./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

I got:

      See the Autoconf documentation.

I was missing some tools to build, solved with:

sudo apt-gen install autogen autoconf libtool

Here is a way to build the .deb package

sudo apt-get install checkinstall
make && sudo -k checkinstall \
    --pkgsource="https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/" \
    --pkglicense="GPL2" \
    --deldesc=no \
    --nodoc \
    --maintainer="$USER\\<[email protected]\\>" \
    --pkgarch=$(dpkg \
    --print-architecture) \
    --pkgversion="2.0.1" \
    --pkgrelease="SNAPSHOT" \
    --pkgname=htop \
    --requires="libc6 \(\>= 2.4\),libncurses5 \(\>= 5.5-5~\),libtinfo5,python" \
    make install
