I wonder it anyone has any plans to port it. Even the commercial S.M.A.R.T. suites for Windows aren't that good. I tried all. It'd be a nice addition, really.
Unfortunately I'm not (yet) a programmer, still know very little about Cygwin, but got it to compile removing some code that may be needed but failed (like missing scsi/scsi_ioctl.h). At least --help worked. I don't know if major changes would be needed to at least support IDE drives. Bruce Allen (the author) removed linux/hdreg.h code (in CVS, not 5.0-18) to make it easier porting to other OS. BTW, how do I access /dev/hda under Cygwin or Windows ? Are there any devices for hard drives ? I tried with my floppy drive and a partition just as a test to see if it returned anything, and it did. bash-2.05b$ ./smartctl.exe -a /dev/fd0 smartctl version 5.19 Copyright (C) 2002-3 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Error ATA GET HD Identity Failed: Invalid argument Smartctl: Hard Drive Read Identity Failed A mandatory SMART command has failed: exiting.
