Short answer: Just wait until all the patches have been integrated, released possibly in tmux 1.9 and I'll release tmux at OpenCSW so you can do pkgutil -i tmux in the near future without further compilation. Just as a reminder: we already did all the tedious porting of git, so "pkgutil -i git" is sufficient if you need it in the future. >>> 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.

GNU AWK is for generating the manpage only. It is not used to run tmux. > By the way have you tested your tmux builds on Solaris Intel?

You don't need any GNU stuff to *run* tmux, just libevent.
