Has anyone got mouse wheel support working on a PuTTy terminal? I've compiled htop from source against ncurses 6 on Ubuntu, but no luck.

I really enjoyed this talk[1] by Bryan Cantrill, part of which is about what it took to emulate Linux's syscalls from within SmartOS. It's lengthy, but enjoyable. One of the applications that they tried to port directly to before the emulation layer was htop, and he has a good rant about what that took because of its use of /proc and how that made porting it very difficult. Given that, I'm sure this wasn't easy. Kudo…

Cantrill loves to rant, don't he?

He does and he's good at it. It's usually pretty entertaining.

It exposes the same repository as its OSX counterpart, with linux-flavoured customisations where necessary. From feature list at http://linuxbrew.sh/ - Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo - Install software not packaged by the native distribution - Install up-to-date versions of softw…

Nope, I am talking about Homebrew, it provides the best way to install htop on OSX.

The htop package on Homebrew is a fork of the original for OS X called htop-osx.

Didn't know that! Thanks for sharing.

I hope the fork will be deprecated now for the official one. There's already a related issue on the repo.

Oh the vtop inspired bar is def cool! regular top has been catching up though and while htop is different and perhaps still better, regular top does the job for me in most cases.

It might depend on which top (BSD,GNU,?)

gnu of course ;)
