This file contains special information for Midnight Commander for OS/2.

For more information about Midnight Commander, please read the original FAQ.

0. Hello
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This is the port of Midnight Commander to OS/2. I think it's now a
|
|
BETA version still with some unknown bugs, use it as your own risk!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Installation Instructions for binaries
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The default installation position for the binary files is D:\MC, just copy
|
|
all the files there and set the PATH to D:\MC. A small REXX program install.cmd
|
|
will help you create a desktop icon. With this version, using -S switch will
|
|
produce a batch file for you to change the directory to the last working place
|
|
upon exit. The batch file nc.cmd will demonstrate this feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Special notes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You can also change the drive with F11 and F12.
|
|
|
|
Known bugs:
|
|
- CTRL-C to external program not possible
|
|
- CTRL-O not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Operating System
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
I am using Warp 4 and IBM VisualAge C++ for this port. I don't think that
|
|
it is a problem to run it with OS/2 2.x, but I can not verify it.
|
|
Please drop me a mail and tell me how it works with the other OS versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. How to compile it
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
VisualAge C++ 3.0 was used for this port. You can recompile the program
|
|
with the following steps:
|
|
|
|
0. The source files are located in D:\work\mc\mc-3.5.xx\. You will have to
|
|
replace this string with your location in the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Goto \work\mc\mc-3.5.xx:
|
|
|
|
1. Copy all the files from os2\ into src\.
|
|
|
|
2. Install Slang 0.99.38. (ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis)
|
|
Patch Slang to make it works with Midnight Commander.
|
|
(I have disabled the multithreaded key handling because the key
|
|
control will be done in MC)
|
|
|
|
3. Copy the os2edit\ files to edit\.
|
|
Use Makefile.release to build a released version of libedit.lib or
|
|
Makefile.debug for a debug version.
|
|
|
|
4. Goto src\.
|
|
If you are going to use the WorkFrame for rebuild the makefile,
|
|
you have to delete the following files from src\:
|
|
achown.c
|
|
chmod.c
|
|
chown.c
|
|
cons.handler.c
|
|
cons.saver.c
|
|
cons.saver.h
|
|
fixhlp.c
|
|
key.c
|
|
key.unx.c
|
|
learn.c
|
|
learn.h
|
|
mad.c
|
|
Makefile.in
|
|
man2hlp.c
|
|
mfmt.c
|
|
slint.c
|
|
utilunix.c
|
|
xcurses.c
|
|
Otherwise, just type
|
|
nmake /f makefile.release (for release version)
|
|
nmake /f makefile.debug (for debug version)
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.1 Changes to main code:
|
|
|
|
They are enclosed in "#if defined(__os2__)" or OS2_NT blocks. Because of the
|
|
diffences between OS/2 and the other OSs, some of the files are completely
|
|
rewritten with call to APIs. They are named as *.os2.[ch].
|
|
|
|
5. Contact Information
