E) Cygwin
- The code was tested on Cygwin 1.7.15-1. It should also work on other
- recent releases.
+ The code was tested on Cygwin 2.9.0-3 x86 and x86_64. It should also
+ work on other recent releases.
Both Cygwin and Windows versions of smartmontools share the same code
to access the IDE/ATA or SCSI devices. The information in the "Windows"
F) Windows
The code was tested on Windows XP SP3, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1
- and Windows 10 Release Preview. Support von Windows 9x/ME and NT4 was
+ and Windows 10 up to 1709. Support von Windows 9x/ME and NT4 was
removed after smartmontools 5.43.
ATA or SATA devices are supported if the device driver implements
Only the latter provides full pass-through support which is needed
for all smartmontools features.
+ SATA devices behind a Intel RST driver are accessed through CSMI.
+
SCSI and USB devices are accessed through SPTI. Special driver support
is not required.
- 3ware 9000 RAID controllers are supported using features available
- in the Windows driver release 9.4.0 (3wareDrv.sys 3.0.2.70) or later.
- Older drivers provide SMART access to the first physical drive (port)
- of each logical drive (unit). If driver support is not available
- (7000/8000 series, 9000 on XP 64), smartctl can be used to parse SMART
- data output from CLI or 3DM.
-
G) MacOS/Darwin
The code was tested on MacOS 10.3.4. It should work from 10.3
and continue with step [3] below, skipping the "unpack the tarball" step.
The autogen.sh command is ONLY required when installing from
- SVN. You need GNU Autoconf (version 2.50 or greater), GNU Automake
- (version 1.7 or greater) and their dependencies installed in order
- to run it. You can get these here:
- http://directory.fsf.org/project/autoconf/
- http://directory.fsf.org/project/automake/
+ SVN. You need GNU Autoconf (version 2.60 or greater), GNU Automake
+ (version 1.10 or greater) and their dependencies installed in order
+ to run it.

These will usually not overwrite existing "distribution" installations on
Linux Systems since the FHS reserves this area for use by the system
For different installation locations or distributions, simply add
arguments to ./configure as shown in [4] below.
- If you wish to alter the default C++ compiler flags, set an
- environment variable CXXFLAGS='your options' before doing
- ./configure, or else do:
- make CXXFLAGS='your options'

Cross-compile statically linked 32-bit and 64-bit versions with MinGW-w64:

Tested on Cygwin, Debian and Fedora.
The binary distribution includes all documentation files converted
to DOS text file format and *.html and *.txt preformatted man pages.

+To prepare os_win32/vc14 directory for MS Visual Studio C++ 2015 builds,
use the following on MSYS or Cygwin:
mkdir vctmp && cd vctmp
../configure [... any MinGW option set from above ...]
- make config-vc10
+ make config-vc14
- The MSVC project files (os_win32/vc10/*) are included in SVN (but not
- in source tarball). The target config-vc10 from a Makefile configured

The configure skript must be run outside of the source directory to
avoid inclusion of the original config.h.
