 I tried to upgrade tmux from @3.7b to tmux @3.7c last night and got this
 error:

 By changing a section of the Portfile from:

 {{{
 platform darwin {
     if {${os.major} < 23} {
         # Before Sonoma, macOS lacked terminal descriptions for tmux,
         # tmux-256color. Fallback on a terminal definition that is
 available on
         # these older versions
         configure.args-append   --with-TERM=screen-256color
     }
 }
 }}}

 to:

 {{{
 platform darwin {
     depends_lib-append      port:jemalloc
     configure.args-append   --enable-jemalloc

     if {${os.major} < 23} {
         # Before Sonoma, macOS lacked terminal descriptions for tmux,
         # tmux-256color. Fallback on a terminal definition that is
 available on
         # these older versions
         configure.args-append   --with-TERM=screen-256color
     }
 }
 }}}

 and then running:

 {{{
 sudo port clean tmux

 sudo port upgrade tmux
 }}}

 It then successfully builds on macOS Sierra:


 {{{
 $ tmux -V
 tmux 3.7c
 }}}


 I will check macOS Catalina shortly and post a quick update.


 Also, FYI by using:

 {{{
 sudo port -d -v upgrade tmux
 }}}

 it does show lots of compiler warnings (no errors thankfully).


 Hope this hopes.

 Cheers.
