db262ea4 | 1 | The cpupower package consists of the following elements: |

3 | requirements | |
4 | ------------ | |
5 | ||
6 | On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci). | |
7 | For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version | |
8 | providing cpuid.h is needed. | |
9 | For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet). | |

13 | ---------- |
14 | ||
a504c028 | 15 | "libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace |
7fe2f639 DB |
16 | tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This |
17 | allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of | |
18 | the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc | |
19 | interfaces [depending on configuration, see below]. | |
20 | ||
21 | ||
22 | compilation and installation | |
23 | ---------------------------- | |

25 | make | |
26 | su | |
27 | make install | |

29 | should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in |
30 | /usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and | |
31 | cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths | |
32 | differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific | |
33 | needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and | |
34 | edit the block marked CONFIGURATION. | |

37 | THANKS | |
38 | ------ | |
39 | Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and | |
a504c028 | 40 | libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower; |
7fe2f639 DB |
41 | to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his |
42 | powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file; | |
43 | and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of | |
a504c028 | 44 | cpupower. |
