ok, shouldn't this be picked up by ./configure then?

Hmmm... sorry i've just found the reason, so maybe let's just wait for responsible experts :D

I found that reason too but did not seem too relevant as we are not trying to compile ELF binaries on Win but to make sure htop is installable and thus detects all required settings.

Let's see what the solution may be!

Hi!

htop was initially designed specifically for Linux and was never ported to Cygwin. Getting it to work there will definitely require patches, starting with ./configure and then on to the code... it's not a simple matter of getting it to build as in other cross-platform software.

In any case, if anyone gets a working Cygwin port going, patches are welcome!

The mention about OS X made me try to build htop-osx under Cygwin. The good news is that it built successfully on the first try. The bad news is that it doesn't use the emulated proc filesystem that Cygwin provides. This is obvious as OS X doesn't have any. I think a happy medium may be reached between the two, but my C-fu is not strong.

Here's htop.exe running alongside top, using Babun as environment (Cygwin + the whole shebang). The build dependencies were a pact install autoconf automake libtool away.
