Reproducing tmux issuesEdit

Building from source

As I’m building on macOS, I use the same ./configure arguments as in the corresponding Homebrew formula; as of 2024-08 those are as shown below:

git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
cd tmux
sh autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sixel --enable-utf8proc --sysconfdir=/opt/homebrew/etc
make

Spawning a new server with a minimal configuration file

touch tmux.conf
./tmux -L test -f tmux.conf
  • -f to specify the file
  • -L to cause the server to use a distinct socket file from the default (default)

Rereading the configuration file in a running instance

tmux source-file tmux.conf
