as far as I can see at http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/mc/ and http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/slang/ Fedora is still stuck with the patched slang1.
Does anyone have a proper source code for a *working* Utf-8 Midnight Commander?
I did what I said, which was with Slang2, and Arkadiusz confirmed that it worked. Did not use alien, just source code with patches applied.
All I know is that there are 3 Slangs floating around: 1. original 1.4.x, which is also included, stripped down, with mc in the slang directory. If you use this one, no matter what, you don't get UTF-8. 2. patched 1.4.x, used by Fedora and some others. Has a few issues with non-patched mc (the mc configure script refuses to use it). 3. SLang 2.0.x, which also has UTF8-support, but you need to explicitly enable it, using SLutf8_enable(-1), as in my mail. Otherwise it will be in 8-bit mode, and from mc's point of view behaves just like the original 1.4.x. As far as I can see, for instance, mc in Debian testing/unstable is linked against slang2, but without UTF8-support. Bart
