Tcsh is a version of the Berkeley -C-Shell, with the addition of: a command line editor, command and file -name completion, listing, etc. and a bunch of small additions to the -shell itself. - -Tcsh has been ported to most unix variants, and can be tinkered to work -in unix systems that it has not ported yet. See the Ported file for -a more complete list of ported systems and in the config directory for -a configuration file that matches your system. -Tcsh also runs under VMS/POSIX and OS/2+emx; the OS/2 port is not -complete yet. - -Feel free to use it. These changes to csh may only be included in a -commercial product if the inclusion or exclusion does not change the -purchase price, level of support, etc. Please respect the individual -authors by giving credit where credit is due (in other words, don't -claim that you wrote portions that you haven't, and don't delete the -names of the authors from the source code or documentation). - -To install tcsh: - -0) Try running "./configure". If that doesn't work, goto step 1. - Run "./configure --help" to see possible options. After running - configure, goto step 3. - -1) Otherwise copy Makefile.std to Makefile. Look at the Makefile and - make sure that you are using the right compilation flags. - -2) Copy the appropriate for your machine and OS config file from the - config subdirectory into config.h. Consult the file "Ported" for - settings known to work on various machines. If you are trying to - compile tcsh on a machine for which there is no config file yet, - you will need to create a config file using as a template one of - the supplied ones. If you get tcsh working on a new machine, I'd - appreciate a copy of the config file plus additional information - about the architecture/OS. If you are creating a new config file, - look very hard at BSDJOBS and BSDTIMES if you are running - a non-BSD machine. For vanila SysV, these would all be #undef-ed, - but others may vary (such as A/UX or HPUX). On a pyramid, compile - in the UCB universe even if you are running under the ATT universe - usually; it will work anyway, and you get job control for free. - -3) Look at config_f.h, and enable or disable any features you want. - It is configured the way I like it, but you may disagree. - -4) Look at host.defs to make sure that you have the right defines to set - the environment variables "HOSTTYPE", "MACHTYPE", "OSTYPE" and - "VENDOR" correctly. If you need to make changes, PLEASE SEND THEM - BACK TO ME. - -5) You may want to adjust the DESTBIN and DESTMAN entries in - the Makefile. These are the directories that tcsh, and the tcsh.1 - man entry will be placed in when you do a "make install" and "make - install.man" respectively. If you decide to install tcsh somewhere - other than in /usr/local/bin/tcsh, you should #define _PATH_TCSHELL - "/your/installation/directory/tcsh" in pathnames.h. - -6) make - -7) Read the documentation while you are waiting. The file tcsh.man - is in standard [nt]roff -man format. If you like, you can run the - tcsh.man2html script (requires Perl) to generate an HTML version of - the manpage which you can read with Mosaic, lynx or other HTML browser. - -8) Test tcsh by typing ./tcsh to see that it has compiled correctly. - The history command should give a time stamp on every entry. - Typing normal characters should echo each exactly once. Control-A - should put the cursor at the beginning of the input line, but after - the prompt. Typing characters after that should insert them into - the line. If you have job control make sure that stopping and - restarting jobs works. Make sure you can ^C in the middle of the - input line. Also make sure that pipelines work correctly and there - are no races. Try 'echo | cat | cat | cat | cat | more' a couple of - times. If you have job control, try this command in the background - and bring it in the foreground when it stops for tty output. Also - make sure that the ioctl() modes are preserved. Get into vi, enter - and exit input mode and suspend it, background it and foreground it - again. After all that, lastly make sure that the tty process group - manipulation is happening correctly. Try ftp to some host. If your - passwd appears on the screen, you have lost /dev/tty. Otherwise - everything is fine. - -9) Once satisfied that tcsh is working correctly, complete the installation - by typing "make install" to install the binary, and "make install.man" to - install the documentation. Don't forget to look at complete.tcsh for - useful completions... - -10) Enjoy. - -12) PLEASE file any bug reports (and fixes), code for new features at: - - http://bugs.gw.com/ - - Comments, questions, etc. (even flames) are welcome via email to: - - The tcsh bugs mailing list - tcsh-bugs@mx.gw.com - -Various: - -*************************************************************************** - -On sysv versions < 3.0 (not hpux) Doug Gwyn's public domain directory -manipulation library has to be installed.

After tcsh has compiled and the gcc binary is converted to a -minix binary, remember to chmem it to give it more memory - it will -need it! How much you need depends on how many aliases you have, etc.. -Add at least 50000 to it. - -One last thing. You might have to make some links for include files so -that they are in the directories that tcsh is expecting while compiling. -I forget if I had to do this or not, but it should be fairly easy to sort -out. If it cant find any include files this is probably the reason. - -If you have any problems, please tell me. I can be contacted through -e-mail at: - -krotz@honey.rtsg.mot.com - -I also read comp.os.minix on a regular basis, so a note there will get -my attention also. - -Have fun! - -ps. The termios functions are provided by Magnus Doell and Bruce Evans. - Thanks, guys! - - -From: Bob Byrnes <byrnes@ee.cornell.edu> - -This is for minix 1.5 (straight out of the box from P-H) plus the i386 -patches from Bruce Evans. - -I cross-compiled on a Sun using gcc 2.1 with a target of i386-bsd -(using the minix include files instead of the bsd versions), and then -linked the resulting object files with similarly compiled crtso.o and -libc.a on vax (little endian) using a hacked version of ld which I put -together to generate minix executables instead of bsd a.out format. -What a kludge ... - -I compiled with -O2 -Wall ... So far I haven't noticed any problems -with the optimizer. - -In case anyone is contemplating compiling tcsh with bcc (Bruce Evan's -i386 compiler that comes with the minix386 upgrade package), don't bother. -It is some serious bugs that kill tcsh when compiled for 16-bit characters. -I can provide more details of bugs that I noticed for brave souls who want -to try, but it would be hard (and why bother if you can get gcc?). - -I can make the binary available to anyone who wants it (for example people -who can't get access to a cross-compiling environment, and who don't yet -have gcc running under minix). - - -*************************************************************************** - -If your compiler cannot handle long symbol names, add - -#include "snames.h" - -to your config.h file - - -- Christos Zoulas - christos@zoulas.com - |
