Hi, I was looking, and found this link: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1581 Has anyone used this, and can this patch be folded into current releases? Thanks Russ ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
Re: Trying to debug: text entry fields not acceptin 'j' or 'd' character
Hi Yury and Everyone, I downloaded configured and compiled the Slang 2.2.4 version of the lib file. (One version earlier than i had.) I recompiled mc (version .15) and the 'j' and 'd' keys have started working again. I am hesitant to say that this fixed things as: 1. I still have the 2.3.0 Slang library in the /usr/local/lib directory (Couldn't find a make uninstall option to take it out) 2. My mac mini, what WAS always working, DOES use the Slang 2.3.0 version of the lib. So something is different between the two, but i am content in that everything is working! Thanks again to everyone for all their help! Russ On Tue, Feb 09, 2016 at 04:36:32PM +0100, Yury V.

Trying to debug: text entry fields not acceptin 'j' or 'd' character
Hi, I'm trying to track down an issue with two versions of mc that i have compiled on my two mac machines. I have a mac mini and a mac powerbook, both intel based machines. On the mac mini, i had tried previously to install mc with some degree of success. i know that it wasn't the current version (.15) but don't recall the version, probably .13 or so. I know that i was able to install the required other pieces, glib, gettext, pkf-config, slang, etc. Now, for my work, last month, i tried to install the latest mc (.15) on my mac powerbook. Initially i downloaded a premade binary (for .12, that i am sure of) and it worked, but it had the issue of the 'j' and 'd' key now working when entering text into a text field (like entering a new name in a field or text to search for). Thinking that this was probably a bug with the .12 version, i set about trying to compile the latest .15 on my powerbook. I downloaded the latest versions of gettext(0.19.7), glib (2.46.2), pkg-config(0.29), libffi (3.2.1) and slang(2.3.0), and ultimately got it all to compile together. While i was having problems getting everything to config, on a whim, i downloade mc .15 on my mac mini, and ran ./configure, just to see what would happen. ./configure ran through completely with the previous versions of stuff i had compiled. So i went ahead and did a make and a sudo make install. Fine no problems. After finally getting mc to compile on the Powerbook, i started using it, and began noticing the issue with the 'j' and 'd' key. I thought there must be something with the .15 version as well as had been with the compiled .12 version. HOWEVER, when i went to try 'j' and 'd' key on the .15 version i compiled on my mac mini, the 'j' and 'd' keys DO INDEED work fine! So now we come to my question, what lib, etc., in mc would be responsible for handling text entry. Is that gettext? i DO know that for the mac mini, i am using an earlier version of gettext (0.19.4) and an earlier version of pkg-config (0.28). I still need to see what variances for the other pieces on the mac mini, but i just wanted to see if anyone could shed some light on this? Sorry for the long winded question, but i thought it important to cover all the information! Thanks again for ANY help or insight!

Re: Compiling mc 4.8.15
Hi, My understanding for all the routines that mc needs, e.g gettext, pkg-config, etc, i am have those installed into /usr/lib either bin or local under there. I deleted pkgconfig, and tried to reinstall that, and got error again when i tried ./configure --with-internal-glib and got a "undefined achitecture for x86_64:" error. I'm a technical writer with a CS background. If someone could tell me the steps to compile all this for working under OS X, i would gladly write this up in a clear manner and donate to the mc doc effort! Thanks for any help!

Re: Compiling mc 4.8.15
is that --PKG_CONFIG_PATH=PATH when you run ./configure? Thanks, Russ On Sat, Feb 06, 2016 at 10:24:48AM +0100, Yury V.
