well, so much for this being easy 😞

I don't really understand the error here either, do you have any insight @shirou?

oh hey that did the trick. I am a touch concerned that this would somehow still not work though 🤔 but my C seems to think that this should work

I believe this breaks compatibility with non-darwin targets

Ah... yes, of course it's not that simple 🤔

You have to rename smc.c to smc_darwin.c and smc.h to smc_darwin.h and change the references in the source and it's then possible to go build github.com/shirou/gopsutil/hoston Linux successfully. This is what I've done in #832 (comment). Though I prefer your names (smc_darwin.{c,h} compared to my less descriptive host_darwin.{c,h}).

Though there were the same compilation warnings with these changes, I fixed them in my own branch (I'm quite sure I wouldn't be able to push to your branch) and took the occasion to rename darwin c files in the disk package.

As you spent some time on it and want some attribution maybe, I can let you fix that in your branch and merge this PR afterwards, I will rebase my PR after merging yours if you do so.

Ah the magic of go! Thanks @Lomanic

I'm not super concerned about the attribution, more about the fix 😁 I updated the file names, and I don't really know what I'm doing with go 😅

@Lomanic by all means please merge #889 instead of this, as it looks like you've captured more files that need to be moved/renamed 👍

OK, no problem.
