Asus Z87 PRO - fan speed detector - failed to 'make' nct6775 drivers

Question

I want to monitor the fans in my HTPC due to a recent and inexplicable temperature increase of 5+ degrees C. Package 'lm-sensors' does not detect fan sensors. After some investigation I found there are drivers available for Nuvoton chip in my mobo Z87 PRO:

https://github.com/groeck/nct6775

When making/compiling I get the following error:

~/Z87 Drivers/nct6775-master$ sudo make
**arch/x86/Makefile:136: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
Makefile:652: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR: -fstack-        protector not supported by compiler
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'Drivers/nct6775-master'.  Stop.
Makefile:30: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2**
~/Z87 Drivers/nct6775-master$

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot.

Does this apply to you? This could be a double.... see here. — s1mmel, Apr 08 '15 at 14:23

I suggest the following sequence:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
cd ~/Z87\ Drivers/nct6775-master
make clean
make
sudo make install
