Hi all,
I'm planing to revive the M$-Win32 port of the Midnight Commander.
During the past few years I did a little Development (based on 4.1.36), and
realeased a binary Distribution.
(see http://home.a-city.de/franco.bez/mc/mc.html )
The public interest seems quite OK - I have some 170 hits/week, and
communication with some 30 active mc-users on Windows (95/98/NT/2000)
Currently I'm on the way to merge my changes with the latest mc-source, and
try to make mc compile and link with mingw-gcc again.
In this context I have a few questions
1. Who else is interrested (or even active) in reviving the Win32 Port ?
1a. Any interrest in building mc with M$-VC++ or Borland C++ (otherwise I
will only support mingw-gcc )
2. mc now uses glib - can anyone tell me (in short - one or two sentences)
what this lib is good for ?
(I'm trying to decide weather to remove the dependency on glib from MC for
Win32, or to merge in the existing win32-glib-port which was done for the
GIMP)
3. Being a native german-speaker I found that the german translation has some
problems ( broken Hot-keys , translations too long to fit in Dialogs,
misleading/unusual translations)
Who's currently maintaining the german translation ?
So, enough for today
Ciao,
Franco
