+
+ - For kernel tracing: modprobe
+
+For developers using the git tree:
+
+This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
+portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
+compile the git repository tree :
+
+- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
+ (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
+- GNU Libtool >=2.2
+ (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
+- GNU Gold >= 2.22
+ (Before this version we hit a known bug documented at:
+ http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11317)
+- flex >= 2.5.35
+- bison >= 2.4
+
+If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
+script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
+tree configuration.
+
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- Download, compile and install the prerequisites.
If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
the configure script, to generate it.
+ If you want Python bindings, run ./configure --enable-python-bindings.
+
USAGE:
Please see doc/quickstart.txt to help you start tracing. You can also use the
-h/--help command on 'lttng' and all other commands offered in this tool (Ex:
lttng enable-event -h).
+A network streaming HOWTO can be found in doc/streaming-howto.txt which quickly
+helps you understand how to stream a LTTng 2.0 trace.
+
+A Python HOWTO can be found in doc/python-howto.txt which quickly
+helps you understand how to use the Python module to control the LTTng API.
