How do I get the backspace key to send ^H in tmux?
New user to tmux. Unfortunately, one of the first things I discovered is that (in tmux), pressing the backspace key throws out ^? instead of ^H (xterm), which is causing me all sorts of problems. I assume this is relatively easy to reconfigure, but I spent some time searching and reading for how to do it, but couldn't find it. Can you please tell me what to place in the configuration file to get the backspace key to send ^H in tmux? If that is not possible, can you direct me to the correct source file that controls this behavior, and I will patch my own copy and recompile? Thanks.

Re: [PATCH] Makefile.am: remove unsafe headers path
Well, why is it unsafe? I'm not too concerned about crossbuilding TBH. Are you sure this isn't still needed on eg FreeBSD?

Ok, let's me explain my use case. tmux has been packaged in Buildroot [1][2] (and probably Yoto too) and the build system use a cross-compiler to build the entire target system. Also all headers and libraries for the target are installed in a specific directory called STAGING_DIR. So using a path like /usr/local/include can lead to mixing headers from host and target (that may come from different versions). That why all paths that point to a host location (starting with /usr/include, /usr/local/include or /lib) is considered unsafe for cross-compilation. Recently, we added in Buildroot a tool to check if host headers or libraries paths are used [3]. Regarding FreeBSD compatibility, I'm not sure (I'm not a FreeBSB user). Probably yes, they still need /usr/local/include for native build. But I think, it's the user's responsibility to ensure that their compiler searches for headers in the appropriate location, not the tmux's Makefile. Especially when headers paths are passed on the command line. For example, on my Fedora host the /usr/local/include is an empty directory, It's not needed to force to use this path in the CFLAGS even for a native build. Or consider using pkg-config to search for headers and libraries (ncurses and libevent).

Re: [PATCH] Makefile.am: remove unsafe headers path
Hmm well I think it's nice if users can just download the tarball and run configure and it works without having to point it at dependencies, something which regularly confuses users. /usr/local is a common default location for local builds, I've occasionally been tempted to add some others too. Still, I'm not sure there is any evidence having this particulatly helps anybody, libevent and ncurses are part of base on OpenBSD, NetBSD uses /usr/pkg, GCC on Linux mostly searches /usr/local by default. I suspect the FreeBSD compiler searches /usr/local by default as well, I'll have a look at some point. In the meantime, if you add your own include directories, they should be searched first no matter what tmux adds.
