4. Hi,

   Could you tell me how you compile mc? I want to try and compile the latest release .15. I keep having problems with pkg and getlib seeing each other. Do you have some steps you follow?

   Thanks

14. Could you post error message here?

15. Hi LouiSe,

    I want to install mc^2 branch of mc http://www.typo.co.il/~mooffie/mc-lua/docs/html/index.html that supports Lua language extensions, and make mc really powerful.

    For that, I need to compile from sources, preferably latest version.

    Is there instructions on how to do this?

    Thank you.

16. Considering re-compiling the latest mc on macOS Sierra 10.12.1.

    I have installed glib2 @2.50.2_0 using MacPorts.

    Do you have instructions on what paths to give configure please?

17. Sorry for a stupid question. I’m using mac not for a long time yet. Installation has been done successfully. But I don’t understand how to run the app. No any icons appears after installation (( Searching on the disk by key words – no luck. Nothing is there except installation package.

18. Hi Andrew,

    Midnight Commander is a command-line application, just start Terminal, and type “mc” to start…

19. Thanks, this package works perfect on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

    Do you plan to release a new package for mc 4.8.18 ?

20. Thanks so much from UK. Working fine on Sierra.

21. Thanks a lot for this! Looking forward to 4.8.18 and 4.8.19 binaries!

23. Paul, what version did you install on Sierra?

    LouiSe, Are there Mac OS Sierra binaries yet for 4.8.19 ?

    Don’t want to install if there is nothing stable on Sierra.

    Thanks.

24. Richard: I’ve El Capitan (10.11.6) now, but i think this (ppc+x86) binary should work on 10.12 too…

25. Awesome !

    /usr/local/bin/mc (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
