Summary

0001553: New package : midnight commander

Description

Midnight Commander 4.6.1 with debian patches.
Requires glib2.0 on buildmachine.

Requires glib2.0 + ncurses on hostmachine.

Additional Information

The midnight commander configure script fails at producing a correct make target for the helperprogram man2hlp used to generate online helpfiles for mc. (target gets linked against the libraries in the staging dir).

To link correctly I use a separate build to generate man2hlp on the buildmachine.
Next I immediately touch the generated objects after reconfiguring for the hostmachine to prevent the objects from being rebuilt.

Notes
(0002870) Leon Bailly 10-30-07 05:54	An improved version mc2.tar.gz removes the dependency on ncurses. You can use the recommended mc-slang library instead. Further improvements: - honors LARGEFILE_support setting - honors HAVE_MANPAGES - selectable NLS - selectable VFS - a space saving feature removes some hi-lite template files

(0015344) broeggle 11-10-08 07:49	Hi, I just tried out your mc2.tar.gz package, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The Config.in is missing some dependencies (e.g BR2_USE_WCHAR or BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE) However my main problem is that make always tries to recompile man2hlp which of course fails as glibcompat.o is already built for x86 (which is right behaviour) -> why it is trying to rebuild man2hlp? it would be nice if you could provide some help on this issue I'm using buildroot to compile for an avr32 system
