I prefer btop over top, htop or bpytop. Unfortunately, it still tells me it needs GCC when I try to install btop from the mimugmail repo.

What I really do not get: In OPNsense 24.1.9, this was not even an issue. I simply downloaded the sysutils ports, went into the directory of btop, did a "make install clean" - done (okay, after three hours of compiling). From one version to the next, I find myself confronted with insurmountable difficulties in search of a small tool which I happen to like.

I would like to install btop, but it is not in the repositories.
So I downloaded the ports from sysutils, see https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=33190.msg164565#msg164565

But a "make install" in the directory of btop fails with error message that at least gcc 10.1.0 and Clang 16.0.0 are required.
These, too, do not seem to be in the repositories, a "pkg install gcc" or "pkg install clang" also gives me the error message that it is not in the repositories.

How can I install btop or at least the compiler tools to compile it?

Thanks!

... aaaaand with today's installation (July 17, 2024), it worked well and installed. This topic can be closed as resolved.

I downloaded OPNsense on the evening of July 14th, so this was version 24.1.10_1 or 24.1.10_2
I installed and updated it, so it was on version 24.1.10_3
Then I tried to install the plugin clamAV, but I received an error message, saying:

***GOT REQUEST TO INSTALL***
Currently running OPNsense 24.1 at Mon Jul 15 18:50:33 CEST 2024
Installation out of date. The update to opnsense-24.1.10_3 is required.
***DONE***

So OPNsense 24.1.10_3 self-identifies as 24.1, and therefore, clamAV (and possibly other plugins) refuses to install.
