27For developers using the git tree:
28
29This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
30portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
31compile the git repository tree :
32
33- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
34 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
35- GNU Libtool >=2.2
36 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
37
38If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
39script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
40tree configuration.
41
42INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
43
44 - Download, compile and install the prerequisites.
45 Then:
46 $ ./configure
47 $ make
48 $ sudo make install
49 $ sudo ldconfig
50
51 If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
52 the configure script, to generate it.
53
54USAGE:

57-h/--help command on 'lttng' and all other commands offered in this tool (Ex:
