26 | [1] System requirements | |
27 | ======================= | |
28 | ||
29 | A) Linux | |
30 | ||
31 | Any Linux distribution will support smartmontools if it has a | |
32 | kernel version greater than or equal to 2.2.14. So any recent | |
33 | Linux distribution should support smartmontools. | |
34 | ||
35 | There are two parts of smartmontools that may require a patched or | |
36 | nonstandard kernel: | |
37 | ||
38 | (1) To get the ATA RETURN SMART STATUS command, the kernel needs | |
39 | to support the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl(). | |
40 | ||
41 | (2) To run Selective Self-tests, the kernel needs to support the | |
42 | HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE ioctl(). | |
43 | ||
44 | If your kernel does not support one or both of these ioctls, then | |
45 | smartmontools will "mostly" work. The things that don't work will | |
46 | give you harmless warning messages. | |
47 | ||
832b75ed GG |
48 | For item (1) above, any 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel will provide |
49 | HDIO_DRIVE_TASK support. Some 2.2.20 and later kernels also | |
50 | provide this support IF they're properly patched and | |
51 | configured. [Andre Hedrick's IDE patches may be found at | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
52 | http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.20/ |
53 | or are available from your local kernel.org mirror. They are not | |
832b75ed GG |
54 | updated for 2.2.21 or later, and may contain a few bugs.]. |
55 | If the configuration option CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL | |
56 | exists in your 2.2.X kernel source code tree, then your 2.2.X | |
57 | kernel will probably support this ioctl. [Note that this kernel | |
58 | configuration option does NOT need to be enabled. Its presence | |
59 | merely indicates that the required HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is | |
60 | supported.] | |
61 | ||
62 | For item (2) above, your kernel must be configured with the kernel | |
63 | configuration option CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO enabled. This | |
64 | configuration option is present in all 2.4 and 2.6 series | |
65 | kernels. Some 2.2.20 and later kernels also provide this support | |
66 | IF they're properly patched and configured as described above. | |
67 | ||
68 | Please see FAQ section of the URL above for additional details. | |
69 | ||
70 | If you are using 3ware controllers, for full functionality you | |
71 | must either use version 1.02.00.037 or greater of the 3w-xxxx | |
72 | driver, or patch earlier 3ware 3w-xxxx drivers. See | |
73 | http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/3w-xxxx.txt | |
74 | for the patch. The version 1.02.00.037 3w-xxxx.c driver was | |
75 | incorporated into kernel 2.4.23-bk2 on 3 December 2003 and into | |
76 | kernel 2.6.0-test5-bk11 on 23 September 2003. | |
77 | ||
78 | B) FreeBSD | |
79 | ||
80 | For FreeBSD support, a 5-current kernel that includes ATAng is | |
81 | required in order to support ATA drives. Even current versions of | |
82 | ATAng will not support 100% operation, as the SMART status can not | |
83 | be reliably retrieved. There is patch pending approval of the | |
84 | ATAng driver maintainer that will address this issue. | |
85 | ||
86 | C) Solaris | |
87 | ||
88 | The SCSI code has been tested on a variety of Solaris 8 and 9 | |
89 | systems. ATA/IDE code only works on SPARC platform. All tested | |
90 | kernels worked correctly. | |
91 | ||
92 | D) NetBSD/OpenBSD | |
93 | ||
94 | The code was tested on a 1.6ZG (i.e., 1.6-current) system. It should | |
95 | also function under 1.6.1 and later releases (unverified). Currently | |
96 | it doesn't support ATA devices on 3ware RAID controllers. | |
97 | ||
98 | E) Cygwin | |
99 | ||
cfbba5b9 GI |
100 | The code was tested on Cygwin 1.7.7-1. It should also work on other |
101 | recent releases. | |
832b75ed GG |
102 | |
103 | Both Cygwin and Windows versions of smartmontools share the same code | |
104 | to access the IDE/ATA or SCSI devices. The information in the "Windows" | |
105 | section below also applies to the Cygwin version. | |
106 | ||
107 | F) Windows | |
108 | ||
bed94269 | 109 | The code was tested on Windows 98SE, ME, NT4(SP5,SP6), 2000(SP4), |
cfbba5b9 | 110 | XP(up to SP3), 2003, Vista and Windows 7. |
bed94269 GI |
111 | |
112 | -- Windows 9x/ME | |
832b75ed GG |
113 | |
114 | On 9x/ME, only standard (legacy) IDE/ATA devices 0-3 are supported. | |
115 | The driver SMARTVSD.VXD must be present in WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS | |
116 | to get loaded at Windows startup. The default location in a new | |
117 | installation of some versions of Windows is the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder. | |
118 | In this case, move SMARTVSD.VXD to WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS and reboot | |
4d59bff9 | 119 | (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265854/en-us). |
832b75ed GG |
120 | |
121 | SMARTVSD.VXD relies on the standard IDE port driver ESDI_506.PDR. | |
122 | If the system uses a vendor specific driver, access of SMART data | |
bed94269 | 123 | is not possible. |
832b75ed | 124 | |
4d59bff9 GG |
125 | Some ATA controllers (e.g. Promise) provided a custom SMARTVSD.VXD |
126 | for their Win9x/ME driver. To access SMART data from both the legacy | |
127 | (/dev/h[a-d]) and this additional (/dev/hd[e-h]) controller, rename | |
128 | this file to SMARTVSE.VXD. Open the file with a hex editor and replace | |
129 | all occurrences of the string "SMARTVSD" with "SMARTVSE". Then reinstall | |
130 | the original Windows SMARTVSD.VXD. | |
131 | ||
bed94269 GI |
132 | To access SCSI and USB devices, an installed ASPI interface (WNASPI32.DLL) |
133 | is required. The code was tested with Adaptec Windows ASPI drivers 4.71.2. | |
134 | (http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/_eol/scsi_sw/ASPI-4.70/) | |
135 | Links to other ASPI drivers can be found at http://www.nu2.nu/aspi/. | |
136 | ||
cfbba5b9 | 137 | -- Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7 |
832b75ed | 138 | |
bed94269 GI |
139 | ATA or SATA devices are supported if the device driver implements |
140 | the SMART IOCTLs or IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH or IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH. | |
141 | The ATA SMART READ LOG command (smartctl -l, --log, -a, --all) is not | |
142 | supported if only the SMART IOCTLs are implemented. | |
832b75ed | 143 | |
bed94269 GI |
144 | SCSI and USB devices are accessed through SPTI. Special driver support |
145 | is not required. | |
4d59bff9 | 146 | |
bed94269 | 147 | 3ware 9000 RAID controllers are supported using features available |
ba59cff1 GG |
148 | in the Windows driver release 9.4.0 (3wareDrv.sys 3.0.2.70) or later. |
149 | Older drivers provide SMART access to the first physical drive (port) | |
9ebc753d GG |
150 | of each logical drive (unit). If driver support is not available |
151 | (7000/8000 series, 9000 on XP 64), smartctl can be used to parse SMART | |
152 | data output from CLI or 3DM. | |
832b75ed GG |
153 | |
154 | G) MacOS/Darwin | |
155 | ||
156 | The code was tested on MacOS 10.3.4. It should work from 10.3 | |
157 | forwards. It doesn't support 10.2. | |
158 | ||
4d59bff9 GG |
159 | It's important to know that on 10.3.x, some things don't work |
160 | (see WARNINGS): due to bugs in the libraries used, you cannot run | |
161 | a short test or switch SMART support off on a drive; if you try, | |
162 | you will just run an extended test or switch SMART support on. So | |
163 | don't panic when your "short" test seems to be taking hours. | |
832b75ed GG |
164 | |
165 | It's also not possible at present to control when the offline | |
166 | routine runs. If your drive doesn't have it running automatically by | |
167 | default, you can't run it at all. | |
168 | ||
169 | SCSI devices are not currently supported. Detecting the power | |
170 | status of a drive is also not currently supported. | |
171 | ||
172 | To summarize this, from another point of view, the things that | |
173 | are not supported fall into two categories: | |
174 | ||
175 | * Can't be implemented easily without more kernel-level support, | |
176 | so far as I know: | |
177 | - running immediate offline, conveyance, or selective tests | |
178 | - running any test in captive mode | |
179 | - aborting tests | |
180 | - switching automatic offline testing on or off | |
181 | - support for SCSI | |
182 | - checking the power mode [-n Directive of smartd] (this is not | |
183 | completely impossible, but not by using a documented API) | |
184 | ||
4d59bff9 | 185 | * Work on 10.4 and later, but not on 10.3: |
832b75ed GG |
186 | - switching off SMART (switching *on* works fine) |
187 | - switching off auto-save (but why would you want to?) | |
188 | - running the short test (that leaves you with only the extended test) | |
189 | ||
832b75ed GG |
190 | However, some things do work well. For ATA devices, all the |
191 | informational output is available, unless you want something that only | |
4d59bff9 GG |
192 | an offline test updates. On many newer Mac OS systems, the |
193 | hard drive comes with the offline test switched on by default, so | |
194 | even that works. | |
832b75ed GG |
195 | |
196 | H) OS/2, eComStation | |
197 | ||
198 | The code was tested on eComStation 1.1, but it should work on all versions | |
199 | of OS/2. | |
200 | Innotek LibC 0.5 runtime is required. | |
201 | Currently only ATA disks are supported, SCSI support will be added. | |
202 | ||
2127e193 | 203 | [2] Installing from SVN |
832b75ed | 204 | ======================= |
2127e193 GI |
205 | |
206 | Get the sources from the SVN repository: | |
207 | svn co https://smartmontools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/smartmontools/trunk/smartmontools smartmontools | |
832b75ed GG |
208 | |
209 | Then type: | |
210 | ./autogen.sh | |
211 | and continue with step [3] below, skipping the "unpack the tarball" step. | |
212 | ||
832b75ed | 213 | The autogen.sh command is ONLY required when installing from |
2127e193 GI |
214 | SVN. You need GNU Autoconf (version 2.50 or greater), GNU Automake |
215 | (version 1.7 or greater) and their dependencies installed in order | |
832b75ed | 216 | to run it. You can get these here: |
cfbba5b9 GI |
217 | http://directory.fsf.org/project/autoconf/ |
218 | http://directory.fsf.org/project/automake/ | |
832b75ed GG |
219 | |
220 | [3] Installing from the source tarball | |
221 | ====================================== | |
222 | ||
2127e193 | 223 | If you are NOT installing from SVN, then unpack the tarball: |
832b75ed GG |
224 | tar zxvf smartmontools-5.VERSION.tar.gz |
225 | ||
226 | Then: | |
227 | ./configure | |
228 | make | |
229 | make install (you may need to be root to do this) | |
230 | ||
231 | As shown (with no options to ./configure) this defaults to the | |
cfbba5b9 | 232 | following set of installation directories: |
832b75ed GG |
233 | --prefix=/usr/local |
234 | --sbindir=/usr/local/sbin | |
235 | --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc | |
236 | --mandir=/usr/local/share/man | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
237 | --[with-]docdir=/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools |
238 | --with-drivedbdir=/usr/local/share/smartmontools | |
832b75ed | 239 | --with-initscriptdir=/usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d |
cfbba5b9 GI |
240 | --enable-drivedb |
241 | --disable-attributelog | |
832b75ed | 242 | --disable-sample |
cfbba5b9 GI |
243 | --disable-savestates |
244 | --with-libcap-ng=auto | |
245 | --without-selinux | |
832b75ed GG |
246 | |
247 | These will usually not overwrite existing "distribution" installations on | |
248 | Linux Systems since the FHS reserves this area for use by the system | |
249 | administrator. | |
250 | ||
251 | For different installation locations or distributions, simply add | |
252 | arguments to ./configure as shown in [4] below. | |
253 | ||
cfbba5b9 GI |
254 | If you wish to alter the default C++ compiler flags, set an |
255 | environment variable CXXFLAGS='your options' before doing | |
832b75ed | 256 | ./configure, or else do: |
cfbba5b9 | 257 | make CXXFLAGS='your options' |
832b75ed | 258 | |
2127e193 GI |
259 | The first output line of smartctl and smartd provides information |
260 | about release number, last SVN checkin date and revison, platform, | |
261 | and package. The latter defaults to "(local build)" and can be | |
262 | changed by the variable BUILD_INFO, for example: | |
263 | make BUILD_INFO='"(Debian 5.39-2)"' | |
264 | ||
832b75ed GG |
265 | [4] Guidelines for different Linux distributions |
266 | ================================================ | |
267 | ||
268 | Note: Please send corrections/additions to: | |
269 | smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net | |
270 | ||
271 | Debian: | |
272 | If you don't want to overwrite any distribution package, use: | |
273 | ./configure | |
274 | ||
275 | Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/): | |
276 | ./configure --sbindir=/usr/local/sbin \ | |
277 | --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc \ | |
278 | --mandir=/usr/local/man \ | |
279 | --with-initscriptdir=/usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d \ | |
280 | --with-docdir=/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION | |
281 | ||
282 | Red Hat: | |
283 | ./configure --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
284 | --sysconfdir=/etc \ |
285 | --mandir=/usr/share/man \ | |
286 | --with-initscriptdir=/etc/rc.d/init.d \ | |
287 | --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION | |
832b75ed GG |
288 | |
289 | Slackware: | |
290 | If you don't want to overwrite any "distribution" package, use: | |
291 | ./configure | |
292 | ||
293 | Otherwise use: | |
294 | ./configure --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ | |
295 | --sysconfdir=/etc \ | |
296 | --mandir=/usr/share/man \ | |
297 | --with-initscriptdir=/etc/rc.d \ | |
298 | --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION | |
299 | ||
300 | And | |
301 | removepkg smartmontools smartsuite (only root can do this) | |
302 | before make install | |
303 | ||
304 | The init script works on Slackware. You just have to add an entry like | |
305 | the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.M or /etc/rc.d/rc.local: | |
306 | ||
307 | if [ -x /etc/rc.d/smartd ]; then | |
308 | . /etc/rc.d/smartd start | |
309 | fi | |
310 | ||
311 | To disable it: | |
312 | chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/smartd | |
313 | ||
314 | For a list of options: | |
315 | /etc/rc.d/smartd | |
316 | ||
317 | SuSE: | |
318 | ./configure --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ | |
319 | --sysconfdir=/etc \ | |
320 | --mandir=/usr/share/man \ | |
321 | --with-initscriptdir=/etc/init.d \ | |
322 | --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/packages/smartmontools-VERSION | |
323 | ||
324 | [5] Guidelines for FreeBSD | |
325 | ========================== | |
326 | To match the way it will installed when it becomes available as a PORT, use | |
327 | the following: | |
328 | ||
329 | ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \ | |
330 | --with-initscriptdir=/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ \ | |
331 | --with-docdir=/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \ | |
cfbba5b9 | 332 | --enable-sample |
832b75ed | 333 | |
832b75ed GG |
334 | NOTE: --enable-sample will cause the smartd.conf and smartd RC files to |
335 | be installed with the string '.sample' append to the name, so you will end | |
336 | up with the following: | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
337 | /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample |
338 | /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.sample | |
832b75ed GG |
339 | |
340 | ||
341 | [6] Guidelines for Darwin | |
342 | ========================= | |
343 | ./configure --with-initscriptdir=/Library/StartupItems | |
344 | ||
4d59bff9 GG |
345 | If you'd like to build the i386 version on a powerpc machine, you can |
346 | use | |
347 | ||
a37e7145 | 348 | CXX='g++ -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386' \ |
4d59bff9 | 349 | ./configure --host=i386-apple-darwin \ |
cfbba5b9 | 350 | --with-initscriptdir=/Library/StartupItems |
832b75ed GG |
351 | |
352 | [7] Guidelines for NetBSD/OpenBSD | |
353 | ================================= | |
354 | ./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg \ | |
cfbba5b9 | 355 | --with-docdir=/usr/pkg/share/doc/smartmontools |
832b75ed GG |
356 | |
357 | On OpenBSD, it is important that you use GNU make (gmake from | |
358 | /usr/ports/devel/gmake) to build smartmontools, as the BSD make doesn't | |
359 | know how to make the manpages. | |
360 | ||
361 | [8] Guidelines for Solaris | |
362 | ========================== | |
363 | ||
364 | smartmontools has been partially but not completely ported to | |
365 | Solaris. It includes complete SCSI support but no ATA or 3ware | |
2127e193 GI |
366 | support. It can be compiled with either CC (Sun's C++ compiler) |
367 | or GNU g++. | |
368 | ||
369 | To compile with g++: | |
832b75ed GG |
370 | |
371 | ./configure [args] | |
372 | make | |
373 | ||
2127e193 | 374 | To compile with Sun CC: |
832b75ed | 375 | |
2127e193 | 376 | env CC=cc CXX=CC ./configure [args] |
832b75ed GG |
377 | make |
378 | ||
379 | The correct arguments [args] to configure are: | |
380 | --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ | |
381 | --sysconfdir=/etc \ | |
382 | --mandir=/usr/share/man \ | |
383 | --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \ | |
384 | --with-initscriptdir=/etc/init.d | |
385 | ||
386 | To start the script automatically on bootup, create hardlinks that | |
387 | indicate when to start/stop in: | |
cfbba5b9 | 388 | /etc/rc[S0123].d/ |
832b75ed | 389 | pointing to /etc/init.d/smartd. Create: |
cfbba5b9 GI |
390 | K<knum>smartd in rcS.d, rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d |
391 | S<snum>smartd in rc3.d | |
832b75ed GG |
392 | where <knum> is related to <snum> such that the higher snum is the |
393 | lower knum must be. | |
394 | ||
395 | On usual configuration, '95' would be suitable for <snum> and '05' | |
396 | for <knum> respectively. If you choose these value, you can | |
397 | create hardlinks by: | |
398 | ||
399 | cd /etc | |
400 | sh -c 'for n in S 0 1 2; do ln init.d/smartd rc$n.d/K05smartd; done' | |
401 | sh -c 'for n in 3 ; do ln init.d/smartd rc$n.d/S95smartd; done' | |
402 | ||
403 | [9] Guidelines for Cygwin | |
404 | ========================= | |
405 | ||
406 | Same as Red Hat: | |
407 | ./configure --prefix=/usr \ | |
408 | --sysconfdir=/etc \ | |
409 | --mandir='${prefix}/share/man' | |

418 | Using DOS text file type as default for the working directories ("textmode" | |
419 | mount option) is not recommended. Building the binaries and man pages using | |
420 | "make" is possible, but "make dist" and related targets work only with UNIX | |
421 | file type ("binmode" mount option) set. The "autogen.sh" script prints a | |
422 | warning if DOS type is selected. | |
423 | ||
2127e193 | 424 | If installing from SVN, you may check out all files either with CR/LF |
ba59cff1 GG |
425 | or LF line endings. Starting with release 3.1-7, Cygwin's bash does no |
426 | longer accept scripts with CR/LF by default. To run the initial script | |
427 | ./autogen.sh checked out with CR/LF on a "binmode" mount, type: | |
428 | ||
429 | bash -O igncr ./autogen.sh | |
430 | ||
431 | instead. This is not necessary for the generated ./configure script. | |

477 | To build the Windows binary distribution, use: |
478 | ||
479 | make dist-win32 | |
4d59bff9 | 480 | |
832b75ed GG |
481 | This builds the distribution in directory |
482 | ||
483 | ./smartmontools-VERSION.win32/ | |
484 | ||
485 | and packs it into | |
486 | ||
487 | ./smartmontools-VERSION.win32.zip | |
488 | ||
4d59bff9 GG |
489 | To create a Windows installer, use: |
490 | ||
491 | make installer-win32 | |
492 | ||
493 | This builds the distribution directory and packs it into the | |
494 | self-extracting install program | |
495 | ||
496 | ./smartmontools-VERSION.win32-setup.exe | |
497 | ||
498 | The installer is build using the command "makensis" from the NSIS | |
499 | package. See http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ for documentation and | |
2127e193 | 500 | download location. |
4d59bff9 | 501 | |
7f0798ef GI |
502 | It is also possible to (cross-)build the installer on Linux. |
503 | This was successfully tested on Debian with package "nsis". | |
504 | ||
4d59bff9 GG |
505 | To both create and run the (interactive) installer, use: |
506 | ||
507 | make install-win32 | |
508 | ||
832b75ed GG |
509 | Additional make targets are distdir-win32 to build the directory |
510 | only and cleandist-win32 for cleanup. | |
511 | ||
512 | The binary distribution includes all documentation files converted | |
513 | to DOS text file format and *.html and *.txt preformatted man pages. | |
514 | The tools unix2dos.exe (package cygutils) and zip.exe (package zip | |
515 | or a native Win32 release of Info-ZIP, http://www.info-zip.org) are | |
516 | necessary but may be not installed by Cygwin's default settings. | |
517 | ||
cfbba5b9 GI |
518 | The event message file tool syslogevt.exe (see smartd man page) is |
519 | included in the binary distribution if message compiler (windmc) | |
520 | and resource compiler (windres) are available. This may be disabled | |
521 | by passing 'WINDMC=no' to configure. | |
522 | ||
523 | To prepare os_win32 directory for MSVC8, use the following on MSYS | |
524 | or Cygwin: | |
2127e193 GI |
525 | |
526 | mkdir vctmp && cd vctmp | |
cfbba5b9 | 527 | ../configure [... any MinGW option set from above ...] |
2127e193 | 528 | make config-vc8 |
832b75ed | 529 | |
2127e193 GI |
530 | The MSVC8 project files (os_win32/smartmontools_vc8.sln, |
531 | os_win32/smart{ctl,d}_vc8.vcproj) are included in SVN (but not in | |
532 | source tarball). The target config-vc8 from a Makefile configured | |
533 | for MinGW creates os_win32/{config,svnversion}_vc8.h from | |
534 | ./{config,svnversion}.h. The configure skript must be run outside | |
535 | of the source directory to avoid inclusion of the original config.h. | |

538 | [11] Guidelines for OS/2, eComStation | |
539 | ===================================== | |
540 | ||
541 | To compile the OS/2 code, please run | |
542 | ||
543 | ./os_os2/configure.os2 | |
544 | make | |
545 | make install | |
546 | ||
547 | [12] Guidelines for OpenBSD | |
548 | ========================== | |
549 | To match the way it will installed when it becomes available as a PORT, use | |
550 | the following: | |
551 | ||
552 | ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \ | |
cfbba5b9 | 553 | --sysconfdir=/etc |
832b75ed GG |
554 | --with-initscriptdir=/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \ |
555 | --with-docdir=/usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION \ | |
cfbba5b9 | 556 | --enable-sample |
832b75ed GG |
557 | |
558 | It is important that you use GNU make (gmake from /usr/ports/devel/gmake) | |
559 | to build smartmontools, as the default OpenBSD make doesn't know how to build | |
560 | the man pages. | |
561 | ||
562 | NOTE1: --with-initscriptdir installs a SystemV startup script. It really | |
563 | should be --without-initscriptdir, but the Makefile code is incorrect and | |
564 | trys to install the initscript (smartd) to /no. So, an interim fix it to | |
565 | set the initscript dir to the doc dir. | |
566 | ||
567 | NOTE2: --enable-sample will cause the smartd.conf and smartd RC files to | |
568 | be installed with the string '.sample' append to the name, so you will end | |
569 | up with the following: | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
570 | /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample |
571 | /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.sample | |
832b75ed GG |

573 | [13] Comments | |
574 | ============ | |
575 | ||
576 | To compile from another directory, you can replace the step | |
577 | ./configure [options] | |
578 | by the following: | |
579 | mkdir objdir | |
580 | cd objdir | |
581 | ../configure [options] | |
582 | ||
583 | To install to another destination (used mainly by package maintainers, | |
584 | or to examine the package contents without risk of modifying any | |
585 | system files) you can replace the step: | |
586 | make install | |
587 | with: | |
588 | make DESTDIR=/home/myself/smartmontools-package install | |
589 | ||
590 | Use a full path. Paths like ~/smartmontools-package may not work. | |
591 | ||
592 | After installing smartmontools, you can read the man pages, and try | |
593 | out the commands: | |
594 | ||
595 | man smartd.conf | |
596 | man smartctl | |
597 | man smartd | |
598 | ||
599 | /usr/sbin/smartctl -s on -o on -S on /dev/hda (only root can do this) | |
600 | /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/hda (only root can do this) | |
601 | ||
602 | Note that the default location for the manual pages are | |
603 | /usr/share/man/man5 and /usr/share/man/man8. If "man" doesn't find | |
604 | them, you may need to add /usr/share/man to your MANPATH environment | |
605 | variable. | |

639 | The commands: | |
640 | ||
641 | make htmlman | |
642 | make txtman | |
643 | ||
644 | may be used to build .html and .txt preformatted man pages. | |

646 | distribution. | |
647 | The commands also work on other operating system configurations | |
648 | if suitable versions of man2html, groff and grotty are installed. | |
649 | On systems without man2html, the following command should work | |
650 | if groff is available: | |

658 | ||
659 | doxygen | |
660 | ||
661 | creates HTML documentation in doc/html and LaTeX documentation | |
662 | in doc/latex. If TeX is installed, the following command creates | |

668 | [14] Detailed description of arguments to configure command |
669 | =========================================================== | |
670 | ||
671 | When you type: | |
672 | ./configure [options] | |
673 | there are six particularly important variables that affect where the | |
674 | smartmontools software is installed. The variables are listed here, | |
675 | with their default values in square brackets, and the quantities that | |
676 | they affect described following that. This is a very wide table: please read | |
677 | it in a wide window. | |
678 | ||
679 | OPTIONS DEFAULT AFFECTS | |
680 | ------- ------- ------- | |
681 | --prefix /usr/local Please see below | |
682 | --sbindir ${prefix}/sbin Directory for smartd/smartctl executables; | |
683 | Contents of smartd/smartctl man pages | |
a23d5117 GI |
684 | --docdir ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools Location of the documentation |
685 | (autoconf >= 2.60 only, see also --with-docdir below) | |
832b75ed GG |
686 | --mandir ${prefix}/share/man Directory for smartctl/smartd/smartd.conf man pages |
687 | --sysconfdir ${prefix}/etc Directory for smartd.conf; | |
688 | Contents of smartd executable; | |
689 | Contents of smartd/smartd.conf man pages; | |
690 | Directory for rc.d/init.d/smartd init script | |
a7e8ffec GI |
691 | --with-initscriptdir auto Location of init scripts |
692 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir auto Location of systemd service files | |
a23d5117 | 693 | --with-docdir ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools Location of the documentation |
cfbba5b9 | 694 | --with-exampledir ${docdir}/examplescripts Location of example scripts |
2127e193 GI |
695 | --enable-sample --disable-sample Adds the string '.sample' to the names of the smartd.conf file and the smartd RC file |
696 | --with-os-deps os_<guessed>.o OS dependent module(s) | |
cfbba5b9 | 697 | --with-selinux --without-selinux Enables SELinux support. If smartmontools has to create the /dev/tw[ae] device |
2127e193 GI |
698 | nodes for 3ware/AMCC controllers, this option ensures that the nodes are created |
699 | with correct SELinux file contexts. | |
cfbba5b9 | 700 | --with-libcap-ng --with-libcap-ng=auto Enables/disables libcap-ng support. If enabled and libcap-ng is |
a23d5117 | 701 | available, option --capabilities is added to smartd. |
cfbba5b9 | 702 | --disable-drivedb --enable-drivedb Disables default drive database file '${drivedbdir}/drivedb.h' |
bed94269 | 703 | --with-drivedbdir ${prefix}/share/smartmontools Directory for 'drivedb.h' (implies --enable-drivedb) |
2127e193 | 704 | --enable-savestates --disable-savestates Enables default smartd state files '${savestates}MODEL-SERIAL.ata.state' |
bed94269 GI |
705 | --with-savestates ${prefix}/var/lib/smartmontools/smartd. Prefix for smartd state files (implies --enable-savestates) |
706 | --enable-attributelog --disable-attributelog Enables default smartd attribute log files | |
707 | --with-attributelog ${prefix}/var/lib/smartmontools/attrlog. Prefix for smartd attribute log files (implies --enable-attributelog) | |
832b75ed | 708 | |
a23d5117 GI |
709 | Please note that in previous versions of smartmontools (<= 5.39) the |
710 | default for --with-docdir was | |
711 | ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION | |
712 | This was changed to make it consistent with the default of the | |
713 | new --docdir option added in autoconf 2.60. | |
714 | ||
a7e8ffec GI |
715 | The defaults for --with-initscriptdir and --with-systemdsystemunitdir are |
716 | guessed such that the following rules apply: | |
717 | - If --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc is specified, the guessed directories | |
718 | should be the defaults used by the current OS or distribution. | |
719 | - If --sysconfdir=/etc is NOT specified, the guessed directories should | |
720 | always be below ${prefix} or below ${sysconfdir}. | |
721 | ||
832b75ed GG |
722 | Here's an example: |
723 | If you set --prefix=/home/joe and none of the other four | |
724 | variables then the different directories that are used would be: | |
725 | --sbindir /home/joe/sbin | |
a7e8ffec | 726 | --docdir /home/joe/share/doc/smartmontools |
832b75ed GG |
727 | --mandir /home/joe/share/man |
728 | --sysconfdir /home/joe/etc | |
a7e8ffec GI |
729 | --with-exampledir /home/joe/share/doc/smartmontools/examplescripts |
730 | --with-drivedbdir /home/joe/share/smartmontools | |
731 | --with-initscriptdir [see below] | |
732 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir [see below] | |
733 | ||
734 | If systemd is present (and pkg-config reports /lib/systemd/system | |
735 | as the systemdsystemunitdir): | |
736 | ||
737 | --with-initscriptdir [disabled] | |
738 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir /home/joe/lib/systemd/system | |
739 | ||
740 | else if /etc/rc.d/init.d exists: | |
741 | ||
742 | --with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/rc.d/init.d | |
743 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled] | |
744 | ||
745 | else if /etc/init.d exists: | |
746 | ||
747 | --with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/init.d | |
748 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled] | |
749 | ||
750 | else if /etc/rc.d exists: | |
751 | ||
752 | --with-initscriptdir /home/joe/etc/rc.d | |
753 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled] | |
754 | ||
755 | else | |
756 | ||
757 | --with-initscriptdir [disabled] | |
758 | --with-systemdsystemunitdir [disabled] | |
832b75ed GG |
759 | |
760 | This is useful for test installs in a harmless subdirectory somewhere. | |
761 | ||
762 | Here are the four possible cases for the four variables above: | |
763 | ||
764 | Case 1: | |
765 | --prefix not set | |
766 | --variable not set | |
767 | ===> VARIABLE gets default value above | |
768 | ||
769 | Case 2: | |
770 | --prefix set | |
771 | --variable not set | |
772 | ===> VARIABLE gets PREFIX/ prepended to default value above | |
773 | ||
774 | Case 3: | |
775 | --prefix not set | |
776 | --variable set | |
777 | ===> VARIABLE gets value that is set | |
778 | ||
779 | Case 4: | |
780 | --prefix is set | |
781 | --variable is set | |
782 | ===> PREFIX is IGNORED, VARIABLE gets value that is set | |
783 | ||
784 | ||
785 | Here are the differences with and without --enable-sample, assuming | |
a7e8ffec GI |
786 | that initscript location is set and no other options specified |
787 | (see above for details) | |
832b75ed GG |
788 | |
789 | Case 1: | |
790 | --enable-sample provided | |
791 | ==> Files installed are: | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
792 | /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf.sample |
793 | /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd.sample | |
832b75ed GG |
794 | |
795 | Case 2: | |
796 | --disable-sample provided or parameter left out | |
797 | ==> Files installed are: | |
cfbba5b9 GI |
798 | /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf |
799 | /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/smartd | |
