Building tmux 1.7 on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Edit

Created 2/24/2013, updated 5/18/2017

This is considerably simpler than building it on CentOS 5.8 (see Building tmux 1.7 on CentOS 5.8) and simpler than it was on older versions of the OS (see Building tmux 1.5 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2):

$ curl -LO http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tmux/tmux-1.7.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf tmux-1.7.tar.gz
$ cd tmux-1.7
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install
