   7 This package contains the lttd, lttctl and liblttctl programs which are
   8 necessary to obtain a trace. It also contains the facilities directory, where
   9 sits the trace metainformation.

  16   (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel)
  17 libc6 development librairies
  18   (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev)
  19   (Fedora : glibc, glibc)

  22 To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
  23
  24 - ./configure
  25 - make
  26 - make install
  27
  28 After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and
  29 use make, make install.

  48 * For Developers
  49
  50 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
  51 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
  52 compile the subversion repository tree :
  53
  54 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.7, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
  55   (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
  56 - GNU Libtool
  57   (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
  58
  59 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh
  60 script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
