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.

+
+To compile Babeltrace, you will need:
+
+ gcc 3.2 or better
+ glib 2.16 or better development libraries
+ (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev)
+ (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel)
+ libc6 development librairies
+ (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev)
+ (Fedora : glibc, glibc)
+ uuid development libraries
+ (Debian : uuid-dev)
+ (Fedora : uuid-devel)
+
+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 >=1.7, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
+ (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
+- GNU Libtool
+ (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
+- Flex and Bison.
+
+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.
