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! -- cgit v1.2.3
