Building Midnight Commander (mc) on Mac

Building Midnight Commander (mc) on Mac

Prerequisites

glib (check your mc source package for compatible versions)

Setup

Download and extract the Midnight Commander source code from http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/

build and install with the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man --infodir=/usr/local/info --without-x --with-screen=ncurses

make

make install

Other Notes

the Home and End keys didn't work initially, so after configuring Terminal.app, I used the “learn keys” dropdown in mc.
