    73     <para>Midnight Commander without the Debian patch is completely unusable
    74     in multibyte locales because it assumes that characters and
    75     bytes are the same thing. The issue manifests itself as massive screen
    76     content corruption similar to what is depicted in
    77     <ulink url="&files-anduin;/mc-bad.png">this screenshot</ulink>
    78     (taken in the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale). For a general discussion of this type
    79     of issue, see the <xref linkend="locale-wrong-multibyte-characters"/>
    80     section of the <xref linkend="locale-issues"/> page. The Debian patch
    81     mostly fixes this issue, and adds support for recoding remote FTP
    82     filenames. Debian also fixed 64-bit issues, rare segfaults in
    83     <command>mcedit</command>, and improved syntax highlighting.</para>
    84 
    85     <para>If you do not use a multibyte locale and do not need any of the new
    86     features or fixes, the patch is still supposed to be harmless.
    87     However, the patch changes the dependencies and build instructions, and
    88     in the past it caused unacceptable regressions for non-UTF-8 locale users.
    89     Thus, failsafe instructions without the patch are left in the book just
    90     in case. Due to the size and unofficial nature of the patch, please
    91     do not report bugs in the patched <application>MC</application> to the
    92     original <application>MC</application> developers.</para>

    180     <para><parameter>CPPFLAGS="-DUTF8"</parameter>: This parameter activates
    181     UTF-8 support in the Debian patch and has no effect without this
    182     patch.</para>
    183 
    184121    <para><parameter>--enable-charset</parameter>: This option adds support
    185122    to <command>mcedit</command> for editing files in encodings different
    186     from the one implied by the current locale. This feature works in
    187     non-UTF-8 locales only, even with the Debian patch.</para>
    188 
    189     <para><parameter>--with-screen=(slang|mcslang|ncurses)</parameter>: This
     123    from the one implied by the current locale.</para>
     124
     125    <para><parameter>--with-screen=(slang|ncurses)</parameter>: This
    190126    parameter selects the screen library used by <application>MC</application>.
    191     <application>NCurses</application> support is
    192     currently buggy (MC does not handle mouse events in xterm correctly).
    193     UTF-8 support in the Debian patch is functional
    194     only when external <xref linkend="slang"/> is used as a screen library
    195     (this is the default).</para>
    196 
    197     <para><parameter>--with-codepagedir=DIR</parameter>: This parameter was
    198     useful only with <application>SAMBA</application>-2.x. New versions of
    199     <application>SAMBA</application> do not have codepage files.</para>
    200 
    201     <para><command>chmod 1755 /usr/lib/mc/cons.saver</command>: The
    202     <command>cons.saver</command> program has to be installed setuid
    203     root, because on LFS regular users have no access to
    204     <filename>/dev/vcsa*</filename> devices. This step is optional if
    205     <application>MC</application> is going to be started from X terminal
    206     emulators or <command>ssh</command> sessions only (thus rendering the
    207     <command>cons.saver</command> binary completely unneeded).</para>
    208 
    209     <!-- Other distributions make the devices owned by the vcsa group
    210          and make the cons.saver program setgid vcsa instead -->
