I've been looking at tcsh. It builds but make check fails completely. The problem is that the tests are based on m4 it and fails with GNU M4 1.4.12, but succeeds with GNU M4 1.4.4. The version of tcsh that is in the book currently also fails with the newer M4.
I've added to a bug report on the tcsh maintainer's web site. The problem was first noted in early October, but nothing has happened since. There is also a minor issue with a warning when the command `sh ./tcsh.man2html` is run, but I can work around that or ignore it. The question is how to handle the make check failure. Do I just say that it won't run with (GNU M4) 1.4.12 and is a known problem? One last thing. I don't know why the current instructions call for the installation in /usr/bin. The default is /bin and is correct. It is necessary if /usr is remotely mounted and tcsh is a user's default shell. All shells should go in /bin. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
