I tried to configure ./configure --prefix=/localfolder glib-2.26.1/ make make install

but it fails at make stage.

trying to configure mc-4.6.1/ and make doesn't obviously work.

What are the steps I need to make in order to install midnight comander for my local user in a custom folder?

Make for glib gives me these errors

/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
cp: cannot stat `test.mo': No such file or directory
gmake[4]: *** [test.mo] Error 1
gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/remote/folder/mc/glib-2.26.1/gio/tests'
