Comment:

mc was updated to 4.6.1 in r36704 but no utf8 variant was added. The Midnight Commander download page shows that the utf8 patch is "unofficial"; as such, I'm hesitant to include it in MacPorts. I can guess from its name, but what does this patch do exactly, and why isn't it part of the standard Midnight Commander source?

  • Ticket #13120 – Description

    initial v3  
    33The current mc-4.6.0 is compiled against ncurses, because the mcslang bundled with 4.6.0 is actually broken on mac. This is not yet fixed in any bundled mcslang (up to mc-4.6.2-pre1, reported to mc-dev). However, with the attached diff, mc-4.6.1 will compile against mcslang and work happily with the tiger-bundled terminfo database.

    5 The problem above gets fixed in slang-2.1.3 (see Ticket 13119).

    7 For utf8 support in mc slang2 is needed. You will also need a recent terminfo databse (the tiger-bundled (5.4) will not work in regard of arrow keys and fn keys).  I did not impose a ncurses(w) dependency on slang2 in Ticket 13119. Because you can still used $TERMINFO to override the system defaults if the right terminfo cannot be found at slang2 compile-time.
