44 Needed for running "make check".
46 For developers using the git tree:
48 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
49 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
50 compile the git repository tree :
52 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
53 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
55 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
57 (Before this version we hit a known bug documented at:
58 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11317)
62 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
63 script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
66 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
68 - Download, compile and install the prerequisites.
75 If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
76 the configure script, to generate it.
78 If you want Python bindings, run ./configure --enable-python-bindings.
82 Please see doc/quickstart.txt to help you start tracing. You can also use the
83 -h/--help command on 'lttng' and all other commands offered in this tool (Ex:
84 lttng enable-event -h).
86 A network streaming HOWTO can be found in doc/streaming-howto.txt which quickly
87 helps you understand how to stream a LTTng 2.0 trace.
89 A Python HOWTO can be found in doc/python-howto.txt which quickly
90 helps you understand how to use the Python module to control the LTTng API.
94 This package contains the following elements:
97 The LTTng tracing control library.
99 - libsessiond-comm (internal)
100 The lttng-sessiond communication library. In order to talk with
101 lttng-sessiond, this library must be used.
103 - libkernel-ctl (internal)
104 Kernel tracer control and ioctl definitions.
106 - libconsumer (internal)
107 Library for Kernel and (optionally) UST trace consumer.
109 - libkernel-consumer (internal)
110 Library for Kernel consumer control
112 - libust-consumer (internal)
113 Library for UST consumer control
115 - libhashtable (internal)
116 Library wrapper over URCU hashtables.
118 - libcommon (internal)
119 Contains multiple useful function call used by the whole tree.
121 - libcompat (internal)
122 Compatibility library mostly for FreeBSD and Linux.
124 - librelayd (internal)
125 Library for all relayd interactions over the network.
128 The relay daemon used for network streaming
131 The consumer daemon which uses libconsumer.
134 The LTTng session daemon binary.
137 The LTTng tracer command line control tool.
139 - include (lttng.h --> installed in $(includedir)/lttng/lttng.h)
140 The liblttngctl API header file.
143 Various test programs.
