[comp.unix.aux] Using tcsh under A/UX

enk@corona (Edan Kabatchnik) (08/16/89)

Net,

     I recently sucked over the sources for tcsh to my A/UX (1.1) system.  I
read the Makefile that came with it, and uncommented the section which said
"For Apple Unix uncomment this section" and proceeded to compile.  Over the
course of the compilation process, I ran into 4 errors, which seemed to be a
problem with the way the flags I uncommented in the Makefile interacted with
the source code compiler directives.  I managed to get it to compile, but it
does not like the * wildcard.

     Has anyone gotten tcsh up and running on their A/UX system?  Has anyone
encountered the difficulty I have encountered?  It is possible that my sources
were not exactly correct.  Is tcsh availbale for anonymous FTP anywhere?

  A binary of tcsh for A/UX is available for anonymous ftp from 
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu.  For those who can't ftp, you can do anon. uucp
from osu-cis.  They also have tcsh binaries for other systems (Sun3,
Encore).  It works fairly well, modulo some weirdnesses in the job
control (e.g. the "suspend" command to suspend the current shell doesn't
work at all.)
