Recently I decide switch from Far/Total Commander to GNU MC.
I use Cygwin 1.7.1.
MC is look beauty with mintty but I have issue:

3. Second shell not available.

I partially resolve all problem.
It seems by default Cygwin MC do not use subshell.
I run mc --subshell and all symptom goes out!

Hello,


You could also try another approach: rebuilding from the distributed sources,
and modifying mc-4.6.1-2.sh to enable subshell:

$ diff -u mc-4.6.1-2.sh.orig mc-4.6.1-2.sh
--- mc-4.6.1-2.sh.orig  2010-05-12 21:14:32.879507800 +0200
+++ mc-4.6.1-2.sh       2010-05-12 21:15:30.443951800 +0200

Thanks for suggestion.

I don't understand why MC was not already built with subshell support
by default in Cygwin?

As I see only inconveniences appear without subshell.
