The development continues in the [@hardinfo2/hardinfo2](https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2) repository.  This branch will soon become a mirror of the ``main`` branch from the ``hardinfo2`` repository.

HARDINFO

========

HardInfo is a system profiler and benchmark for Linux systems. It is able to

obtain information from both hardware and basic software, and organize it

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

Status

------

Capabilities: HardInfo currently detects most software and hardware detected by the OS.

Features: The remote sync was disabled due to server loss.

Development: Currently done by contributors, a new dedicated maintainer is needed.

Server code can be found in the "server" branch: https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo/tree/server

DEPENDENCIES

------------

Required:

- GTK+ 2.10 (or newer)

- GLib 2.10 (or newer)

- Zlib (for zlib benchmark)

Optional (for synchronization/remote):

- Libsoup 2.24 (or newer)

BUILDING

--------

Create a build directory and build from there:

``` bash

	hardinfo $ mkdir build

	hardinfo $ cd build

	build $ cmake ..

	build $ make

```

There are some variables that can be changed:

 * `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`: Can either be ``Release`` or ``Debug``.

   * `[Default: Release]` ``Debug`` prints messages to console and is not recommended for general use.

 * `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`: Sets the installation prefix.

   * `[Default: /usr/local]`: Distributions usually change this to `/usr`.

 * `HARDINFO_NOSYNC`: Disables network synchronization.

   * `[Default: 1]`: Disabled by default due to the server being lost.

To set a variable, use cmake's -D parameter. For example:

`	build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug `

Network sync is enabled if libsoup is detected. If having trouble building with libsoup, disable it with:

`	build $ cmake -DHARDINFO_NOSYNC=1`

SETTING UP

----------

Most hardware is detected automatically by HardInfo, however, some hardware 

needs manual set up. They are:

### Sensors

**lm-sensors**: If your computer is compatible with lm-sensors module, use by example the

`sensors-detect` program included with the lm-sensors package of Debian based distros, 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.

### Memory Speed

The module `eeprom` must be loaded to display info about your currently installed memory.

Load with `modprobe eeprom` and refresh the module screen.
