This is useful as an alternative shell for those who prefer C syntax to that of the bash shell, and also because some programs require the C shell in order to perform installation tasks. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &tcsh-md5sum; Download size: &tcsh-size; Estimated disk space required: &tcsh-buildsize; Estimated build time: &tcsh-time; User Notes: Install Tcsh by running the following commands: sed -i -e 's|\$\*|#&|' -e 's|fR/g|&m|' tcsh.man2html && ./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin && make && sh ./tcsh.man2html To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install install.man && ln -v -sf tcsh /bin/csh && ln -v -sf tcsh.1 /usr/share/man/man1/csh.1 && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/tcsh-&tcsh-version;/html && install -v -m644 tcsh.html/* /usr/share/doc/tcsh-&tcsh-version;/html && install -v -m644 FAQ /usr/share/doc/tcsh-&tcsh-version; sed -i -e 's|\$\*|#&|' -e 's|fR/g|&m|' tcsh.man2html: This updates some deprecated Perl code. --bindir=/bin: This installs the tcsh program in /bin instead of /usr/bin. sh ./tcsh.man2html: This creates HTML documentation from the formatted man page. ln -v -sf tcsh /bin/csh: The FHS states that if there is a C shell installed, there should be a symlink from /bin/csh to it. This creates that symlink. There are numerous configuration files for the C shell. Examples of these are /etc/csh.cshrc, /etc/csh.login, /etc/csh.logout, ~/.tcshrc, ~/.cshrc, ~/.history, ~/.cshdirs, ~/.login, and ~/.logout. More information on these files can be found in the tcsh(1) man page. /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login /etc/csh.logout ~/.tcshrc ~/.cshrc ~/.history ~/.cshdirs ~/.login ~/.logout Update /etc/shells to include the C shell program names (as the root user): cat >> /etc/shells << "EOF" /bin/tcsh /bin/csh EOF Installed Program Installed Libraries Installed Directory tcsh None /usr/share/doc/tcsh-&tcsh-version; Short Descriptions tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley Unix C shell, csh. It is usable as both an interactive shell and a script processor. tcsh
