TITLE: Midnight_Commander LFS VERSION: 3.1 AUTHOR: Barbara Pfieffer SYNOPSIS: How to install Midnight Commander (MC) and required glib HINT: I like to use Midnight Commander for a file manager, which works in both terminals and X. Download Midnight Commander 4.5.55 http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/mc-4.5.55.tar.gz Download glib 1.2.10 (not the 1.3 versions) ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz Unpack glib-1.2.10 and change to its directory. I put all newly installed packages (nonstandard lfs) in /usr/local, so that's where these will be installed. To install glib: (run as root) ./configure && make && rm -rf /install-prefix/include/glib.h /install-prefix/include/gmodule.h && make install Then type ldconfig (to allow the libraries to be found) If you installed in /usr/local as I did, edit your PATH: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin Unpack mc-4.5.55 and change to its directory To install MC: ./configure --with-ncurses && make && make install
