Hello, I am trying use mc on my installation of cygwin. But I have problem with Polish diacritics in file names.
mc doesn't display them correctly at all and I cannot input several of them into command line. The same problem exists under Linux but after downloading latest version from CVS and compiling with --enable-charset --enable-extcharset options it was solved. I done the same. BTW - much kudos to Cygwin and mc developers. Vanilla mc sources from CVS compiled without big problems on Cygwin. Minor problem was with iconv. mc couldn't find libiconv - had to install libiconv package in addition to libiconv2. Some naming problem? Shouldn't be it something like libiconv-devevl? But there are still two problems: - on Linux after compiling with charset options dialog for "display bits" changes from menu: (*) Full 8-bits output ( ) ISO 8859-1 ( ) 7 bits [x] Full 8 bits input to dropdown menu when I can explicitly select which encoding I want to use. When selecting proper encoding (in my case ISO 8859-2) all problems with encoding vanish. That is on Linux. On Cygwin old dialog stays. - mc is terribly slow when starting + zsh is going into overdrive. CPU usage jumps to 30% and whole computer significantly slows down (and this doesn't stop after closing mc, to stop that I have to shell where mc was started). But this is not the case with Cygwin mc. Should I adjust compilation somehow? OK - "solved" - had to completely disable subshell. Still more important for me is encoding problem. Maybe it can be solved on Cygwin level somehow? But I don't know which value should I set. Native Polish encoding for Windows is cp1250. But console encoding is cp852. I should add that input of Polish diacritics in command line is OK, there are problems with displaying of them but applications understand them - eg zsh command line completion works as I should expect. What and where should I set?
