-HardInfo is a system profiler and benchmark for Linux systems. 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.
