Compiling for Linux

Open osxster opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

I was curious if there is a way to compile this for Linux. I'd like to use this on an ESXi host, however ESXi doesn't have a compiler and thus I am trying to get this to compile on CentOS or BSD instead to see if it can be copied over to ESXi.

Below I am trying with CentOS 8.1, I am able to get this to get a lot of the way through, but it fails a trying to find mach/mach_host.h. See below:

[root@localhost xserve-frontpanel-master]# cmake . && make -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /home/HOME/xserve-frontpanel-master [ 33%] Building C object CMakeFiles/hwmond.dir/cpu_usage.c.o In file included from /home/HOME/xserve-frontpanel-master/cpu_usage.c:1: /home/HOME/xserve-frontpanel-master/cpu_usage.h:3:2: warning: #import is a deprecated GCC extension [-Wdeprecated] #import <stdlib.h> ^~~~~~ /home/HOME/xserve-frontpanel-master/cpu_usage.c:5:10: fatal error: mach/mach_host.h: No such file or directory #include <mach/mach_host.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/hwmond.dir/build.make:76: CMakeFiles/hwmond.dir/cpu_usage.c.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:68: CMakeFiles/hwmond.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Error 2

It is failing because it is looking for Mach Kernel files which is the Kernel used by MacOS. Is there a way to update this to use Kernel files from Linux? I'd love go to see this work, any help would be greatly appreciated.
