To install this program, you should have downloaded the file gHW-0.1.x.tar.gz and copied it to /usr/local/src/

gHW uses autoconf / automake. To compile, simply do a

(please substitute x with the current version) tar -xzvf gHW-0.1.x.tar.gz
cd gHW-0.1.x
sh ./configure
make

You can then start gHW by typing

./src/ghw &

To install gHW on your system, do

make install

(Do this step as root). This will install gHW on your system.

NOTES
As an alpha release the are some important aspects unfinished, for example memory allocation... Some misalignment or strange page format is due to the non-uniform style of the different /proc sections, what's not in my hands. My sins are bigger but others. This little program is based on Linux design of /proc so in principle it is not portable to different platforms. And more, it is linked to the 2.2.X kernels; the 2.4.X have a different layout.

Comments and bug-reports are welcome, really.
