Re: mc on cray unicos

[Christian Ott <cott just physics arizona edu>]

Hi again!

   It worked - I just turned off HAVE_INFOMOUNT_LIST and it compiled fine
on a Cray T3E  using the Cray C compiler with the
following ./configure options:

    --prefix=$MCDIR
    --disable-largefile --disable-nls --disable-glibtest -without-x
    --without-vfs --without-samba --without-tm-x-support
    --with-ncurses=$NCURSESDIR --with-glib-prefix=$GLIBDIR
    --without-gnome
    --with-subshell --with-terminfo --with-edit

$MCDIR, $NCURSESDIR, $GLIBDIR depend - of course - on your environment. I
used ncurses-5.2 and glib-1.2.10 (newer version wouldn't compile).

I turned of vfs, as there seems to be a problem with integer types (as
mentioned before - I'll look at this in more detail later on). Of course,
you don't need Samba on a Cray ;)

You may now add Cray/T3E Unicos to the list of supported systems :)
