| 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. |

27 | * Quick Start |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Create a trace |
| 30 | - Convert it |
| 31 | - Run ./lttv -m guievents -m guicontrolflow -m guievents -t path_to_trace |
| 32 | |

51 | * The rest of the tools |
| 52 | |
| 53 | You must use the lastest versions of patches for the Linux Kernel. That includes |
| 54 | relayfs and ltt patches, available on the ltt-dev mailing list at |
| 55 | http://www.listserv.shafik.org/pipermail/ltt-dev/. You will find there the |
| 56 | lastest version of the trace daemon that must be used to create the traces. (in |
| 57 | the TraceToolkit package) |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Once your traces are created, you must use the convert tool to create a trace in |
| 60 | the proper format from them. |

63 | * For Developers |
| 64 | |
| 65 | This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify |
| 66 | portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to |
| 67 | compile the subversion repository tree : |
| 68 | |
| 69 | |
| 70 | GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50) |
| 71 | (make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!) |
| 72 | GNU Libtool |
| 73 | (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) |
| 74 | |
| 75 | If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh |
| 76 | script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration. |
