Read the INSTALL file for the complete instructions.
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!
