse flag with
|
||||
the directory base where you installed the gpm package.
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' recognizes the following options (the list may be
|
||||
incomplete, use `configure --help' to get the full list):
|
||||
|
||||
`--help'
|
||||
Print a summary of the options to `configure' and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--quiet'
|
||||
`--silent'
|
||||
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
|
||||
|
||||
`--verbose'
|
||||
Print the results of the checks.
|
||||
|
||||
`--version'
|
||||
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
||||
script, and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-edit'
|
||||
Configure GNU Midnight Commander to be compiled without the
|
||||
built-in file editor. The built-in editor is compiled in by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-ext2undel'
|
||||
On systems that use the ext2 or ext3 file system and have the
|
||||
libext2fs library available, this option adds support for
|
||||
recovering deleted files (the undel virtual file system).
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-gpm-mouse'
|
||||
Use this flag to disable gpm mouse support (e.g. if you want to
|
||||
use mouse only on X terminals).
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-glib12'
|
||||
Force using glib 1.2.x even if glib 2.0.x is present. Use this
|
||||
flag for testing or if you want to use the binary on systems that
|
||||
don't have glib 2.0.x installed.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-glib-static'
|
||||
Force linking against glib statically. This option is intended for
|
||||
building binaries for distribution purposes and may not work on
|
||||
some operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-mmap', `--without-mmap'
|
||||
Force using or not using the mmap function. It is currently used
|
||||
in the internal viewer. `--with-mmap' may be useful on some
|
||||
versions of AIX where the `configure' script decides that mmap is
|
||||
broken, but it's actually suitable for the internal viewer.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-subshell[=optional]', `--without-subshell'
|
||||
The subshell support is by default turned on, you can disable
|
||||
this by using the --without-subshell option. If you pass the
|
||||
=optional parameter, then the subshell support is turned off by
|
||||
default. To turn it on, specify the `-U' option to the program.
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-x'
|
||||
By default, the Midnight Commander tries to connect to the X Window
|
||||
System events to query the status of the keyboard modifiers, such
|
||||
as Control, Shift and Alt, when invoked in a terminal emulator
|
||||
under X11. This is necessary (but not always sufficient) to
|
||||
recognize some optional but handy key combinations like Ctrl-Home
|
||||
and Shift-Cursor keys. Use `--without-x' if the dependency on
|
||||
X11 libraries is not desired.
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-vfs'
|
||||
This option disables the Virtual File System switch code in the
|
||||
Midnight Commander and uses the standard file system calls for
|
||||
file access. If you specify this option, you won't get the
|
||||
transparent access to archives and remote directories.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-mcfs'
|
||||
This option enables mcfs - a non-standard remote filesystem
|
||||
designed specifically for the Midnight Commander. It also enables
|
||||
a server for that filesystem, mcserv. Please note that the
|
||||
implementation of mcfs is not optimized for speed. There may be
|
||||
security issues with mcserv - don't run it if you don't need it.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-samba'
|
||||
This option enables remote VFS over the SMB protocol. A stripped
|
||||
down version of samba distributed with the sources is compiled and
|
||||
linked with the mc executable. It is recommended that you install
|
||||
Samba client, since mc uses some files from Samba under certain
|
||||
conditions. Please visit http://www.samba.org/ to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
`--disable-largefile'
|
||||
This option disables support for large files (2 gigabytes and more)
|
||||
on the systems where file operations use 32-bit offsets by default,
|
||||
but support for 64-bit offsets is available. May be useful for
|
||||
slow processors and embedded systems.
|
||||
|
||||
`--enable-charset'
|
||||
This option adds support for selecting character set of the text in
|
||||
the internal viewer and editor and converting it on the fly. The
|
||||
implementation of this option is currently incomplete.
|
||||
|
||||
`--disable-background'
|
||||
This option disables support for background operations. Background
|
||||
operations allow to perform some tasks such as copying files in a
|
||||
separate background process. Any messages from the background
|
||||
process are forwarded to the foreground process. More advanced
|
||||
dialogs cannot be forwarded yet, so the background process uses the
|
||||
default. Background code is known to be less stable than the rest
|
||||
of the code, so you may want to disable it at the compile time.
|
||||
|
||||
`--disable-netcode'
|
||||
This option disables support for networked virtual filesystems.
|
||||
It's primarily used by developers to make sure that the code would
|
||||
compile and run on operating systems that lack POSIX compatible
|
||||
network support. But you can use it is you know that you won't be
|
||||
accessing remote filesystems from GNU Midnight Commander.
|
||||
|
||||
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-screen={slang|ncurses}'
|
||||
Choose the library used to manage interaction with the terminal.
|
||||
`slang' means S-Lang library already installed on the system,
|
||||
`ncurses' means ncurses library already installed on the system.
|
||||
The installed S-Lang library is used by default if found.
|
||||
|
||||
On systems that require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
||||
the package's `configure' script does not know about, you can give
|
||||
`configure' initial values for variables by placing them in the command
|
||||
line:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the variables that you might want to override when running
|
||||
`configure'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: CC
|
||||
C compiler program. The default is `gcc' if found, otherwise `cc'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: CFLAGS
|
||||
The default flags used to build the program.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: INSTALL
|
||||
Program to use to install files. The default is `install' if you
|
||||
have it, `cp' otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
For these variables, any value given in the command line is added to the
|
||||
value that `configure' decides to use:
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: LIBS
|
||||
Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar...'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: LDFLAGS
|
||||
Linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
|
||||
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: CPPFLAGS
|
||||
C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
|
||||
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage
|
||||
you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and
|
||||
mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we can
|
||||
include them in the next release.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and the
|
||||
documentation. On GNU/Linux the console screen saver is installed as
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source
|
||||
directory by typing `make clean'. If you want to clean the source tree
|
||||
completely, so that it contains only those files that should be packaged
|
||||
in the archive, issue `make distclean'. If you've run configure in a
|
||||
different directory than the source tree, distclean won't remove your
|
||||
*.o and linked programs in that directory.
|
||||
|
||||
5. GNU Midnight Commander allows you to stay in the last current
|
||||
directory after exiting MC. This is done with a shell function, the man
|
||||
page has more information about this.
|
||||
|
||||
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
||||
called `autoconf'. You only need it if you want to regenerate
|
||||
`configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
i386-*-bsdi2
|
||||
i386-*-freebsd4.3
|
||||
i386-*-openbsd2.9
|
||||
|
||||
Midnight Commander is written in a portable manner and uses GNU Autoconf
|
||||
for configuration, so it is expected to compile without changes on many
|
||||
other operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need an ANSI C Compiler (such as GCC) and glib library to
|
||||
compile the source. GNU Midnight Commander now comes with the S-Lang
|
||||
screen manager, a fast screen manager, but you may want to use the
|
||||
already installed S-Lang or ncurses library.
|
||||
|
||||
If you insist on using ncurses, it's recommended to use ncurses 4.1 and
|
||||
above, since the older versions don't support resizing in the xterm
|
||||
window.
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander comes with the mouse support on xterms and in the
|
||||
Linux console. In order to take advantage of the mouse support on the
|
||||
Linux console you will need the gpm mouse server (see the section
|
||||
"Obtaining related software" in this file).
|
||||
|
||||
Once you get gpm, compile it and install it, then you will have to
|
||||
specify the `--with-gpm-mouse' flag to the configure program if you
|
||||
installed it in a non-standard directory. If you installed the gpm
|
||||
package under /usr or /usr/local, you don't need to specify this flag;
|
||||
configure will find gpm for you. The support for mice on xterms is
|
||||
always compiled in.
|
||||
|
||||
We are working on further enhancements to the program, but we're not
|
||||
sure which ones must go first. If you would like to point us in the
|
||||
Right Direction we will be glad to hear from you (you could check the
|
||||
file TODO included with this distribution for the current projects).
|
||||
|
||||
If you happen to find a feature that doesn't do what you expect, please
|
||||
write to mc@gnome.org telling as much as you can about the problem
|
||||
you're experiencing. Please don't send personal messages to the
|
||||
maintainers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Obtaining related software
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
glib
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
The only "hard" dependency of GNU Midnight Commander is glib. You can
|
||||
get glib from
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/
|
||||
|
||||
Note that only versions 1.2.x and 2.0.x are supported. Newer versions
|
||||
may work, but haven't been tested.
|
||||
|
||||
Terminal database
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are many incomplete terminal databases out there, however, a
|
||||
complete terminfo is bundled with ncurses. (It is simple to generate
|
||||
the termcap database using the infocmp utility in ncurses).
|
||||
|
||||
Some terminfo data are included with the mc distribution (lib/*.ti).
|
||||
Particularly linux, xterm and vt100. Use e.g. ''tic linux.ti'' to use
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run mc on xterm/color_xterm/ansi_xterm (not rxvt), then
|
||||
you might read lib/README.xterm for further information.
|
||||
|
||||
Screen libraries
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander can use the included version of S-Lang, but you
|
||||
can get the latest version here:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.s-lang.org/
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use ncurses:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The general purpose mouse (gpm) daemon is available from
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://arcana.linux.it/pub/gpm/
|
||||
|
||||
Compiler
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If your C compiler is not powerful enough to compile GNU Midnight
|
||||
Commander, you should report is as a bug to the GNU Midnight Commander
|
||||
team. Sometimes there is no solution than upgrading to a modern and
|
||||
free compiler - GCC (Compiler Collection):

Installation instructions for GNU Midnight Commander
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
||||
various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and creates
|
||||
the makefiles. It also creates a file `config.status' that you can run
|
||||
in the future to recreate the current configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile this package:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure the package for your system.
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, you just `cd' to the directory containing the package's source
|
||||
code and type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old version of
|
||||
SystemV, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to prevent `csh'
|
||||
from trying to execute `configure' itself. Under AIX, you may need to
|
||||
use ksh instead of sh.
|
||||
|
||||
Running `configure' takes a while. While it is running, it prints some
|
||||
messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to see any
|
||||
messages, run `configure' with the `--quiet' option.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the package in a different directory than the one containing
|
||||
the source code, you must use a version of `make' supporting the `VPATH'
|
||||
variable, such as GNU `make'. Change to the directory where you want
|
||||
the object files and executables to go and run the `configure' script
|
||||
with the full path. If for some reason `configure' cannot find the
|
||||
source code directory, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR',
|
||||
where DIR is the directory that contains the source code.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
|
||||
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
|
||||
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
|
||||
option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture specific
|
||||
files and architecture-independent files. If you give `configure' the
|
||||
option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use PATH as the prefix for
|
||||
installing binary programs and libraries. Data files and documentation
|
||||
will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files are installed
|
||||
using the same prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
If compiled on GNU/Linux, Midnight Commander detects if you have the gpm
|
||||
library installed. If you installed the gpm mouse library in a
|
||||
non-standard place, you will need to use the --with-gpm-mouse flag with
|
||||
the directory base where you installed the gpm package.
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' recognizes the following options (the list may be
|
||||
incomplete, use `configure --help' to get the full list):
|
||||
|
||||
`--help'
|
||||
Print a summary of the options to `configure' and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--quiet'
|
||||
`--silent'
|
||||
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
|
||||
|
||||
`--verbose'
|
||||
Print the results of the checks.
|
||||
|
||||
`--version'
|
||||
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
||||
script, and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-edit'
|
||||
Configure GNU Midnight Commander to be compiled without the
|
||||
built-in file editor. The built-in editor is compiled in by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-ext2undel'
|
||||
On systems that use the ext2 or ext3 file system and have the
|
||||
libext2fs library available, this option adds support for
|
||||
recovering deleted files (the undel virtual file system).
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-gpm-mouse'
|
||||
Use this flag to disable gpm mouse support (e.g. if you want to
|
||||
use mouse only on X terminals).
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-glib12'
|
||||
Force using glib 1.2.x even if glib 2.0.x is present. Use this
|
||||
flag for testing or if you want to use the binary on systems that
|
||||
don't have glib 2.0.x installed.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-glib-static'
|
||||
Force linking against glib statically. This option is intended for
|
||||
building binaries for distribution purposes and may not work on
|
||||
some operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-mmap', `--without-mmap'
|
||||
Force using or not using the mmap function. It is currently used
|
||||
in the internal viewer. `--with-mmap' may be useful on some
|
||||
versions of AIX where the `configure' script decides that mmap is
|
||||
broken, but it's actually suitable for the internal viewer.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-subshell[=optional]', `--without-subshell'
|
||||
The subshell support is by default turned on, you can disable
|
||||
this by using the --without-subshell option. If you pass the
|
||||
=optional parameter, then the subshell support is turned off by
|
||||
default. To turn it on, specify the `-U' option to the program.
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-x'
|
||||
By default, the Midnight Commander tries to connect to the X Window
|
||||
System events to query the status of the keyboard modifiers, such
|
||||
as Control, Shift and Alt, when invoked in a terminal emulator
|
||||
under X11. This is necessary (but not always sufficient) to
|
||||
recognize some optional but handy key combinations like Ctrl-Home
|
||||
and Shift-Cursor keys. Use `--without-x' if the dependency on
|
||||
X11 libraries is not desired.
|
||||
|
||||
`--without-vfs'
|
||||
This option disables the Virtual File System switch code in the
|
||||
Midnight Commander and uses the standard file system calls for
|
||||
file access. If you specify this option, you won't get the
|
||||
transparent access to archives and remote directories.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-mcfs'
|
||||
This option enables mcfs - a non-standard remote filesystem
|
||||
designed specifically for the Midnight Commander. It also enables
|
||||
a server for that filesystem, mcserv. Please note that the
|
||||
implementation of mcfs is not optimized for speed. There may be
|
||||
security issues with mcserv - don't run it if you don't need it.
|
||||
|
||||
`--with-samba'
|
||||
This option enables remote VFS over the SMB protocol. A stripped
|
||||
down version of samba distributed with the sources is compiled and
|
||||
linked with the mc executable. It is recommended that you install
|
||||
Samba client, since mc uses some files from Samba under certain
|
||||
conditions. Please visit http://www.samba.org/ to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
`--disable-largefile'
|
||||
This option disables support for large files (2 gigabytes and more)
|
||||
on the systems where file operations use 32-bit offsets by default,
|
||||
but support for 64-bit offsets is available. May be useful for
|
||||
slow processors and embedded systems.
|
||||
|
||||
`--enable-charset'
|
||||
This option adds support for selecting character set of the text in
|
||||
the internal viewer and editor and converting it on the fly. The
|
||||
implementation of this option is currently incomplete.
|
||||
|
||||
`--disable-background'
|
||||
This option disables support for background operations. Background
|
||||
operations allow to perform some tasks such as copying files in a
|
||||
separate background process. Any messages from the background
|
||||
process are forwarded to the foreground process. More advanced
|
||||
dialogs cannot be forwarded yet, so the background process uses the
|
||||
default. Background code is known to be less stable than the rest
|
||||
of the code, so you may want to disable it at the compile time.
|
||||
|
||||
`--disable-netcode'
|
||||
This option disables support for networked virtual filesystems.
|
||||
It's primarily used by developers to make sure that the code would
|
||||
compile and run on operating systems that lack POSIX compatible
|
||||
network support. But you can use it is you know that you won't be
|
||||
accessing remote filesystems from GNU Midnight Commander.
|
||||
|
||||
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-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.
|
||||
|
||||
`--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.
|
||||
|
||||
On systems that require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
||||
the package's `configure' script does not know about, you can give
|
||||
`configure' initial values for variables by placing them in the command
|
||||
line:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the variables that you might want to override when running
|
||||
`configure'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: CC
|
||||
C compiler program. The default is `gcc' if found, otherwise `cc'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: CFLAGS
|
||||
The default flags used to build the program.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: INSTALL
|
||||
Program to use to install files. The default is `install' if you
|
||||
have it, `cp' otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
For these variables, any value given in the command line is added to the
|
||||
value that `configure' decides to use:
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: LIBS
|
||||
Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar...'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: LDFLAGS
|
||||
Linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
|
||||
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
|
||||
|
||||
- Variable: CPPFLAGS
|
||||
C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
|
||||
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage
|
||||
you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and
|
||||
mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we can
|
||||
include them in the next release.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and the
|
||||
documentation. On GNU/Linux the console screen saver is installed as
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source
|
||||
directory by typing `make clean'. If you want to clean the source tree
|
||||
completely, so that it contains only those files that should be packaged
|
||||
in the archive, issue `make distclean'. If you've run configure in a
|
||||
different directory than the source tree, distclean won't remove your
|
||||
*.o and linked programs in that directory.
|
||||
|
||||
5. GNU Midnight Commander allows you to stay in the last current
|
||||
directory after exiting MC. This is done with a shell function, the man
|
||||
page has more information about this.
|
||||
|
||||
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
||||
called `autoconf'. You only need it if you want to regenerate
|
||||
`configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
||||

Notes about GNU Midnight Commander installation
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
i386-*-freebsd4.3
|
||||
i386-*-openbsd2.9
|
||||
|
||||
Midnight Commander is written in a portable manner and uses GNU Autoconf
|
||||
for configuration, so it is expected to compile without changes on many
|
||||
other operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need an ANSI C Compiler (such as GCC) and glib library to
|
||||
compile the source. GNU Midnight Commander now comes with the S-Lang
|
||||
screen manager, a fast screen manager, but you may want to use the
|
||||
already installed S-Lang or ncurses library.
|
||||
|
||||
If you insist on using ncurses, it's recommended to use ncurses 4.1 and
|
||||
above, since the older versions don't support resizing in the xterm
|
||||
window.
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander comes with the mouse support on xterms and in the
|
||||
Linux console. In order to take advantage of the mouse support on the
|
||||
Linux console you will need the gpm mouse server (see the section
|
||||
"Obtaining related software" in this file).
|
||||
|
||||
Once you get gpm, compile it and install it, then you will have to
|
||||
specify the `--with-gpm-mouse' flag to the configure program if you
|
||||
installed it in a non-standard directory. If you installed the gpm
|
||||
package under /usr or /usr/local, you don't need to specify this flag;
|
||||
configure will find gpm for you. The support for mice on xterms is
|
||||
always compiled in.
|
||||
|
||||
We are working on further enhancements to the program, but we're not
|
||||
sure which ones must go first. If you would like to point us in the
|
||||
Right Direction we will be glad to hear from you (you could check the
|
||||
file TODO included with this distribution for the current projects).
|
||||
|
||||
If you happen to find a feature that doesn't do what you expect, please
|
||||
write to mc@gnome.org telling as much as you can about the problem
|
||||
you're experiencing. Please don't send personal messages to the
|
||||
maintainers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Obtaining related software
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
glib
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
The only "hard" dependency of GNU Midnight Commander is glib. You can
|
||||
get glib from
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/
|
||||
|
||||
Note that only versions 1.2.x and 2.0.x are supported. Newer versions
|
||||
may work, but haven't been tested.
|
||||
|
||||
Terminal database
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are many incomplete terminal databases out there, however, a
|
||||
complete terminfo is bundled with ncurses. (It is simple to generate
|
||||
the termcap database using the infocmp utility in ncurses).
|
||||
|
||||
Some terminfo data are included with the mc distribution (lib/*.ti).
|
||||
Particularly linux, xterm and vt100. Use e.g. ''tic linux.ti'' to use
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run mc on xterm/color_xterm/ansi_xterm (not rxvt), then
|
||||
you might read lib/README.xterm for further information.
|
||||
|
||||
Screen libraries
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander can use the included version of S-Lang, but you
|
||||
can get the latest version here:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.s-lang.org/
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use ncurses:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The general purpose mouse (gpm) daemon is available from
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://arcana.linux.it/pub/gpm/
|
||||
|
||||
Compiler
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If your C compiler is not powerful enough to compile GNU Midnight
|
||||
Commander, you should report is as a bug to the GNU Midnight Commander
|
||||
team. Sometimes there is no solution than upgrading to a modern and
|
||||
free compiler - GCC (Compiler Collection):

|
||||
- Mask rename and copy.
|
||||
- Colors now let you specify the intensity of the colors you want.
|
||||
|
||||
This is being worked on:
|
||||

|
||||
menu.

||||
the other panel on the idle time.

Tree view: let's you browse your directories by traveling a tree.
|
||||
We have two traveling modes available. And the tree does
|
||||
not take your precious time: it's build on the fly, as you
|
||||
browse your disk (you can always loose your time if you
|
||||
want to :-).
|
||||
|
||||
Info view: Gives you information on the currently select file and
|
||||
the current file system as you move.

on the fly decompression (and we don't eat unneeded cycles of CPU),
|
||||
allow non gunzip operation.
|
||||
|
||||
- Internal move command:
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we don't rely anymore on system commands in /bin, so the
|
||||
program is more robust and is much faster. Bunches of code come
|
||||
from the GNU fileutils.
|
||||
|
||||
- The Tree view and normal views allows wrapped incremental searches of
|
||||
file names.
|
||||
|
||||
- Mask rename:
|
||||
|
||||
Now it's possible to do things like rename *.pas in *.bak
|
||||
|
||||
- Compare directories command
|
||||
|
||||
- Allow panels to be in Long mode without forcing the user to a single panel.
|
||||
|
||||
(You can even have two long panels).
|
||||
|
||||
- F10, C-g cancels as well as ESC ESC.
|
||||
|
||||
- Improved help system.
|
||||
|
||||
We updated and spelled the help system and added a lots of links.
|
||||
The Web page is constructed with the same tools.
|
||||
|
||||
- Allows tagging of directories:
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can copy, rename, move and delete complete directories. You
|
||||
are not limited anymore to files.
|
||||
|
||||
- View output (screen save/restore) on Linux console.
|
||||
|
||||
On old Linux systems, only b&w is supported, on newer Linux systems
|
||||
(1.1.67 and newer), we also support color screen save/restore and
|
||||
cursor positions.
|
||||
|
||||
- 8 bit clean support.
|
||||
|
||||
- Visual feedback while i-searching files.
|
||||
|
||||
- Much more intuitive, you have to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
- It's better than aspirin.
|
||||
|
||||
- New memory allocation debugger.
|
||||
|
||||
During testing time, we used a powerful memory allocation debugger,
|
||||
so the program will not eat all your memory, and will make a good use of
|
||||
your memory.
|
||||
|
||||
- Now it also runs on hppa-hp-hpux9, hppa-hp-hpux7, m68k-apple-aux and
|
||||
sparc-sun-netbsd1.0. The best platform to run it is Linux, of course,
|
||||
since that's where most of us develop it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Inode sort option.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nice progress status indicator.
|
||||
|
||||
We have two of them: a moving dash indicator and a progress bar
|
||||
indicator for file operations.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 0.15
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses GNU autoconf.
|
||||
Currently, it has been ported to this configurations:
|
||||
i386-*-linux1.0
|
||||
i386-*-linux1.1
|
||||
mips-sgi-irix5.2
|
||||
mips-dec-ultrix4.3
|
||||
rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5
|
||||
sparc-sun-sunos4.1
|
||||
sparc-sun-solaris2.3
|
||||
|
||||
- Improvements to the internal file viewer:
|
||||
Wrap/Unwrap mode.
|
||||
Hex mode.
|
||||
Hex searches.
|
||||
Now you can view compressed files (gzip, compress, zip, pack and lzh).
|
||||
Performance enhancements, now it's much faster.
|
||||
Works on systems without mmap.
|
||||
|
||||
- Mouse Support now also works on xterms.
|
||||
If you run in the Linux console, you will still need the gpm mouse server
|
||||
to use the mouse support, but if you use xterms, then you're lucky
|
||||
and can use the mouse support when using xterms.
|
||||
|
||||
- Help system and man page.
|
||||
Both were updated and has many more hypertext links inside, the
|
||||
help system can also be used with a mouse.
|
||||
|
||||
- If running on xterms, now you can see the output of the last program
|
||||
you ran by using the C-o key combination.
|
||||
|
||||
- Switch panels command (C-u)
|
||||
- With filter command per panel.
|
||||
- With auto mounting/umounting on chdir feature.
|
||||
- cd now expands tildes (~, ~user).
|
||||
- Much more portable.
|
||||
- Many bugs were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 0.14

|
||||
over letters and numbers.
|

Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander (also referred to as MC) is a user shell with
|
||||
text-mode full-screen interface. It can be run on the OS console,
|
||||
in xterm and other terminal emulators.
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander allows you to manage files while making most of
|
||||
you screen and giving you a clear representation of the filesystem, yet
|
||||
it's simple enough to be run over a telnet or ssh session.
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander is released under the GNU General Public
|
||||
License version 2.0 or any later version. A copy of the file is
|
||||
included with this distribution package.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the GNU Midnight Commander you need to have a copy of the
|
||||
glib library version 1.2.x or 2.0.x, available at
|
||||
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Features
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Midnight Commander was conceived as a free clone of John Socha's
|
||||
Norton Commander (TM). It also takes the best from more recent software
|
||||
with similar interfaces. GNU Midnight Commander comes with mouse support
|
||||
on xterm and optionally on the Linux console.
|
||||
|
||||
Some features are specific to the POSIX environment MC runs on, some are
|
||||
familiar to the users of similar software for other operating systems.
|
||||
The features include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Built in Virtual File System: manipulate remote file systems
|
||||
through the FTP and SMB protocols or over secure shell, browse
|
||||
contents of tar, ar, rpm, zip, cpio, lha and rar archives just
|
||||
like local files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Almost all operations work with the virtual file system,
|
||||
enabling you to do complex tasks, like viewing files in
|
||||
archives on an FTP server.
|
||||
|
||||
* Mouse support on most terminal emulators for X Window System
|
||||
as well as on the Linux console.
|
||||
|
||||
* Learn Keys: GNU Midnight Commander may be configured at run
|
||||
time to support any kind of input keys for a given terminal,
|
||||
making its operation possible even on most weird terminals.
|
||||
|
||||
* Text and hex editors are available for you to use (hex editor
|
||||
is a part of the viewer).
|
||||
|
||||
* Hotlist allows you to keep a list of common visited locations,
|
||||
including remote sites and directories inside archives.
|
||||
|
||||
* Command completion: By pressing Alt-Tab in any place where a
|
||||
filename or an executable are expected, GNU Midnight Commander
|
||||
will complete the name for you. If you press Alt-Tab for the
|
||||
second time, you get a list box with all possible completions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Subshell support: Run your commands by a real shell
|
||||
interpreter. GNU Midnight Commander interacts with bash,
|
||||
tcsh and zsh to provide you with all of the facilities
|
||||
available in your preferred shell.
|
||||
|
||||
* Find file command can search for the file contents.
|
||||
|
||||
* Background operations allow you to copy or move files from
|
||||
any virtual file system while you do other tasks (i.e., you
|
||||
can do background FTP copies).
|
||||
|
||||
* FTP proxy is supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* Linux file recovery: If you are using Linux, you can recover
|
||||
deleted files from an ext2 or ext3 partition with the undelete
|
||||
file system. This is a low level file recovery function that
|
||||
can recover files deleted by any program on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
* External panelization: You can run any arbitrary external
|
||||
command and GNU Midnight Commander will display the output
|
||||
generated as a file listing that can be manipulated as a
|
||||
regular directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* Emacs-like key bindings are used in all widgets.
|
||||
|
||||
* Context dependent actions (open, view, edit) are available.
|
||||
|
||||
* The built-in file viewer, together with the context dependent
|
||||
actions is used to format man pages on the fly, coloring mail
|
||||
messages and more.
|
||||
|
||||
* The built-in editor supports syntax highlighting and external
|
||||
actions, such as spell checking and formatting.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Mini-documentation
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
These are hints for the text mode edition:
|
||||
|
||||
* Use the F-Keys for invoking the commands in the function key bar.
|
||||
If your terminal doesn't support F-keys, you can use the <ESC digit>
|
||||
sequence to invoke the corresponding F-digit key.
|
||||
|
||||
* Tab changes the current panel.
|
||||
|
||||
* All input lines have emacs-like key-bindings (command history is
|
||||
accessed through the M-p and M-n keys).
|
||||
|
||||
* The panels accept C-n, C-p for browsing the panel (like in Emacs).
|
||||
|
||||
* M-Enter copies the currently selected file name to the input line.
|
||||
|
||||
* M-Tab completes the current word (or tries to).
|
||||
|
||||
* The Virtual File System is a cute addition to the project, you may
|
||||
browse in tar and compressed tar files as well as browsing remote
|
||||
machines with the mcfs file system.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please read the manual page.
|
||||
|
||||
* Read the file TODO for the current projects.
|
||||
|
||||
You can access the whole documentation online with the F1 key,
|
||||
although it's not as nice as the groff printed manual page :-)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Please don't sent HTML e-mail to either of those mailing lists.
|
||||
|
||||
Include the output of "mc --version", the operating system and the
|
||||
