Hello everyone,
I have been trying to instrument the Apache web server, the latest version
(2.4.7 from the URL http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache24) for
LTTng UST tracing
1. To start with the simplest case, I created a *.tp file named
*smallestTracePoint.tp* with the content below
    TRACEPOINT_EVENT(
    mk,
    apache_process_entry,
    TP_ARGS(),
    TP_FIELDS()
  )
2. Then I ran the following
   lttng-gen-tp smallestTracePoint.tp -o smallestTracePoint.h -o
smallestTracePoint.c

which generated the files smallestTracePoint.c and smallestTracePoint.h

3. Then, I put the *smallestTracePoint.h* and *smallestTracePoint.c* in
*httpd-2.4.7/server* directory,
included  *smallestTracePoint.h *in the *main.c  *file and added trace
points in the int *main(int argc, const char * const argv[])* and
**init_process(int
*argc, const char * const * *argv)* functions.

4. Then I added *-finstrument-functions* in the *configure* file (Line
number 2830) in the extracted *httpd-2.4.7* directory, full line below
  ac_compile='$CC -c $CFLAGS -finstrument-functions $CPPFLAGS
conftest.$ac_ext >&5'

5. Then, from the /httpd-2.4.7 directory, I ran the following command to
configure the installation, it completed without any error.
    ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib/usr/lib/liblttng-ust.so
--with-included-apr

6. When I ran the command 'make', I get the following error after a while
...

I have tried including the *smallestTracePoint.c* file in the local
makefile (*/root/httpd-2.4.7/MakeFile)*... didn't do me any good.
Any idea what I am doing wrong ?


LTTng version on the instance: 2.4.0-rc2 - Époque Opaque
