Intel's Power Gadget can read the CPU frequency (so we can read it, too!). Can be installed using The cask installs the PowerGadget.app, the Framework and the Driver. |

Right now this API seems to only work for CORE0 |

Using the Intel® Power Gadget API (https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/12/13/using-the-intel-power-gadget-api-on-mac-os-x) we can now get actual Core frequency and not the constant factory one. Though, for some weird reason the API gives the same freq for all Cores, thus the |cpu| arg becomes useless.
|
This is probably as far as it can go for now; thus close issue. |

* Try to amend #31 * BUILD_WLAN should be available for all OS. Keep BUILD_WLAN OFF by default for compatibility reasons. * WLAN-related variables should be available for every OS. There are some problems (probably null-dereference) * Fix $wireless_essid crashing conky if no argument provided. Conky wasn't parsing the argument of the variable as it should, thus wasn't allocating the `dev` member variable. Also fix some documentation stuff. * Improve `get_freq` #20 Using the Intel® Power Gadget API (https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/12/13/using-the-intel-power-gadget-api-on-mac-os-x) we can now get actual Core frequency and not the constant factory one. Though, for some weird reason the API gives the same freq for all Cores, thus the |cpu| arg becomes useless. * Oops, this accidently slipped in * Introduce BUILD_IPGFREQ build option This build option has been introduced for one particular reason: On macOS getting current core-frequency is not supported by the APIs. A solution is to install Intel's ® Power Gadget which comes with an .app, a Framework and a kernel-extension. Though, this may trouble some alot, thus introduce BUILD_IPGFREQ. * Forgot static here. * Some improvements for get_freq again. Fix frequency not printing correctly (I wasn't using the divisor) Add more guards. * Setup cmake files and project code for Objective-C code #17 We want to use CoreWLAN framework. * update_cpu_usage() now supports multiple cores Also, some cleanup. * Updated default conky config to monitor Mac Networking * Made Mac Friendly BuildOptions and generic default conky configs * Undid Xdamage config and cleaned up previous IF statements * Re-Added XDamage fix * Finish up the algorithm. I think its now correct. Closes: #33 * Cleanup macro and introduce a no-op free_cpu() function for ALL cpu-related variables free_cpu() must be implemented for every OS and on all except macOS its a no-op function. * Reformat, add empty comment.

Find a way to actually calculate each core's frequency.
Currently
get_freq()gets the factory frequency usingsysctl.Probably this will require creating a kernel extension for conky.
