Ok, mc has been built form scratch with hopefully everything in place.

[Jason W]

Oops, I need to make one adjustment, grep even when in /apps/mc/localbin is still listed in the scripts as /usr/local/bin/grep.  I will fix that, and putting /apps/mc/localbin at the beginning of the PATH should  fix it for subsequent rebuilds.

Hi Jason W
On the off chance you did not catch it, a search for  /usr/  in the mc scripts also turns up:
/usr/local/bin/perl
/usr/bin/zip
/usr/bin/unzip
/usr/bin/env python
/usr/bin/dpkg-repack
/usr/bin/apt-get
/usr/bin/dpkg-reconfigure

[Jason W]

Thanks

Perl and python I think should be optional add ons.

I think adding to the info file of installing perl5.tcz or a python should do, as there is no scm version.  The same would be true of mc.tcz. 

I will fix the zip commands, which should be right naturally on next rebuild with /apps/mc/localbin at the front of PATH when building.

Thanks for the info, I will work in the Debian stuff next rebuild.

Here is the result of "grep /usr *" in the /apps/mc/libexec/mc/extfs.c directpry:

Hi Jason W
There are a few more under   /usr/local/libexec/mc/   (I'm using the tcz as a reference)

/usr/local/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.csh:/usr/local/bin/mc -P "$MC_PWD_FILE" $*
/usr/local/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh:/usr/local/bin/mc -P "$MC_PWD_FILE" "$@"

/usr/local/libexec/mc/mc.sh:alias mc='. /usr/local/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh'

[Jason W]

root@box:/apps/mc/libexec/mc# grep mc *

Code: [Select]

mc-wrapper.csh: setenv MC_PWD_FILE $TMPDIR/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$

Not sure what has been fixed so tested as follows. Updated to the latest mc. Tested only browsing of test archives by <Enter>key.

Success: 7z, rar, iso
Fail: tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip, bz2, gz

I see the error messages too, but it still browses the archives.  I will look more at it later.

Seems to be an official mc bug that has been fixed. Doesn't mention zip in the ticket.
https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2785


Edit
The ticket also mentions the bug in relation to tar.xz.  Do you see any value in adding this archiver to those included within the SCM?
   

[Jason W]

Ok, I will rebuild with an updated version or a patch.

And add xz while I am at it.

[netnomad]

hi jason w,

as you know the mc.tcz has the same problems...
will you be so kind and correct als the tcz-package?

thank you for your commitment and your contributions.

[Jason W]

Hi netnomad,

The mc.tcz package is not mine, but if I find a solution here, the source and patches used can be used by the tcz packager to update mc.tcz with.

[Jason W]

I see that the patch resulting from that bug report is in Arch Linux now, so an easy fix, rebuilding now and hopefully will just work.
