Read the INSTALL file for the complete instructions. 

   You need the NCurses 1.8.5 library. The Midnight Commander can also
work with an older NCurses or the default System V curses library on
Solaris, Irix etc., but some of the keys and screen updates will not
work correctly.

1. Configure the package for your system.

   Normally, you just `cd' to the directory containing the package's
source code and type `./configure'.

   The most often needed options to configure are following:

`--prefix=PATH'
	By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
	`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an
	installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
	`configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'.

`--with-ncurses=PATH'
	Use this flag if your ncurses is not installed in any of the
	places configure checks (/usr/include, /usr/include/ncurses,
	/usr/local/include and /usr/local/include/ncurses). The
	configure script will append `lib' and `include' to find the
	libncurses.a and ncurses.h files respectively.

`--with-gpm-mouse=PATH'
	Use this flag if your GPM mouse package is not installed in
	a standard place.  configure will append `lib' and `include'
	to find the libgpm.a and gpm.h files respectively.

2. Type `make' to compile the package.

3. Type `make install' (as root) to install programs, data files, and
documentation.

3b. If you're on a Linux system, type `make install.saver' (as root)
to install the `cons.saver' utility, which allows the Midnight
Commander to save and restore the screen contents.

4. Type `mc' and enjoy!
