compiling mc under ubuntu 12.04

[frank]

Compiling the latest mc under Ubuntu 12.04 just took me one hour of 
chasing dependencies and creating symlinks.


And still I have some 100 warnings ...input unused because linking 
not done - which I'm not going to track down.


Don't you think your latest release should _always_ compile straight 
from the box under the major Linux distro?


Thanks

There is an automated tool (whose name I don't remember) which takes this 
description file and creates a build environment based on that. 

This tool called pbuilder.

Thats right. I assume that you mean 4.8.3 as latest release - this version 
smoothly compiles under Ubuntu Precise 12.04
You should refer to the list of build dependencies: 
https://www.midnight-commander.org/wiki/doc/buildAndInstall/req or
use prebuild versions from your distributions or some from:
