-
- You will need an ANSI C Compiler (such as GCC) and glib library to
- compile the source. GNU Midnight Commander now comes with the S-Lang
- screen manager, a fast screen manager, but you may want to use the
- already installed S-Lang or ncurses library.
-
- If you insist on using ncurses, it's recommended to use ncurses 4.1 and
- above, since the older versions don't support resizing in the xterm
- window.
-
- GNU Midnight Commander comes with the mouse support on xterms and in the
- Linux console. In order to take advantage of the mouse support on the
- Linux console you will need the gpm mouse server (see the section
- "Obtaining related software" in this file).
-
- Once you get gpm, compile it and install it, then you will have to
- specify the `--with-gpm-mouse' flag to the configure program if you
- installed it in a non-standard directory. If you installed the gpm
- package under /usr or /usr/local, you don't need to specify this flag;
- configure will find gpm for you. The support for mice on xterms is
- always compiled in.
