merged in changes from his <i>RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH</i> CVS branch,
allowing current CVS to compile and run on <a

<p>A Cygwin package (requires Cygwin <b>1.5.7 or greater</b>) is

<p>Yes, finally it does. A windows port of smartctl 5.26 by
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/users/chrfranke/">Christian Franke</a>
was first checked in 2004/02/23 on CVS branch
<a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/smartmontools/sm5/?only_with_tag=RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH">
RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH</a> and has been merged to the CVS trunk later.
<p>Please note that the required changes to make it compile with the
above switch (acting like <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>) or
MSVC haven't yet been merged.</p>
The <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> environment can be
used to built both Cygwin and Native (<a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>,
not depending on Cygwin) versions of smartctl and smartd.
Installation instructions can be found <a href="#CygwinInstall">here</a>
and <a href="#MinGWInstall">here</a>.
<p>Below are parts of an e-mail Christian sent to the smartmontool-devel
mailing-list. I also tested <b>smartd.exe</b> on Cygwin, but only have
access to Windows XP Professional SP1 and a single hard drive.</p>

Win32 port - file organization, features and problems
2004-02-02 19:42
The current state of the code:
+ smartctl.exe has been tested on Win98SE, NT4, 2K, XP, see
"Compatibility"-Matrix below.
- TODO: Solve Problems with READ LOG on W2K
Compatibility:
Disk Devices Windows Version
95 OSR2 98SE ME NT4 2000 XP
Standard ATA 0-3 + ++ + ++(2) ++(1) ++(1)
Other ATA/SATA - - - ? ++? ?
SCSI via ASPI + ++ + ++ + +
SCSI via IOCTL - - - -(3) -(3) -(3)
- Not supported
+ Supported but not tested
++ Supported and tested
? supported (except READ LOG) if custom driver implements SMART IOCTL.
Notes:
(1) CAUTION: The IOCTL call SMART_RCV_DRIVE_DATA does not support
SMART_READ_LOG on NT4/XP/2K. The Win32 smartctl implementation uses the
undocumented and possibly buggy IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH for this purpose.
This IOCTL is not implemented under NT4, problems are reported for W2K.
It seems to work on XP. Using the smartctl.exe options -l or -a may
affect system stability.
(2) READ_LOG is not supported.
(3) TODO: implement IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH (NT4/2K/XP)
Device Name parameters for smartctl.exe:
Win9x/ME:
hd[a-d]: Standard ATA drives
NT4/2K/XP:
hd[a-j]: Device "\\.\PhysicalDisk[0-9]" (ATA only)
Win9x/ME/NT4/2K/XP:
scsi[0-9][0-f]: SCSI disk on ASPI adapter 0-9, ID 0-15.
