Thank you @mnsmar
The above from @StevenShi-23 and @amlestin (including the part about adding to $PATH) worked for me on Centos 7.6. Thanks!
I updated for 2.9a.

Curious, why not use make install
after compiling Tmux rather than cp tmux $HOME/local/bin
?
Not a big difference, but you are missing the man page:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/flakrat/sources/tmux-2.9a'
/usr/bin/mkdir -p '/home/flakrat/local/bin'
/usr/bin/install -c tmux '/home/flakrat/local/bin'
make install-exec-hook
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/flakrat/sources/tmux-2.9a'
if test xmdoc = xmdoc; then \
sed -e "s|@SYSCONFDIR@|/etc|g" ./tmux.1 \
>./tmux.1.mdoc; \
else \
sed -e "s|@SYSCONFDIR@|/etc|g" ./tmux.1| \
gawk -f ./mdoc2man.awk >./tmux.1.man; \
fi
/usr/bin/mkdir -p /home/flakrat/local/share/man/man1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./tmux.1.mdoc \
/home/flakrat/local/share/man/man1/tmux.1
Note: The latest version of tmux (3.0a) is distributed as an Appimage. So you can simply download the Appimage and either:
- Put the Appimage somewhere on your path (and thus call
tmux.Appimage
directly) or - Extract out the Appimage. This may be necessary depending on whether your machine can directly run Appimages.
Thank you so much!
For anyone looking to do this for Windows. Installing Tmux in Git Bash for instance without admin privileges.
You can grab the file from https://packages.msys2.org/package/tmux?repo=msys&variant=x86_64 and it contains tmux.exe
along with appendices.
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/tmux/PKGBUILD is how they build it.
Wow this is an older version of my build script, I will have to look through the commits for suggestions
https://github.com/nodswal/tmux-install
@StevenShi-23 script is breaking in
CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses" LDFLAGS="-static -L$HOME/local/include -L$HOME/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/local/lib" make
with
make: *** No rule to make target 'compat/forkpty-linux.c', needed by 'compat/forkpty-linux.o'. Stop.
I am using CentOS 6.10. Any ideas?
Any solution to this? I know CentOS6.10 is ancient but that is the version @StevenShi-23 and I are using. Is this only a problem on older distros? tmux refuses to to continue to compile with this error:
$ ./configure CFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/local/lib -L$HOME/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/local/include" CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses" LDFLAGS="-static -L$HOME/local/include -L$HOME/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/local/lib"

I can get past it if I just run
./configure CFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses -I$HOME/local/include/event2" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/local/lib -L$HOME/local/include/ncurses -L$HOME/local/include -L$HOME/local/include/event2" CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include -I$HOME/local/include/ncurses -I$HOME/local/include/event2"
However after I make
tmux throws this error:
$tmux -V
./tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ldd ./tmux

configure refuses to link the library for libevent, I cant figure out why. Anyone know?
EDIT: Got it working, followed this post here.
Steps to fix. Do not compile the way the script as above, do the following after you untar tmux and go into the directory.
export DIR="$HOME/local"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$DIR/lib
./configure --prefix=$DIR CFLAGS="-I$DIR/include" LDFLAGS="-L$DIR/lib"
make
make install
One more note, all the posts about using autogen.sh
, that did not work for me because aclocal was not installed. To avoid having to install autogen and autoconf I just downloaded the release version from here
https://github.com/tmux/tmux/releases/download/2.2/tmux-2.2.tar.gz
Change the version to what you want, like this. The configure script should be inside so you dont need to use autogen
https://github.com/tmux/tmux/releases/download/2.8/tmux-2.8.tar.gz
Just updated links of latest tmux and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
