3the new Linux Trace Toolkit trace format. The associated kernel files to
4generate the new traces are not yet included. In the meantime, a converter
5from the old trace format to the new is provided. For more detailed information

17To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
18
19- run ./configure
f4b0c7bb 20- make
21- make install
22
857ed977 23After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and
f4b0c7bb 24use make, make install.

46This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
47portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
48compile the subversion repository tree :
49
50
51GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50)
52(make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!)
53GNU Libtool
54(for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
55
56If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh
57script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
