%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Tcsh The Tcsh package contains an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley Unix C shell (csh). 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. Tcsh has problems with command line editing in multibyte locales. The issue is discussed in more detail in the section of the page.

Now, as the root user: make install && make install.man && ln -v -sf tcsh /bin/csh && ln -v -sf tcsh.1 /usr/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; --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.
