Thanks but this is a lot more than anybody should have to do to get a working copy of tmux. I'm not ever going to be a Linux developer and learning their tools (or junking up my Solaris boxes with gnu userland just to be able to build non-portable apps) is not on my list. I built git at the request of one of the developers on this list and it was the biggest pain in the ass of any piece of software I've built on Solaris. The git developers obviously have no interest and possibly no awareness in anything but Linux. And they're hardly alone. Anyway, nothing happened. I set up a shell account and gave access but nothing was done. After 6 months I was pretty hyped to see your patches. > > nawk -fmdoc2man.awk tmux.1.in >tmux.1; \ > > fi > > nawk: syntax error at source line 1 > > context is > >>>> . <<< \ " $Id$ > > 4 missing ]'s > > nawk: bailing out at source line 1 > > The script is for gawk, not nawk.

I'm sure you're no stranger to this since you put so much effort into packaging software for Solaris, but I'm always amazed how much non-portable code and how much All the World R Belong 2 Linux stuff is written. I've been trying to get tmux on Solaris for a long time and nobody has been able or interested enough to fix it. Thanks for all your work on Solaris packaging, fixes, etc. I don't use any of it because I don't want the infrastructure and I don't want to make Solaris' preexisting package hell any worse, but I still greatly appreciate your efforts because a lot of the good work you do trickles down (up?) to other projects and possibly wakes people up to the fact Linux is not the only POSIX-like "OS" and some of us still prefer Solaris, right to the bitter end. I'll try building gawk myself and if that's not enough I'll give up until anybody has interest in making tmux work with standard UNIX stuff without requiring a gnu userland. If I wanted gnu crap I'd be running Linux. Yeah I know tmux runs on OpenBSD, that's where I found out about it. But it's less of a pain in the ass there since tmux cares about OpenBSD as a primary platform. By the way have you tested your tmux builds on Solaris Intel? Older versions of tmux build and run fine on my SPARC boxes but on Intel there is a problem of various keys (especially backspace) going in the wrong direction and not behaving nicely. I don't know where this is coming from but after this discussion I guess I'm missing other pieces of gnu crap that are needed for tmux to work. /jl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
