[lm-sensors] How to get patches and build with them?

[Charles]

Hello :-)

I want to build lm_sensors *3.3.1 *and see from
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Download that four patches are
recommended.  How do I download the patches and incorporate them during
the build?

I appreciate this is a common procedure and there must be some
instructions somewhere; a link to instructions would be helpful.

Best

Charles

Click each link, then scroll to the bottom of the page and choose
"Unified Diff". I then recommend running dos2unix on all patches as for
some strange reason trac produces DOS format text files. Then just
apply the patches in order with patch -p2.

I'll let you appreciate which of these patches you actually want. I'm
the one making the selection but it's often arbitrary and every case is
different.

It's no so common, I think. The list of patches is mainly there for
packagers. End-users are supposed to simply install packages from their
distribution. As a matter of fact, I think you're the first one asking
for help with this since I started maintaining this list 4 years ago.

Many thanks for the prompt reply Jean :)

I went with your recommended patches for starters.  Had to use -p3 (not
in expected directory?).  The build is for Slackware64 13.1, upgraded to
kernel 2.6.38.7 running on an ASUS PBH67-V motherboard which has a
Nuvoton NCT6776F -- as the newly installed lm_sensors 3.3.1
sensors-detect now reports :)

These are the download and patch commands used:

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 38F02FC8

cd /tmp \
  && rm -fr lm_sensors-3.3.1 \
  && wget
http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2 \
  && wget
http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2.sig \
  && gpg --verify lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2.sig \
  && tar -jxvf lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2 \
  && cd lm_sensors-3.3.1 \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5991 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5991?format=diff&newY91' \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5992 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5992?format=diff&newY92' \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5993 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5993?format=diff&newY93' \
  && wget --output-document=patch_5999 \
    'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5999?format=diff&newY99' \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5991 \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5992 \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5993 \
  && patch -p3 < patch_5999

BTW, make PREFIX=/tmp/tmp installed to /usr/local

After installing to /usr/local the following symlink was required to
allow GKrellM to start:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsensors.so.4 /usr/lib64/libsensors.so.4

I was no longer sure if it was -p2 or -p3. The -p3 is probably needed
because of the leading / in the file paths.

This can probably be avoided by passing LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib64 to
make, and adding /usr/local/lib64 to /etc/ld.so.conf if it's not
already there. Alternatively, just adding /usr/local/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf should work too.

Thanks for the advice, Jean :)

The advantage of the symlink technique is that it replaces the
lm_sensors libsensors.so.4 as installed by Slackware so, if the 3.3.1
installation is every replaced by a Slackware package, the available
libsensors.so.4 will automatically be changed.

BTW I forgot to mention that the dos2unix step was unnecessary because
patch strips the DOS-isms.
