GNU Midnight Commander

What steps will reproduce the problem? start 'mc' within an xfce4-terminal window run this command in 'mc': read -rp "press enter after resizing xfce4-terminal window" resize the window by making it larger in both X and Y directions press ... [More] Enter to the prompt in 2. press Enter if prompted by 'mc' to "Press any key to continue..." to return to 'mc' panels What is the expected output? the panels are resized to the new window size What do you see instead? the panels are the same size as before the command in 2. got executed, but the lower bar (with the F1-F10 keys info) is resized correctly in the X direction.

APT, the Debian package manager, is able to use HTTPS repositories in addition to the ones that are listed in the ​debian-sources-list.syntax file.

to clarify, that would be an option to *not* follow symlinks. and that would be very useful, indeed - for example, searching all of /etc for settings related to a particular feature always turns up lots of garbage from /etc/alternatives/, /etc/rc?.d/, etc.

Indeed, AC_CHECK_FUNCS([setlocale]) fixes the cyrillic in the TUI and libmc_la_LIBADD += $(PCRE_LIBS) fixes the linkage error. The patch on top on your one is following: configure.ac diff --git ...

Replying to andrew_b: CCLD mc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Can you share your config.log? It does not happen for me. It feels like mc does not really use any iconv_* symbols directly and ... [More] gettext.m4 should sort all out itself. I wonder if the -liconv flag comes from $(LIBICONV) at lib/Makefile.am:libmc_la_LIBADD += $(PCRE_LIBS) $(LIBICONV) and should just be removed. [Less]

Replying to andrew_b: But anyway, i18n is broken. There no cyrillic in the TUI: question marks are shown instead of cyrillic letters. It's not clear which ./configure options you are using thus I'm not sure how to reproduce. It's probably due ... [More] to src/main.c's conditional: #ifdef HAVE_SETLOCALE (void) setlocale (LC_ALL, ""); #endif and HAVE_SETLOCALE is not set. The fix would be to add a AC_CHECK_FUNCS([setlocale]) in configure.ac. Before mc implicitly relied on intl.m4 to detect the same. [Less]
