| 5 | This project provides trace read and write libraries, as well as a trace |
| 6 | converter. A plugin can be created for any trace format to allow its conversion |
| 7 | to/from another trace format. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The main format expected to be converted to/from is the Common Trace |
| 10 | Format (CTF). The latest version of the CTF specification can be found at: |

| 29 | DEPENDENCIES |
| 30 | ------------ |
| 31 | |
| 32 | To compile Babeltrace, you will need: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | gcc 3.2 or better |
| 35 | glib 2.22 or better development libraries |
| 36 | (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev) |
| 37 | (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel) |
| 38 | libc6 development librairies |
| 39 | (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev) |
| 40 | (Fedora : glibc, glibc) |
| 41 | uuid development libraries |
| 42 | (Debian : uuid-dev) |
| 43 | (Fedora : uuid-devel) |
| 44 | libpopt development libraries |
| 45 | (Debian : libpopt0, libpopt-dev) |
| 46 | (Fedora : popt) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | For developers using the git tree: |
| 49 | |
| 50 | This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify |
| 51 | portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to |
| 52 | compile the git repository tree : |
| 53 | |
| 54 | - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50) |
| 55 | (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!) |
| 56 | - GNU Libtool |
| 57 | (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/) |
| 58 | - Flex >=2.5.35. |
| 59 | - Bison >=2.4. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap" |
| 62 | script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the |
| 63 | tree configuration. |
