Hello!'make install' didn't do vfs directory. I had to cd into it and do 'make' manually. Just missing from the Makefile.I tried and could not reproduce this problem. Please give more details about the commands you ran (which arguments to configure, make etc). Describe the errors actually reported on the screen, not yourinterpretation.
I just copied the cvs source into a fresh directory, used this configuration: Duron750, Mandrake8.2, gcc-2.96, gnome, sawfish, gnome-terminal, $TERM=xterm.
Configuration:
Source code location: .
Compiler: gcc
Compiler flags: -g -O2 -Wall
File system: Midnight Commander Virtual File System
tarfs, ftpfs, fish, smbfs
Screen manager: SLang with terminfo
Install console saver: yes
Mouse support: GPM and xterm
X11 events support: yes
Debugger code:
With subshell support: yes
Internal editor: yes Install path: /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib/mc and this happened: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/mc/mc-test/vfs' source='tcputil.c' object='tcputil.o' libtool=no \ depfile='.deps/tcputil.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/tcputil.TPo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../config/depcomp \gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -Ino/include -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -DCONFIGDIR=\""/etc"\" -g -O2 -Wall -c `test -f 'tcputil.c' || echo './'`tcputil.c

make[1]: *** [tcputil.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/mc/mc-test/vfs' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1It seems #define USE_NCURSES 1 is set if I use --with-ncurses=no or --without-ncurses. I have to remove any reference to ncurses completely to get it to not set USE_NCURSES. I think that was the original problem. When I first got the pre1 source, I used a
./configure command from 4.5.55 that had -with-<package>=no on some thingsbecause it used to compile a bunch of stuff in that I didn't want, so I manually unset them. ./configure --help says that you can use --with-<package>=no or --without-<package>.
I don't think I should monkey with the configure scripts, thats DEEP MAGIC.
When mc first starts, I always get the user menu (?). Extra keystrokes from somewhere? Anyone else get this?I think you have "Auto menus" enabled in Options->Configuration. This option is disabled by default, but maybe you enabled this option in an older version with broken "Auto menus" support.
Again, you are correct. I wasn't sure what auto-menus meant, and it never seemed to do anything. I'm still not sure what it does.
No. We need a more planned approach here, not a bunch of hacks.
Yes, the code is well-hacked already isn't it?The program is great, but the code is a bit spotty and disorganized in places, but DEFINATELY needs to be kept alive. Glad you're in charge.
I think mc has more than enough hacks, thank you very much!
I agree, and you're welcome :-). It's so... so... hackable, and a great place to learn what makes a great C program work..
If you have any details, please post them. Maybe what you mean is a simple bug that doesn't require rewriting the whole color support :-)
Yes, it's a little bug somewhere. Four lines in menu.c. See attachment. Cheers.
