Hi,
First I love mc, and always have 2 or 3 opened on my desktop.
This email concerns the static version requests.
In previous digests it was written:
>> As for the "stand-alone version", it's possible to link glib statically,
>> as well as other libraries.

I have experimented with compiling mc 4.6.0 statically
to put on a rescue cdrom.
This was the method I used:
1. First make a glib-2.0 with static libs enabled:
./configure --enable-static
and install
2. Next configure mc:
./configure --disable-shared --without-x
Then go thru toplevel Makefile and src/Makefile,
and add -static to the LIBS line
LIBS = -static
It produced an mc that was 1.18 megs stripped, and I further
reduced it by applying upx to it. It ended up 528k.
It runs fine from the harddrive, but when I try to run it from
a boot cdrom, I get some error (Can't remember offhand),
but I think it has to do with gtk2; because a similar older mc,
from gtk1 days dosn't give a problem.
Keep up the great work.
