It is able to -obtain information from both hardware and basic software, and organize them -in a simple to use GUI. - -Features include: -- Report generation (in either HTML or plain text) -- Benchmark result synchronization -- Ability to explore the information on remote computers - - -DEPENDENCIES ------------- - -Required: -- GTK+ 2.10 (or newer) -- GLib 2.10 (or newer) - -Optional (for synchronization/remote): -- Libsoup 2.24 (or newer) - -If having trouble building with libsoup, disable it with: - cmake -DHARDINFO_NOSYNC=1 - -BUILDING --------- - -HardInfo previously used a hand-made Makefile and configure scripts, but it -is now using CMake. This makes the job of maintaining HardInfo simpler and -also produces better binaries. - -To build, it is recommended to create a build directory and build from -there: - - hardinfo $ mkdir build - hardinfo $ cd build - build $ cmake .. - build $ make - -There are some variables that can be changed: - - CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Can be either Release or Debug - [Default: Release] Debug builds prints messages to console - and are not recommended for general use - CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX Sets the installation prefix. - [Default: /usr/local] - -To set a variable, pass use cmake's -D command-line parameter. For example: - - build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug - -SETTING UP ----------- - -Most things in HardInfo are detected automatically. However, some things -depends on manual set up. They are: - -Sensors -------- - -lm-sensors: If your computer is compatible with lm-sensors module, use the -"sensors-detect" program included with the lm-sensors package, and be sure -to have the detected kernel modules loaded. - -hddtemp: To obtain the hard disk drive temperature, be sure to run hddtemp -in daemon mode, using the default port. - |
