nano 3.2 always compiles without nls












0















I'm running macOS 10.14 and zsh.



I noticed that nano 2.0 is installed by default and is missing some features. So, I tried to compile and install the latest version (3.2).



This work fine, except for 2 things:

- it always compiles without nls .

- it always compiles without utf-8 support.



nano --version
GNU nano, version 3.2
(C) 1999-2011, 2013-2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
(C) 2014-2018 the contributors to nano
Email: nano@nano-editor.org Web: https://nano-editor.org/
Compiled options: --disable-libmagic --disable-nls --disable-utf8


During the configure it did gave a warning about utf-8 so it does make sense that is disables utf-8 support.



configure: WARNING:
*** Insufficient UTF-8 support was detected in your curses and/or C
*** libraries. If you want UTF-8 support, please verify that your slang
*** was built with UTF-8 support or your curses was built with wide
*** character support, and that your C library was built with wide
*** character support.


What is the proper way to fix this? I would really like the nls support to work.

          Although I couldn't understand anything I at least was able to follow the steps needed. Basically, you are missing a library called ncurses. So, before compiling nano you should install it:



          wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-6.0.tar.gz
          tar -xzvf ncurses-6.0.tar.gz
          cd ./ncurses-6.0
          ./configure --with-shared --enable-widec
          make
          make install


          and afterwards you configure and install nano as before:



          cd ../nano-3.2
          ./configure --enable-all --enable-utf8
          make
          make install

          and afterwards you configure and install nano as before:



          cd ../nano-3.2
          ./configure --enable-all --enable-utf8
          make
          make install
