OpenBSD support ?

[joyboy67]

Hello, btop is available for OpenBSD (and NetBSD) ?

[imwints]

No, not for now. Only FreeBSD works at them moment.

How different is the system call API between FreeBSD and OpenBSD? It might be not so much work, but I don't have an OpenBSD install.

I've done a bit of research and this seems like a fun project. Need to install openBSD on a VM or real HW first though.

Installed OpenBSD 7.3 in QEMU (arm64 on M1 MBA)

@joyboy67 Can you give the output of sysctl hw.sensors on a real openbsd system? On a VM there are no sensors.

Adventurous people may try to compile this branch: https://github.com/joske/btop/tree/openbsd

You need to install g++ 11, git and gmake.

@aristocratos On the above branch, most info is now available (only a few details missing). A blocker issue is that keys don't work. For some reason, cin.get() never returns a keypress. I haven't found out why that is yet. Maybe you can have a look?

It's quite easy to install OpenBSD in a VM: download this ISO and install from it.

@aristocratos never mind, fixed. Apparently the problem is

				cin.sync_with_stdio(false);
				cout.sync_with_stdio(false);
