I mean for some (all?) of the csw stuff we first have to install your package tools and some prereq (base) packages and then add /opt/csw to the path, correct? I'm saying for me /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/sfw/bin, /opt/firefox, /opt/solstudio, /opt/sfw etc. is enough path hell! Why doesn't everyone use /usr/local and be done with it? This has nothing to do with you, I just prefer not to make things any worse given Solaris path hell. Not that another path would really matter, it's just something I prefer not to participate in. And I guess this discussion should be offline, since the tmux people are probably mostly not interested. My main point is thanks for the work you do, I believe most Solaris users benefit from it in numerous ways whether they use your csw project directly or not. > > By the way have you tested your tmux builds on Solaris Intel?

That's really odd. I wonder what could be causing this. > You don't need any GNU stuff to *run* tmux, just libevent. That's good in this specific case but generally it's sort of academic. Needing gnu stuff to build something is just as bad as needing gnu stuff to run something, unless you have a dedicated build machine. Fortunately, Nicholas has a fix that should work with nawk and I'm sure I'll have an opportunity to test it, although I now have gawk installed as well.
