31 - For kernel tracing: modprobe
33 For developers using the git tree:
35 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
36 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
37 compile the git repository tree :
39 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
40 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
42 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
44 (Before this version we hit a known bug documented at:
45 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11317)
49 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
50 script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
53 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
55 - Download, compile and install the prerequisites.
62 If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
63 the configure script, to generate it.
67 Please see doc/quickstart.txt to help you start tracing. You can also use the
68 -h/--help command on 'lttng' and all other commands offered in this tool (Ex:
69 lttng enable-event -h).
71 A network streaming HOWTO can be found in doc/streaming-howto.txt which quickly
72 helps you understand how to stream a LTTng 2.0 trace.
76 This package contains the following elements:
79 The LTTng tracing control library.
81 - libsessiond-comm (internal)
82 The lttng-sessiond communication library. In order to talk with
83 lttng-sessiond, this library must be used.

88 - libconsumer (internal)
89 Library for Kernel and (optionally) UST trace consumer.
91 - libkernel-consumer (internal)
92 Library for Kernel consumer control
94 - libust-consumer (internal)
95 Library for UST consumer control
97 - libhashtable (internal)
98 Library wrapper over URCU hashtables.
100 - libcommon (internal)
101 Contains multiple useful function call used by the whole tree.
103 - libcompat (internal)
104 Compatibility library mostly for FreeBSD and Linux.
106 - librelayd (internal)
107 Library for all relayd interactions over the network.
110 The relay daemon used for network streaming
113 The consumer daemon which uses libconsumer.
116 The LTTng session daemon binary.
119 The LTTng tracer command line control tool.
121 - include (lttng.h --> installed in $(includedir)/lttng/lttng.h)
122 The liblttngctl API header file.
125 Various test programs.
128 Various documentations and quickstart guide.
