[ solved ] midnight commander?

[ro3sonMember]

I’ve been install geexbox on my sparta mb (with 1GHz Celeron & 2GB RAM / intel 915 graphix) – unfortunately have some issues and want correct them manually… but i’m not a “linux guru” and wish to have mc to easily editing configs
Is possibility to prepare .opk to install it on my geexbox? – i’ve try to “make” mc from sources but unsuccessfully…

Hello tomlohave !

there is progress with Midnight commander  .opk ?

[josch.hhMember]

adding mc is not a big issue i think, but all you can do with mc you can do also via command line, which is more effective. you don´t need to be a linux guru to just use some commands or editors like vi.

sorry but by which aspect  is the command line more effective?! Someone asking for mc simply asks for a tool that handles filesystems in a nowadays convinient way.

Browsing a file tree is by far more effective on mc than plain shell. I come from a different rootfs and still try to get the structure especially because I’m used to headless systems I like mc a lot. Editing files (w/o need for certain regex and stuff) is by very far more effective with mcedit. The fact that you can walk the sreets barefoot doesn’t mean it’s more effective than wearing shoes

i know mc and many of the norton commander clones on different os’s.

the command line is more effective  in nearly any aspect if you know how to use it.

anyway I will try to get mc running for geexbox

Yes, thank you. I already saw this manual.

I compile the geexbox 3.0 (http://hg.geexbox.org/geexbox). I’m adding patch in the virtual keyboard XBMC  (/packages/xbmc/patches) for Russia users .
You can export  mc of http://hg.openbricks.org/openbricks/file/facec51b8b63/packages/mc  >> in http://hg.geexbox.org/geexbox? That would be fine.

Thanks .

tha’s commited in geexbox tree (branch geexbox-3.0, so switch to this branch)

# HG changeset patch
# User Thomas Genty
