Install from the source tarball
Download the latest source tarball from here. More recent test tarballs build from SVN snapshots are available here.
Uncompress the tarball:
tar zxvf smartmontools-7.1.tar.gz
εδω εχει 6.5 που πρεπει να αλλαξει σε 7.1 [/u]
The previous step created a directory called smartmontools-6.3 containing the code. Go to that directory, build, and install:
- Κώδικας: Επιλογή όλων
cd smartmontools-7.1 **** κι εδω εχει 6.5 που πρεπει να αλλαξει σε 7.1 ****
./configure
make
sudo make install
These optional arguments of ./configure are fully explained in the INSTALL file. The most important one is --prefix to change the default installation directories. If you don't pass any arguments to ./configure all files will reside under /usr/local to not interfere with files from your distribution.
To compile from another directory (avoids overwriting virgin files from the smartmontools package) replace ./configure [options] by:
- Κώδικας: Επιλογή όλων
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure [options]
To install to another destination (useful for testing and to avoid overwriting an existing smartmontools installation) replace make install by:
- Κώδικας: Επιλογή όλων
make DESTDIR=/home/myself/smartmontools-test install
Use a full path: ~/smartmontools-test would work but ./smartmontools-test won't.
The smartmontools binaries for Windows can also be build from the source tarball (or from SVN) using the MinGW or the MinGW-w64 compiler. Build environments may be Cygwin or MSYS, cross-compilation under Linux is also supported. Extra ./configure arguments --host=... and --build=... may be required. The make install command does not work for Windows. See INSTALL file for details.
