33For developers using the git tree:
34
35This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
36portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
37compile the git repository tree :
38
39- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
40 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
41- GNU Libtool >=2.2
42 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
43- GNU Gold >= 2.22
44 (Before this version we hit a known bug documented at:
45 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11317)
46- flex >= 2.5.35
47- bison >= 2.4
48
49If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
50script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
51tree configuration.
52
53INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
54
55 - Download, compile and install the prerequisites.
56 Then:
57 $ ./configure
58 $ make
59 $ sudo make install
60 $ sudo ldconfig
61
62 If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
63 the configure script, to generate it.
64
65USAGE:
66
67Please see doc/quickstart.txt to help you start tracing. You can also use the
68-h/--help command on 'lttng' and all other commands offered in this tool (Ex:
69lttng enable-event -h).
