Building on MAC

[Steph van Schalkwyk]

Hi

Could someone please point me to the docs for building this on MAC? I'm a Linux person but recently started at a MAC company.

Thanks

Have a look at this script 

https://github.com/holygeek/install/blob/master/tmux.sh 

I use it to compile tmux on both linux and tmux.

Thank you both! 

Bit the bullet and moved my homebrew installation folder. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64963370/error-cannot-install-in-homebrew-on-arm-processor-in-intel-default-prefix-usr)

It now installs normally. @Trey, it was a permissions issue. Also, homebrew config was out of whack. 

Thanks again

Steph

"In case it may help people facing this issue in the future, I'll share the exact steps that I followed to resolve the issue.

The following CLI commands are intended to be run on an Apple silicon-equipped Mac in the built-in Terminal application running the macOS-default shell, Zsh:

1. Run a Homebrew command to confirm that an error like the following appears:

   $ brew install <formula>
   

   Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
   Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the
   "Alternative Installs" from:
     https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
   

   Or:

   $ brew doctor
   

   Warning: Your Homebrew's prefix is not /opt/homebrew.
   Some of Homebrew's bottles (binary packages) can only be used with the default
   prefix (/opt/homebrew).
   You will encounter build failures with some formulae.
   

   If either of these errors appears, it is likely that the steps below are applicable to your case.

2. Navigate to the /opt folder:

   $ cd /opt
   

3. Create a folder named homebrew. By default superuser privileges are required to write inside of the /opt folder, which means that it is necessary to use sudo:

   $ sudo mkdir homebrew
   

4. Grant write access to the homebrew folder so that your user can perform the Homebrew installation:

   $ sudo chmod go+w homebrew
   

5. Perform the four steps listed on the "Alternative Installs" page (the page mentioned in the first error message in step 1):

   1. Install Homebrew:

      $ curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
      

   2. Set Homebrew's prefix in your current Terminal session:

      $ eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
      

   3. Update Homebrew:

      $ brew update --force --quiet
      

   4. Revoke write access to specific folders and files:

      $ chmod -R go-w "$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh"
      

6. Set Homebrew's prefix in future Terminal sessions by adding the necessary command to one of Zsh's startup files. As far as I can tell, .zshrc is the preferred startup file for this type of command:

   $ echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
   

   Note that if there are any other existing Terminal sessions on your machine that have been open since before running the above command, the correct Homebrew prefix will still be unset in those sessions.

7. Confirm that Homebrew's prefix is now properly set:

   $ type -a brew
   

   brew is /opt/homebrew/bin/brew
   brew is /usr/local/bin/brew
   

   Or:

   $ brew doctor
   

   Your system is ready to brew.
   

It should now be possible to continue using Homebrew normally."

Steph,

You should look into macOS Homebrew: https://brew.sh, it'd be easiest to
install tmux from that.
