| 2 | This package contains the trace reading library and trace viewing tools for |
| 3 | the new Linux Trace Toolkit trace format. It also contains the lttd, lttctl and |
| 4 | liblttctl programs which are necessary to obtain a trace. |

| 6 | * Compiling |
| 7 | |
| 8 | gcc 3.2 or higher |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Some development libraries are needed for compiling : |
| 11 | |
| 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) |
| 16 | libc6 development librairies (libc6, libc6-dev) |
| 17 | |
| 18 | To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps : |
| 19 | |
| 20 | - ./configure |
| 21 | - make |
| 22 | - make install |
| 23 | |
| 24 | After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and |
| 25 | use make, make install. |

| 50 | * For Developers |
| 51 | |
| 52 | This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify |
| 53 | portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to |
| 54 | compile the subversion repository tree : |
| 55 | |
| 56 | |
| 57 | GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50) |
| 58 | (make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!) |
| 59 | GNU Libtool |
| 60 | (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) |
| 61 | |
| 62 | If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh |
| 63 | script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration. |
