TCSH Shell

[mocallins]

Any chance we can reincorporate TCSH shell in the current distro's
I'm a huge fan of tcsh, and found the files from back in release 2.0

Got it to work, except in TinyCore64

tcsh added to CorePure64-11.x repo

You'll need to pm Core tcsh extension maintainer @hiro and request it to be recompiled against ncursesw - see: http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86_64/tcz/src/tcsh/compile_tcsh

A bit of a typo here, but i sorta guessed it out, lol

Code: [Select]

LIBS="-lncursesw" CC="gcc -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -mtune=generic -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure -prefix=/usr/local --localstatedir=/var
Compiled, installed, and is running for me.
Thanks

    [EDIT]: Added code tags.  Rich

i came across this previous forum post(snippet quoted below):

...
1. Never ever use a bash header for portable shell scripts without explicit bashisms.

2. Never ever use #!/usr/local/bin/bash as header for bash scripts, but always #!/usr/bin/env bash.

which led to several search results, and this was just one:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10591086/shell-script-headers-bin-sh-vs-bin-csh

which referenced this written by Bruce Barnett regarding the C and TCSH shells:
https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/CshTop10.txt

and Bruce references Tom Christiansen's essay about the C shell:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/

interesting reading when you've got the time(and/or the interest of course)

edited to add: yes, i know the provided/referenced commentaries are _old_ nevertheless they are interesting and thought-provoking(to some, not all...granted)
