run modprobe nct6687 to load the module and then run sensors to get the outputs.

Anyone interested in adopting this orphan? I guess I'll step up if no one else does, but kernel modules aren't really my strong suit.

To get this package working apply this patch

@quark23, this error message comes from git. Removing temporary dir (/var/tmp/pamac-build-$USERNAME/nct6687d-dkms-git/) beforehand might help.

if I modify ::git: to ::git+https: then I get fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
with the stock config it hangs at Cloning into bare repository

Manjaro users can also make it installable by making the following changes:

• in PKGBUILD replace source=... and sha256sums=... with

source=("${pkgname}::git+https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d" "dkms.conf.in")
sha256sums=('SKIP' 'SKIP')

• in dkms.conf.in comment out the line as shallpion said:

# MAKE[0]="make TARGET=${kernelver} KERNEL_BUILD=${kernel_source_dir}"

2022-06-24: This method still works for me with kernel 5.18.5-1-MANJARO (rebuilt the package using the same steps).
2023-02-19: Another rebuild w/ kernel 6.1.11-1-MANJARO, no issues.

For me I had to comment out this line

MAKE[0]="make TARGET=${kernelver} KERNEL_BUILD=${kernel_source_dir}"

to make it install-able. Otherwise I would receive:

thanks, it's very useful prog.

@DoXer It works fine on my computer. Could you provide me with the content of main.log?
