Midnight Commander is a file manager program for managing files and archives in operation system and user shell with text-mode full-screen interface. MC works in text based mode and provide most of the necessary actions: viewing files and directories, editing, copying and renaming files, etc. Analog Commander X or Double Commander.

Another short post just to remember the procedure for the next time I’ll be setting up a new mac. For those of my readers who do not know what Midnight Commander (aka mc) is, GNU Midnight Commander is a visual file manager, created under a heavy influence of Norton Commander file manager from dark DOS ages 🙂 For more information, you can visit their web site.

We have used the information here to install Midnight Commander 4.8.10 under OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and also to install Midnight Commander 4.8.12 under MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and in both cases it was a quick and painless install, and works great!

Abstract: Midnight Commander (MC) is one of the few tools I’m still using since I’ve been inducted into software engineering more than 10 years ago (for comparison I’ve changed 5 integrated development environments (IDE)).

Next thing, download the sources from their web site and unpack them. When the sources are ready, you can configure the build:

$ ./configure

--enable-charset
--with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local
--with-slang-includes=/opt/local/include
--with-slang-libs=/opt/local/lib

Then, normal GNU-style build and install procedure:
