+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!
