Request Midnight Commander File Manager

Hi AbNoRMiS
Actually, all you need to do is add a  /bin/grep  link to  /usr/local/bin/grep  to see if ti works.

[AbNoRMiS]

yes it can be done but even if this will work
then in the mc this would not work immediately
"taking from box" without additional changes

[Rich]

Hi AbNoRMiS
That is only to determine if it works. If it does, the fix would be to change the hard coded path in /apps/mc/...../iso9660
(and any other scripts) from  /usr/local/bin/grep  to grep.

[AbNoRMiS]

now i launched sudo ln -s /bin/grep /usr/local/bin && tce-load -i gawk.tcz
but then mc does not issue any errors and don't shows contents of iso-images





i don't understand why this occurs looking into /apps/mc/libexec/mc/extfs.d/iso9660

Abnormis-

I will add some of those things like grep to mc that are small and give the fuller functionality.  Give me a couple days or so.

[AbNoRMiS]

thank you very much Jason, i already understood this
and we don't trying in any case to force you to rush this
but we here just try to find out some interesting points

[Jason W]

It's all good.  As I don't use mc personally, at least not until after packaging it, this has been an educational thread on what it uses and it's dependencies.

[AbNoRMiS]

i found in the repo cdrtools.scm which i have not seen formerly
then it may really be enough convert coreutils.tcz to coreutils.scm
about which i had not thought earlier and not break head?

[AbNoRMiS]

i'm sorry, i see that i was wrong because coreutils does not include grep and gawk

[Jason W]

I haven't forgotten about this, I will put some more support binaries in hopefully today.

[Jason W]

Added cdparanoia, isoinfo, p7zip, zip/unzip, gawk, unrar.

I don't use these functions with mc so please test and report any issues.

Hitting enter on an iso does not open the iso as a directory.

[Jason W]

It opens an iso as a directory here, wonder what the issue may be.

It opens an iso as a directory here, wonder what the issue may be.

Is the problem that grep is not listed is /apps/mc/localbin?

Installing grep.tcz enables an ISO to be browsed as directories and files.

Ok, forgot to add grep, will add it in today.
