I just pulled lm_sensors-daily.tar.gz, unpacked and ran make, got this error: [jimc at harpo lm_sensors2]$ make user ... gcc -M -MG -I. -Ikernel/include -I/usr/local/include -DSYSFS_SUPPORT -fpic -Wall -O2 lib/error.c | \ sed -e 's@^\(.*\)\.o:@lib/error.ld lib/error.lo: Makefile '`dirname lib/error.ld`/Module.mk' @' > lib/error.ld gcc -M -MG -I. -Ikernel/include -I/usr/local/include -DSYSFS_SUPPORT -fpic -Wall -O2 lib/general.c | \ sed -e 's@^\(.*\)\.o:@lib/general.ld lib/general.lo: Makefile '`dirname lib/general.ld`/Module.mk' @' > lib/general.ld gcc -M -MG -I. -Ikernel/include -I/usr/local/include -DSYSFS_SUPPORT -fpic -Wall -O2 lib/data.c | \ sed -e 's@^\(.*\)\.o:@lib/data.ld lib/data.lo: Makefile '`dirname lib/data.ld`/Module.mk' @' > lib/data.ld ( grep 'SENSORS SYSCTL START' /dev/null kernel/chips/*.c | \ sed -e 's/:.*//' -e 's#^#kernel/include/sensors.h: #' ) > kernel/include/sensors.hd cat kernel/include/sensors.h.template > kernel/include/sensors.h awk '/SENSORS SYSCTL START/,/SENSORS SYSCTL END/' kernel/chips/*.c >> kernel/include/sensors.h echo '#endif' >> kernel/include/sensors.h gcc -M -MG -DETCDIR="\"/etc\"" -I. -Ikernel/include -I/usr/local/include -Wundef -Wall -O2 prog/sensors/chips.c | \ sed -e 's@^\(.*\)\.o:@prog/sensors/chips.rd prog/sensors/chips.ro: Makefile '`dirname prog/sensors/chips.rd`/Module.mk' @' > prog/sensors/chips.rd make: *** No rule to make target `sysfs/libsysfs.h', needed by `lib/sysfs.ad'. Stop. A very similar thing happened when I pulled from SVN. I pulled the entire tree, was unhappy with the great gobs of stuff I didnt need, and pruned everything but the lmsensors2 stuff. When I got the error (like above) I figured I over-trimmed, but seeing above, maybe that wasnt the trouble.
