Testing and Installing tcsh
After building tcsh, you should test it as shown below:
%./tcsh
Start the tcsh you just built %...run some commands...
See how it works %exit
Terminate it
Point eight of the README file suggests some special commands that you can use to exercise tcsh. You should try doing some everyday work with the newly built shell, to see how it performs under ordinary circumstances.
When you're satisfied that tcsh is stable, install the binary and the manual page using the following commands:
%make install
Install the tcsh binary %make install.man
Install the manual page
If you encounter problems, try to determine the circumstances under which they occur. Consult the README and FAQ files, and verify by looking in Ported that you compiled tcsh with all special flags needed on your system.
