Subject: [PATCH v7 04/32] kernel-shark: Update README
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 16:44:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201211144511.575346-5-y.karadz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201211144511.575346-1-y.karadz@gmail.com>

KernelShark is now separated from libtraceevent, libtracefs and
trace-cmd. The README file has to be updated to reflect this.

+KernelShark is a front-end reader of tracing data.

-Building:
-------------------------------------------------------------
-1. Follow the instructions given in trace-cmd/README and build
-the original trace-cmd end traceevent libraries.

-2. Building KernelShark:
-
-2.1 There is a simple and expert way to build KernelShark
+3. In order to install the final dependencies do the following:
+    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git/
+    cd libtraceevent
+    make
+    sudo make install
 
-2.1.1 Option 1 (simple) : build KernelShark as part of trace-cmd
+    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/
+    cd libtracefs
+    make
+    sudo make install
 
-   (from the toplevel git tree)
+    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/trace-cmd/trace-cmd.git/
+    cd trace-cmd
+    make
+    sudo make install_libs
 
-      make gui
+Building:
+------------------------------------------------------------
+2. Building KernelShark:
 
-   This will build the necessary parts of trace-cmd needed
-   by KernelShark.
+    cd kernel-shark/build
+    cmake ../
+    make
+    sudo make install
 
-2.1.1.1 By default, the installation prefix is "/usr/local". It can be
-changed by passing in "prefix" to the build.
+2.1 In order to create a Doxygen documentation add -D_DOXYGEN_DOC=1
+as a CMake Command-Line option.
 
-   make prefix=/usr gui
+2.2 KernelShark has multiple build types. By default, the build type is
+RelWithDebInfo, which will build a release candidate with debug information.
+To change the type, pass in the option CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<type>.
 
-2.1.1.2 Use "make clean" if you want to delete all already compiled objects.
-This will also clean up all the files created by cmake.
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug           - for "-g" option
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release         - for "-O3" option
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo  - for "-g -O2" option (default)
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel      - for "-Os" option
 
-2.1.1.3 KernelShark has multiple build types (See section 2.1.2.3 for more
-details. By default, the build type is RelWithDebInfo, which will build
-a release candidate with debug information. To change the type, pass in
-the option BUILD_TYPE=<type> to the make process.
+2.3 In addition to the standard CMake build types (Debug, Release,
+RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel) KernelShark supports a "Package" build type.
+By default this build type adds the "-O3" compiler flag. Package maintainers
+can chose their own compiler flags by providing the corresponding
+CMAKE_XXXX_FLAGS_PACKAGE Command-Line options (see the example below).
 
-    make BUILD_TYPE=Debug gui          - for "-g" option
-    make BUILD_TYPE=Release gui        - for "-O3" option
-    make BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo gui - for "-g -O2" option (default)
-    make BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel gui     - for "-Os" option
+-- Note that when built as a "Package" the RPATH-s of the executables are
+set directly to _INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/kernelshark/
 
-2.1.2 Option 2 (expert) : standalone build of KernelShark (for hackers only)
+2.4 After building the code "kernel-shark/lib" will contain all libraries
+and "kernel-shark/bin" will contain all executables.
 
-   (note, you may need to do a normal make from the toplevel git
-    tree before performing the following)
+2.5 Use the script "cmake_clean.sh" if you want to delete all already
+compiled objects and all files generated by CMake.
 
-      make
-      cd kernel-shark/build
-      cmake ../
-      make
+    cd kernel-shark/build
+    ./cmake-clean.sh
 
-    This gives you a bit more control as you may easily pass in
-    your own cmake options.
+2.6 By default, installation prefix is "/usr/local". It can be changed using
+-D_INSTALL_PREFIX= as a CMake Command-Line option.
 
-2.1.2.1 In order to create a Doxygen documentation add -D_DOXYGEN_DOC=1
-as a CMake Command-Line option.
+2.7 In order to uninstall KernelShark do:
+    cd kernel-shark/build
+    ./cmake_uninstall.sh
 
-2.1.2.2 By default, installation prefix is "/usr/local". It can be changed using
--D_INSTALL_PREFIX= as a CMake Command-Line option.
 
-2.1.2.3 In addition to the standard CMake build types (Debug, Release,
-RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel) KernelShark supports a "Package" build type.
-By default this build type adds the "-O2" compiler flag. Package maintainers
-can chose their own compiler flags by providing the corresponding
-CMAKE_XXXX_FLAGS_PACKAGE Command-Line options (see the example below).
+CMake examples:
 
--- Note that when built as a "Package" the RPATH-s of the executables are
-set directly to _INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/kernelshark/
+    cmake -D_DOXYGEN_DOC=1 -D_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../
 
--- Note that when built as a "Debug" the "Record" dialog will try to use the
-version of the trace-cmd executable from the build location. In all other cases
-the dialog will derive the absolut path to the trace-cmd executable from
-"_INSTALL_PREFIX", hence the dialog will use the installed version.
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Package -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_PACKAGE="-O3 -pedantic"  ../
 
-If no build types is specified, the type will be "RelWithDebInfo".
