| 2 | This package contains the trace reading library and trace viewing tools for |
| 3 | the new Linux Trace Toolkit trace format. The associated kernel files to |
| 4 | generate the new traces are not yet included. In the meantime, a converter |
| 5 | from the old trace format to the new is provided. For more detailed information |
| 6 | see doc/developer/index.html |

| 857ed977 |
10 | Some development libraries are needed for compiling : |
| 11 | |
| 3e177b6e |
12 | gtk 2 development libraries (libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev) |
| 13 | glib 2 development libraries (libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev) |
| 14 | libpopt development libraries (libpopt0, libpopt-dev) |
| 15 | libpango development libraries (libpango1.0, libpango1.0-dev) |
| 857ed977 |
16 | |
| 17 | To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps : |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - run ./configure |
| f4b0c7bb |
20 | - make |
| 21 | - make install |
| 22 | |
| 857ed977 |
23 | After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and |
| f4b0c7bb |
24 | use make, make install. |

| 38 | lttd: Linux Trace Toolkit daemon (currently empty). |
| 39 | lttv: Linux Trace Toolkit trace analysis tool and viewer. |

43 | * The rest of the tools |
| 44 | |
| 45 | You must use the lastest versions of patches for the Linux Kernel. That includes |
| 46 | relayfs and ltt patches, available on the ltt-dev mailing list at |
| 47 | http://www.listserv.shafik.org/pipermail/ltt-dev/. You will find there the |
| 48 | lastest version of the trace daemon that must be used to create the traces. (in |
| 49 | the TraceToolkit package) |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Once your traces are created, you must use the convert tool to create a trace in |
| 52 | the proper format from them. |

| 54 | * For Developers |
| 55 | |
| 56 | This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify |
| 57 | portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to |
| 58 | compile the subversion repository tree : |
| 59 | |
| 60 | |
| 61 | GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50) |
| 62 | (make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!) |
| 63 | GNU Libtool |
| 64 | (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) |
| 65 | |
| 66 | If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh |
| 67 | script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration. |
