Building Midnight Commander (mc) on Mac
Prerequisites
- glib (check your mc source package for compatible versions)
- fink was used to install glib, and to setup some build settings
Setup
- Download and extract the Midnight Commander source code from http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/
- build and install with the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/sw --mandir=/sw/share/man --infodir=/sw/share/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.
