Dear all,
I'm going to report tcsh backquote expansion problem.
I've installed cygwin-1.3.4-4 and tcsh-6.10.00-3 on Windows XP box.
# .cshrc
set myname=`hostname`
set prompt="${myname}% "
I put these 2 lines on ~/.cshrc. However, when tcsh starts up, myname
variable is always set null. The output of hostname can't be expanded
at all.
Once tcsh starts up, I typed-in command line manually,
% echo `hostname`
It can show my hostname correctly.
cygwin-1.3.2-1 doesn't cause this problem. Also when I use bash and
$HOME/.profile, They can work with both version of cygwin.dlls.
