This package contains the trace reading library and trace viewing tools for
-the new Linux Trace Toolkit trace format. The associated kernel files to
-generate the new traces are not yet included. In the meantime, a converter
-from the old trace format to the new is provided. For more detailed information
-see doc/developer/index.html
+the new Linux Trace Toolkit trace format. It also contains the lttd, lttctl and
+liblttctl programs which are necessary to obtain a trace.
* Compiling
+gcc 3.2 or higher
+
Some development libraries are needed for compiling :
gtk 2 development libraries (libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev)
glib 2 development libraries (libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev)
libpopt development libraries (libpopt0, libpopt-dev)
libpango development libraries (libpango1.0, libpango1.0-dev)
+libc6 development librairies (libc6, libc6-dev)
To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
-- run ./configure
+- ./configure
- make
- make install
use make, make install.
