  22 To compile Babeltrace, you will need:
  23
  24         gcc 3.2 or better
  25         glib 2.22 or better development libraries
  26           (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev)
  27           (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel)
  28         libc6 development librairies
  29           (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev)
  30           (Fedora : glibc, glibc)
  31         uuid development libraries
  32           (Debian : uuid-dev)

  38 For developers using the git tree:
  39
  40 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
  41 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
  42 compile the git repository tree :
  43
  44 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
  45   (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
  46 - GNU Libtool
  47   (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
  48 - Flex >=2.5.35.
  49 - Bison >=2.4.
  50
  51 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
  52 script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
  53 tree configuration.
