Being a happy user of tmux on many other systems (thank you!) I tried to compile tmux on this MacOSX 10.4.11, and have failed.
The problem is that osdep-darwin.c does not compile on 10.4.11 - it uses libproc which (people tell me) has only been introduced in MacOSX 10.5 (Darwin 9) with DTrace. Looking at the history of osdep-darwin.c, e.g. http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-code/ci/7360ff4496bfd159ac5935a18de675f067c375db/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-code/ci/ad2cc63412d563f31b33df3204bb2070cb12f320/ I see that the "lowlevel" sysctl()'s have been gradually replaced by libproc features. This breaks osdep-darwin.c on older Macs (such as my 10.4.11) Temporarily, I have reverted to an older version of osdep-darwin.c http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=51A035A8.6090504%40gmail.com&forum_name=tmux-users and live without the cwd functionality. I tried to rewrite osdep_get_name() and osdep_get_cwd() in the sysctl(CTL_KERN, KERN_PROC, ...) way but I don't know the Darwin internals much; I also tried to mimic osdep-openbsd.c but Darwin lacks things such as KERN_PROC_CWD, the daysaver of osdep-openbsd's osdep_get_cwd(). I am no expert on the nuanced differences between the internals of various BSD-derived systems, but I do believe that getting the cwd and comm of a running process is something very fundamental on all of them; not something that would require DTrace's libproc. So, before I start on a path I don't really know, is there a way to change osdep-darwin to do it the old primitive way, without proc_bsdshortinfo and proc_vnodepathinfo and proc_pidinfo etc? Thank you for your time Jan PS: I am also using macports (www.macports.org) on this Mac, and there is a sysutils/tmux port; it has a patch to osdep-darwin.c that replaces proc_bsdshortinfo with proc_bsdinfo, https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/sysutils/tmux/files/osdep-darwin.c.diff?rev=105099 which makes tmux compile (and run fine) on "older" Macs. The tmux repo itself has this: http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-code/ci/46b3c1a02564268ab810d0f54190f1e8fc1f4f6d/ But "older" here means "older that the latest Apple release" (as usual in the Apple circles); it still does not work on 10.4.11. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38506 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
