Wrong instructions in INSTALL

[davejohnson11]

INSTALL says »cd to the directory containing the package's source code and type ./configure«

It gets me »sh: ./configure: No such file or directory«. There is no configure-file. Why?

Smae things here. Looks like this project is outdated, bad, no maintained for years.

you need to run ./autogen.sh first. This project was not setup correctly though, as when you run ./configure it errors out saying

configure: error: Cannot find /proc/stat. Make sure you have a Linux-compatible /proc filesystem mounted. See the file README for help. 

This should not happen, as the entire point of this port is to NOT use the GNU/Linux only /proc system.

EDIT: Sorry I'm dumb. you need to

git clone -b osx https://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx.git

The OS X branch. Then cd into the directory, run ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make. This worked for me. (I also use pkgsrc, so I simply changed glibtoolize to libtoolize in the autogen.sh file). So just try this:

export CFLAGS="-m32" && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make clean && make

I was able to successfully build and run on OS X 10.11.2 Beta 4 after that
