IT IS NOT FOR GENERAL USE. - -Building systemtap requires a recent development version of elfutils, -which provides libraries for making use of debugging information. - -This is unfinished work in active development. This code is not intended -for general consumption in its present form. Development of these -libraries is simultaneous with Systemtap development. The Systemtap code -will require new versions as things evolve; the systemtap.spec.in file in -the systemtap source tree should always indicate the minimum version of -elfutils libraries that will suffice. We will make an effort to make a -compatible version available here, that you can use for compiling Systemtap. - -Current elfutils can always be found in Fedora Core Development, AKA Rawhide. -If you are interested in the elfutils code in general or for any purpose -other than developing Systemtap, please see http://fedora.redhat.com/ about -getting involved with Fedora Core Development directly. - -To use the elfutils libraries to build Systemtap, you can either use -installed libraries, or you can build elfutils from source as part of the -systemtap build. To use installed libraries, you'll need to have the -current elfutils version installed on your system where the compiler will -find it with whatever build flags you pass systemtap's configure script. -Unless your system already has the current elfutils installed -(i.e. Rawhide), you'll have to install a nonstandard build either via RPM -or by hand with "make" as detailed below. To build the elfutils source -locally as part of the systemtap build, see systemtap's README about the ---with-elfutils=... option to systemtap's configure. - -You can find the rawhide rpms updated daily on a variety of sites -(see http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html) under core/development. -What's distributed in this directory is made trivially from those same sources. - -The vanilla elfutils code, in elfutils-VERSION.tar.gz and what the rawhide -RPMs ordinarily build, can only be built using GCC 4 and a recent glibc. -Fedora Core 4 is the only released system meeting the requirements. - -To rebuild the rawhide src.rpm on an older system, you can use: - - rpmbuild --with compat --rebuild elfutils-VERSION-N.src.rpm - -The SRPMS/elfutils-VERSION-0.N.src.rpm provided here is exactly the same as -the elfutils-VERSION-N.src.rpm from Rawhide except that it doesn't require -that you specify --with compat to build on an older system. - -We have done this for you for a few architectures, and those RPMs are -available here. These were built on RHEL3, and so their requirements -should not be too demanding. We must remind you that this is unsupported, -pre-beta development code. Furthermore, these builds are completely -unofficial, unsupported, unsigned, unlikely to have been tested, -unequivocally not guaranteed not to ruin your whole day, and we really -cannot recommend that anyone install them on their system. Do so at your -own risk. All that said, here they is, and if you copy this file: - - ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/elfutils/systemtap-elfutils.repo - -into your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, then you can get them all with just: - - yum install elfutils-devel - - -To compile elfutils from source by hand, simply use elfutils-VERSION.tar.gz -and follow the usual procedure for GNU configure conventions. The patch -available here has to be applied before you can compile on an older system: - - tar xzf elfutils-VERSION.tar.gz - patch -p1 -d elfutils-VERSION < elfutils-portability.patch - cd elfutils-VERSION - ./configure --program-prefix=eu-devel- - make && make check && make install - -(That of course installs things under /usr/local, unlike the RPMs.) - - -Caveat emptor.
