[lm-sensors] dme1737 module

[Werner Goebl]

Dear Juerg,

I am running Gutsy on an Optiplex 745 (Kernel 2.6.22-14, 
Intel Q965 chipset) and in order to quiet my always spinning 
fan, I wanted to add the dme1737 module to my old kernel.
So, I did what you suggested (copy dmel1713.c + create 
Makefile).

When I type "make" it says:
"make: Nothing to be done for `all'."

BTW: You mention to have "the kernel headers intalled to be 
able to compile". Are you referring to "Kconfig" and 
"Makefile" in 
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14/drivers/hwmon? (which I 
updated according to
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9431996f55f8a3c04cdcb63895cf7661e135fadb

Thanks for your patience!!

Werner

Hi Juergen,

I'm copying the list so others can profit.

Copy the file dme1737.c from the 2.6.23 kernel to a temp 
directory and
create a Makefile in the same directory that contains the 
following
lines:

obj-m := dme1737.o
all:
         make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$(PWD) modules

Then run 'make' which will compile the module. You also need 
to have
the kernel headers installed to be able to compile.
Additionally, you will also need the latest 'lm-sensors' package
(2.10.4 ) or the dme1737 will not be recognized.

Let me know if you need additional help.
