Righteous! Thank you.

Awesome!! Thank you!!

This is amazing .. Thanks you many times

Failing for me on macOS 12.6 with:

bash-3.2$ make CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ssl/include'
making all in crypto...
/usr/bin/perl ../util/mkbuildinf.pl "cc -I/usr/local/ssl/include" "darwin64-x86_64-cc" >buildinf.h
cc -I/usr/local/ssl/include   -c -o cryptlib.o cryptlib.c
In file included from cryptlib.c:117:
./cryptlib.h:65:11: fatal error: 'e_os.h' file not found

          ^~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make[1]: *** [cryptlib.o] Error 1

bash-3.2$

Seems I need the libssl-dev package as per this post. Any thoughts on how to install that without brew?

I was able to get around this by disabling openssl in the libevent configure command: ./configure --disable-openssl. I also had to add --disable-utf8proc to the tmux configure command.
