Software Summary: Mr Commander is a Total Commander-like file management tool for MS Windows.
Mr Commander is a file manager software that is built on GTK+ 2.0. This program functions in a similar manner to the Total Commander program that is commonly used on MS Windows. The software boasts of its support for SMB and FTP.
During the installation, the `configure' shell script attempts to deduce accurate values for system-dependent variables that are used during compilation. It generates a `Makefile' in every directory of the package utilizing the deduced values. Additionally, it may produce one or more `.h' files that contain system-dependent definitions. The software then creates a shell script called `config.status' that you can use in the future to recreate the current settings. A compiler output file named `config.log' is created that can help in debugging in case of need.
The software can also use an optional file known as the `config.cache' file that saves the results of its evaluations. This feature allows for faster reconfiguring, although caching is disabled by default to prevent stale cache file issues. The instructions for the package's compilation are readily available in the `README' file. If you need to change anything during the compilation, you can email diffs or instructions to the address provided to be considered in the future release.
In some cases, `configure' may not know about unusual compilation or linking options on some systems. You can set variables on the command line or environment to give `configure' initial values for the configuration parameters. The software supports multiple architecture compilations, and you can compile the package for more than one type of computer at the same time.
By default, the installation of Mr Commander uses `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man,' etc. You can specify a different installation prefix by providing the `--prefix=PATH' option. In addition, you can set different installation prefixes for architecture-specific files and those that are architecture-independent. There are also options like `--bindir=PATH' that you can set to specify different values for specific kinds of files.
Overall, Mr Commander is an excellent choice for file management, and its installation, documentation, and configuration processes are all well-detailed in the software.
