GNU Midnight Commander requires glib2.
|
|
|
|
GNU Midnight Commander uses the S-Lang screen library by default. It
|
|
tries the S-Lang library installed on the system. If it's not found,
|
|
the included S-Lang sources are used. It is also possible to use
|
|
ncurses as the screen library.
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the package for your system.
|
|
|
|
Normally, you just `cd' to the package main directory and type
|
|
`./configure'.
|
|
|
|
The most often needed options to configure are following:
|
|
|
|
`--prefix=PATH'
|
|
By default, `make install' will install the package's files
|
|
in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. or to `/usr/bin',
|
|
`/usr/man', etc. depending on the location of an old mc binary.
|
|
If you have none in your system, default will be `/usr/local'.
|
|
You can specify an installation prefix other than default by
|
|
giving `configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
|
|
|
`--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.
|
|
|
|
You may also want to specify CFLAGS for the compiler, even if it finds
|
|
itself some defaults by typing e.g.
|
|
|
|
./configure CFLAGS=-O3
|
|
|
|
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
|
|
|
3. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and
|
|
documentation. You may need to run this command as root.
|
|
|
|
If you're on a GNU/Linux system, this will install the `cons.saver'
|
|
utility, which allows the Midnight Commander to save and restore the
|
|
screen contents. This utility can be installed setuid root, but it's
|
|
only needed on systems where users cannot access /dev/vcsaN, where N is
|
|
the virtual console number, on which the uses is logged on.
|
|
|
|
If you're making a mc binary distribution for other people and want to
|
|
package the whole installed tree, use `make install DESTDIR=PATH', which
|
|
will make PATH the root for installation.
|
|
|
|
4. Type `mc' and enjoy!
