[JOSS-review] add csh as dependency
Issue #3
resolved
csh/tcsh is needed to build Chombo and is usually not installed on linux systems by default – it should be listed as a dependency in the README.md

reporter sorry, the Chombo build scripts hardcode `#!/bin/csh`
-
reporter actually, it might just be that we should build with
make CSHELLCMD=/bin/bash
?
I’ll test that out.
-
reporter indeed, if I build on a system without csh/tcsh, it fails, but I can fix the build scripts by compiling as:
make CSHELLCMD="/bin/bash -c" lib
perhaps then this can be documented as an alternate to requiring a csh install?
-
Thanks for identifying this issue. I have added that alternative compile option into the documentation notes for compiling Chombo.

It is possible to compile with bash. Can you be more specific about why csh is required?
