Hello,

i downloaded it here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/hddtemp/

tc@box:~/Downloads/hddtemp-0.3-beta15$ ./configure

Hi lepomis
Did you load the  compiletc.tcz  extension?

[lepomis]

Hi Rich,
unfortunately i don't even know what's that extension...let me load it

[Rich]

Hi lepomis
Compiletc.tcz provides the tools required for compiling.

[lepomis]

perfect it did the trick...

The result running sudo make is:

Hi lepomis.

hddtemp.tcz was available for x86 systems in the TC 4 repository. You may want to copy all relevant files into your system and test. If it works, notify the forum so an administrator can transfer the extension to the TC 6 repository. You didn't mention your architecture - x86?

I'm just learning to compile with TC and am just finishing a thread with almost exact title, if it helps:

Sorry for pasting duplicate link to my thread. Meant this:
http://packages.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?cont=lists&ccname=repolist1&act=view&gcb=1568

Here's the TC 4 repository for the hddtemp.tcz download:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/tcz/

hddtemp does not appear to have dependencies, so just copy the .tcz into your Optional folder. Install the extension with 'tce-load -i hddtemp', then test.

hddtemp copied to tc-5.x/6.x x86 repos

Please feel free to submit an update.

According to the link provided by lepomis the latest version is 0.3-beta15 from 2007. Same version that was already in the TC 4 repository.

Thank you nitram,
I'm running the x86 version of TC
i used hddtemp.tcz you found in the tc4 repo, but i'm pretty interested to solve these error i get when i compile the sources...

testing hdd temp:

tc@box:~/Downloads$ sudo  hddtemp /dev/sda
WARNING: Drive /dev/sda doesn't appear in the database of supported drives
WARNING: But using a common value, it reports something.
WARNING: Note that the temperature shown could be wrong.
WARNING: See --help, --debug and --drivebase options.
WARNING: And don't forget you can add your drive to hddtemp.db
/dev/sda: ST3500418AS                             �:  33 C or  F
tc@box:~/Downloads$

i've never got those two characters near : 33 and also i haven't had problems ussing hddtemp with this hd in the past with other distributions, however 33°C is a reliable value in my opinion.

[Juanito]

Perhaps the gsmartcontrol or smartmontools extensions could give you the hd temp?

[Juanito]

BTW, you can download the hddtemp database like this:

Code: [Select]

$ wget http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/hddtemp/hddtemp.db
..and then copy it to one or more of /usr/local/share/misc, /usr/local/share/hddtemp or /usr/local/share and then run the hddtemp command again.

copied the db to all the three directories...same message, i'll try the other utilities too
