Hi, I'm going to build tmux from source on AIX 7.1. Reasons:
- Terminal multiplexers are a must
- tmux is to GNU screen (part of Toolbox) what vim is to the default AIX vi.
- The later versions of tmux are considerably nicer than older versions.
- Also, looks like IBM compiled screen without 256 colour support!
I'll post updates once I manage to build and run it successfully. If there is any interest I can provide detailed instructions, maybe even an
installp package.
