31 For developers using the git tree:
32
33 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
34 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
35 compile the git repository tree :
36
37 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
38 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
39 - GNU Libtool >=2.2
40 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
41 - GNU Gold >= 2.22
42 (Before this version we hit a known bug documented at:
43 http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11317)
44
45 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
46 script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
47 tree configuration.
48
49 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
50
51 - Download, compile and install the prerequisites.
52 Then:
53 $ ./configure
54 $ make
55 $ sudo make install
56 $ sudo ldconfig
57
58 If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
59 the configure script, to generate it.
60
61 USAGE:

64 -h/--help command on 'lttng' and all other commands offered in this tool (Ex:
65 lttng enable-event -h).
