That did the trick.
I started with the VM as a clean, fresh install of Ubuntu Mate 20.04
I added these two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic multiverse
I ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get dist-upgrade -y; reboot
This caught me up on the latest updates just for good measure. Next I installed
the packages which you specified
sudo apt-get install build-essential itstool gawk libxml2-utils libglib2.0-dev
libgtk2.0-dev libgnomevfs2-dev
All of these packages installed without complaint. I then downloaded the
tarball of gnome-commander 1.10.3 source code from the web site and unpacked to
a sub-directory on my Desktop. I entered that directory from a terminal and
performed:
./configure
make
sudo make install
I ran gnome-commander from the command line. It launched just fine. I noticed
that the launcher is NOT on the Mate menu. I use the old style Applications;
Places; System menu. It should be under Applications; Accessories. I looked at
the menu configuration tool in the control center. Gnome Commander was listed
under Accessories and checked. When I looked back at the menu it was in fact
there. If that is the worst that happens I can live with it :-)
It looks like we now have a tested recipe for installing Gnome Commander on
Ubuntu 20.04. Perhaps Uwe will add this to the documentation on the web site.
Thank you again Stephan. I need to try this on the latest Mint Mate and also
try to build a .deb package which I can use to install on other machines
without installing all of the development packages.
I was going to do something else this evening but this has been much more
rewarding :-))
