Read the INSTALL file for the complete instructions.

The Midnight Commander by default will use the Slang screen
|
||
|
|
manager, if something fails with the Slang screen manager, you may
|
||
|
|
compile the program with your system curses (You will need a SysV
|
||
|
|
compatible curses, in case you don't have such, read the README file
|
||
|
|
for directions on getting the ncurses package, a freely available
|
||
|
|
replacement for SysV curses).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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-slang' (default)
|
||
|
|
The easy way to get the Commander running: Slang is part of
|
||
|
|
the distribution. This is the default screen manager, if you run
|
||
|
|
configure without any --with-*curses parameter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`--with-ncurses[=PATH]'
|
||
|
|
Use the flag without =PATH if you want to compile with ncurses
|
||
|
|
(default is in version 3.0 the SLang screen manager included
|
||
|
|
in the distribution).
|
||
|
|
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 checks (/usr/include, /usr/include/ncurses,
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/include and /usr/local/include/ncurses). 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`--with-sco'
|
||
|
|
If you are compiling on a SCO machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also want to specify CFLAGS for the compiler, even if it finds
|
||
|
|
itself some defaults by typing e.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Type `make install' (as root) to install programs, data files, and
|
||
|
|
documentation. If you're on a Linux system, this will install the
|
||
|
|
`cons.saver' utility, which allows the Midnight Commander to save and
|
||
|
|
restore the screen contents. If you're making a mc binary distribution for
|
||
|
|
other people and want to tar the whole binary later, you may want to specify
|
||
|
|
`make install DESTDIR=PATH', which will make PATH the root for installation
|
||
|
|
(but in the installed stuff will be still stored only --prefix).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3a. Type `make mcfninstall' to get an interactive program check if you
|
||
|
|
want to define an useful alias for the Midnight Commander.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Type `mc' and enjoy!
