- Subject: mc problems
Hello,
I am trying use mc on my installation of cygwin. But I have problem with
Polish diacritics in file names.
mc doesn't display them correctly at all and I cannot input several of them
into command line.
The same problem exists under Linux but after downloading latest version
from CVS and compiling with --enable-charset --enable-extcharset options it
was solved.
I done the same. BTW - much kudos to Cygwin and mc developers. Vanilla mc
sources from CVS compiled without big problems on Cygwin.
Minor problem was with iconv. mc couldn't find libiconv - had to install
libiconv package in addition to libiconv2. Some naming problem? Shouldn't
be
it something like libiconv-devevl?
But there are still two problems:
- on Linux after compiling with charset options dialog for "display bits"
changes from menu:
(*) Full 8-bits output
( ) ISO 8859-1
( ) 7 bits
[x] Full 8 bits input
to dropdown menu when I can explicitly select which encoding I want to use.
When selecting proper encoding (in my case ISO 8859-2) all problems with
encoding vanish. That is on Linux. On Cygwin old dialog stays.
- mc is terribly slow when starting + zsh is going into overdrive. CPU
usage
jumps to 30% and whole computer significantly slows down (and this doesn't
stop after closing mc, to stop that I have to shell where mc was started).
But this is not the case with Cygwin mc. Should I adjust compilation
somehow? OK - "solved" - had to completely disable subshell.
Still more important for me is encoding problem. Maybe it can be solved on
Cygwin level somehow? But I don't know which value should I set.
Native Polish encoding for Windows is cp1250.
But console encoding is cp852.
I should add that input of Polish diacritics in command line is OK, there
are problems with displaying of them but applications understand them - eg
zsh command line completion works as I should expect.
What and where should I set?
TIA
m.
