OSX Support

[petems]

No idea how hard this would be, but would be cool to be able to run this on non-Linux OS's, particularly OSX for me 😄

Right now it fails on fatal error: 'linux/taskstats.h' file not found (unsurprising, as it's not Linux)

[mranney]

While the UI is generic, the stats gathering methods are very Linux-specific. We read files from /proc and talk to the Linux taskstats system.

That said, if you or someone else wants to figure out how to get this info out of an OSX kernel, I would be happy to integrate this.

Yeah, there's a bit of existing knowledge from the work on from htop-osx

[mranney]

Oh yeah, I forgot that there's htop for OSX. If there's a way to get time spent in the run queue, then we might be able to do it.

Sadly, I don't have time to embark on this quest. I'm happy to help and advise if you or someone else is though.

Yep, in fact proper OSX support got merged into htop proper recently: https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/blob/master/darwin/DarwinProcess.h

I'm gonna give it a shot but my C knowledge is pretty bare. Hopefully someone who know's more might be able to help in the future 😄
