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.
