| | 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 |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | * Compiling |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | gcc 3.2 or higher |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | Some development libraries are needed for compiling : |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | gtk 2 development libraries (libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev) |
| | 15 | glib 2 development libraries (libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev) |
| | 16 | libpopt development libraries (libpopt0, libpopt-dev) |
| | 17 | libpango development libraries (libpango1.0, libpango1.0-dev) |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps : |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | - run ./configure |
| | 22 | - make |
| | 23 | - make install |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and |
| | 26 | use make, make install. |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | * Quick Start |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | - Create a trace |
| | 32 | - Convert it |
| | 33 | - Run ./lttv -m guievents -m guicontrolflow -m guievents -t path_to_trace |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | * Source Tree Structure |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | This is a sample of the suggested tree for Linux Trace Toolkit. |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | ltt: new trace format reading library (and converter). |
| | 41 | README: This file. |
| | 42 | debian: debian config files (currently empty). |
| | 43 | doc: Documentation. |
| | 44 | doc/user: User related documentation. |
| | 45 | doc/developer: Developer related documentation. |
| | 46 | kernel: Linux Trace Toolkit kernel code (currently empty). |
| | 47 | lttd: Linux Trace Toolkit daemon (currently empty). |
| | 48 | lttv: Linux Trace Toolkit trace analysis tool and viewer. |
| | 49 | lttv/modules: Linux Trace Toolkit analysis tool and viewer plugin modules. |
| | 50 | specs: RPM config files (currently empty). |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | * The rest of the tools |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | You must use the lastest versions of patches for the Linux Kernel. That includes |
| | 56 | relayfs and ltt patches, available on the ltt-dev mailing list at |
| | 57 | http://www.listserv.shafik.org/pipermail/ltt-dev/. You will find there the |
| | 58 | lastest version of the trace daemon that must be used to create the traces. (in |
| | 59 | the TraceToolkit package) |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | Once your traces are created, you must use the convert tool to create a trace in |
| | 62 | the proper format from them. |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | * For Developers |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify |
| | 68 | portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to |
| | 69 | compile the subversion repository tree : |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | |
| | 72 | GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50) |
| | 73 | (make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!) |
| | 74 | GNU Libtool |
| | 75 | (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh |
| | 78 | script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration. |
