Installing from source is here and the instructions definitely work. Did you remember to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH so ld.so can find the libevent library?
https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Installing This and subsequent sections has stuff about options including the status line: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Getting-Started#changing-options You will want #{version} for tmux version, #{host} or #{host_short} for hostname, look at the table in the man page or do "tmux display -pa" for the others. You cannot copy from choose mode. capture-pane will copy pane content but not from modes. You can change copy mode key bindings: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Getting-Started#key-bindings Or just change "mode-keys" to "vi" to get vi style key bindings instead of emacs.
