BabelTrace - Trace Format Babel Tower Mathieu Desnoyers, EfficiOS Inc. September 2010 This project provides trace read and write libraries, as well as a trace converter. A plugin can be created for any trace format to allow its conversion to/from another trace format. The main format expected to be converted to/from is the Common Trace Format (CTF). The latest version of the CTF specification can be found at: git tree: git://git.efficios.com/ctf.git gitweb: http://git.efficios.com/?p=ctf.git The CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation, Ericsson, and EfficiOS have sponsored this work. BUILDING -------- ./bootstrap (skip if using tarball) ./configure make make install ldconfig DEPENDENCIES ------------ To compile Babeltrace, you will need: gcc 3.2 or better libc6 development librairies (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev) (Fedora : glibc, glibc) glib 2.22 or better development libraries (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev) (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel) uuid development libraries (Debian : uuid-dev) (Fedora : uuid-devel) libpopt >= 1.13 development libraries (Debian : libpopt-dev) (Fedora : popt) For developers using the git tree: This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to compile the git repository tree : - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50) (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!) - GNU Libtool >=2.2 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) - Flex >=2.5.35. - Bison >=2.4. If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap" script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
