Here is a work-around for FreeBSD 1.02 and the "tcsh" problem.
In sh.c, about line 908, there is a call to "setdisc", which sets
the line discipline for the tty.
In FreeBSD, this test fails and you get the error message that
you have no job control, etc.
I found, experimentally, that if you just ignore the bad error
return, it works fine... It's not a fix.. just a work-around
until I or someone gets more time to change "setdisc" so that
it works with FreeBSD..
Here's a fast fix..
1. Define "FREEBSD" in the Makefile CFLAGS.
2. Put the following kludge into sh.c
#ifdef FREEBSD
if (setdisc(f) == -1) {
#else
if (setdisc(f) != -1) {
#endif
This works just fine for me and shows no funny effects whatsoever.
Good Luck..
