5This project provides trace read and write libraries, as well as a trace
6converter. A plugin can be created for any trace format to allow its conversion
7to/from another trace format.

56For developers using the git tree:

58This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
59portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
60compile the git repository tree :
61
76fb4848 62- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
efc652bd 63 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
0f71b863 64- GNU Libtool >=2.2
efc652bd 65 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
5e7e97cb
MD
66- Flex >=2.5.35.
67- Bison >=2.4.

69If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
70script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
71tree configuration.
