Re: [PATCH] aclocal.m4: Enable configure to detect the presence ofncurses on OpenBSD 3.2
On Thu, 30 Jan 2003, Pavel Roskin wrote: Hello! OpenBSD 3.2 (I think also earlier versions, but cannot confirm) comes with ncurses as the default screen library. However it is installed as /usr/lib/libcurses.so, there is no libncurses in OpenBSD by default. Strange. I won't be surprized if the link to libncurses is missing for a reason, e.g. because some ncurses functionality was dropped from the library. I hope you have tested your patch. As surprising as it comes, MC linked against OpenBSD's libcurses appers to work so far. I could raise the topic on OpenBSD's general mailing list, but as MC appears to work fine I dont think it is necessary. FYI, OpenBSD provides ncurses.h, ocurses.h and curses.h - curses.h appears to be a wrapper which includes either ncurses.h (new curses) or ocurses.h (old curses) if the macro _USE_OLD_CURSES_ is defined. ncurses.h has this macro defined in it - #define NCURSES_VERSION 5.2. This header seems pretty much the same as the one on my RedHat 8.0 workstation. Thanks! ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Before pre2 I've reported a bug which occured when one turned the hintbar on, then off and on again in one minute time (before the message was refreshed) and made hintbar look dirty (one could seen panels through it). I don't remember exactly what happened, but I sent Pavel a patch, he decided it makes too much mess in the code and applied his own which just clears the hintbar completly (see also layout.c cvs log entry and diff for 1.55).

Re: [PATCH] aclocal.m4: Enable configure to detect the presence ofterminfo database on OpenBSD
On Thu, 30 Jan 2003, Pavel Roskin wrote: Hello! Here is another simple patch to improve configure's behaviour on OpenBSD. I don't understand what exactly your patch supposed to fix. What is the problem? Have you tested your patch? Does the problem go away? Yes, the problem goes away. If it's not clear the problem is that configure doesn't detect the presence of terminfo database on OpenBSD thus thinking that terminfo is not available at all and this is not true. Now, as I comes to testing the patch - yes I did and it worked. However reading your post I decided to verify again. This time I used gdb so I can be 100% sure - it turns out that the test I did was faked, not intentionally of course. The varibale TERMCAP was set in my .profile file and I didn't notice it. This and the following code in _SLtt_tigetent doomed my test: /* If we are on a termcap based system, use termcap */ if (0 == tcap_getent (term, ti)) return ti; Please, read below... [..] terminfo(5) on OpenBSD says: /usr/share/terminfo.db file containing terminal descrip- tions on OpenBSD OK, but your patch is for the MC_WITH_MCSLANG macro, which is only called when using the included S-Lang library. S-Lang doesn't understand terminfo in a file. It seems to me that your patch would force mc to use terminfo on a system where terminfo is only available in an incompatible format. Yes, you're right. I admit that I didn't knew how S-Lang interfaces with the terminfo database before I browsed through the code today. However, IMHO, what is incompatible here is the S-Lang library itself - there are a couple of routines which deal with the terminfo database and if S-Lang used them instead of emulating them everything would be fine.

Re: [PATCH] dotdot in the root directory
Hi, That is why I believe those dots in root dir are completely useless. Let's not pollute mc code with useless options. I vote for a configfile-only option for '..' in root. It doesn't pollute code (adding 2 new lines (int hide_root_dotdot=0; and a line in setup.c's table) and adding a variable to an if() shouldn't hurt). I think it's better if the app is customizable (down to the tiny details) than if developers decide what the user wants. Such options don't need to have entry in the F9 menu, but if someone wants he can change it in ~/.mc/config A'rpi / Astral ESP-team -- Developer of MPlayer, the Movie Player for Linux - http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu However, many people beg for its inclusion in Debian.

mouse behavior discussion
Hello. I wonder amongst mc-users, what should the mousewheel do in the panels? Right now, for me, it scrolls by a page every time, and moves the selected along with it. This behavior I do not like, and is always the first patch I apply to fresh cvs. I have two questions: 1. Should mousewheel scroll_by_pages or scroll_by_line? (IMHO that's what that artifact panel_scroll_pages was originally for, although I don't know for sure.) 2. Behavior of panel-selected: In editor the traditional way is to have cursor follow mousewheel to avoid typing in wrong area of file after scrolling with mouse, but in a file listing (in all other file managers I've used), it stays in place while only the listing scrolls. The adjustments are simple, but I'm not sure if others like what it does now, and if so, why. Maybe nobody uses mousewheel? They are so common where I live I throw 2 button mice in garbage :) Please reply to mailing list to help discussion on this matter. Cheers and thank you in advance. ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

RE: An old patch
Do you always treat newcomers with complete silence?

Subject: An old patch
Hi All,
Finally I was able to find the MC headquarters! :-)
I use an ancient mc (version so old it is unimportant) on
Solaris. Ages ago I have patched its sources to have a (for
me) very useful added feature. That is: you can tell in the
menu/extension file, if a prompt can be left empty:
8
m Run make with no pars, output to makeout
TARGET=%{.Enter parameters}
dtterm -geometry 184x67+0+0 -title Make -e wwmake $TARGET
8
This is an example of the use of it: my Makefile handler.
Please observe the . immediately after the opening curly
brace! It is very convenient. I just press F2-m and then an
enter to start make for the default target.
Now - of course - I absolutely do not remember what I have
changed. But I can diff to the original sources to tell. I
do not remember if I did the same change for the extension
file or not - of course it would be helpful there as well.
Why do I write? I would like to get this change into the
official version. I have tried to compile it here - but it
want glibc and other stuff I do not have - and I do not have
time now to download and build everything. Especialy because
I have to configure things with an awful lot of changes due
to our restricted environment (and ancient compilers).
My question: could anyone add this simple change to the
current code or help me to do it? I am absolutely not
familiar with sourceforge and CVS. :-( I better be, but I am not.
Please mail me directly!
Attila
