During the last meeting there was discussion of posting some arch agnostic
documentation regarding the various dependencies of SystemTap. The
following
is a sample list of configurations & utilities that SystemTap relies on.
To build SystemTap from source, your system requires:
Environment
- Linux kernel v2.6.9+ with configs:
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
Development Tools
- gawk
- GNU make
- gcc (-g debug enabled)
- g++ (-g debug enabled)
Standard Unix Binaries
- (ln, egrep, mkdir, cd, rm, etc.)
Extended Package Dependencies
- elfutils-libelf-devel v0.115+
- elfutils-libs v0.115+
- elfutils-libelf v0.115+
- elfutils-devel v0.115+
- elfutils v0.115+
* Some of the extended packages required for SystemTap
rely on (often many) other packages. It is recommended
you install such utilities using an automatic package
resolution tool (yum, yast, apt, etc.)
Before linking this off of the main website I would appreciate some
feedback. Is
there anything you can think of missing from the list?
Tx.

Quick addition:
for some kernels (I think 2.6.9 to 2.6.11) you have to do the following
hack as well:
=================================
--- linux-2.6.11.prev/kernel/kallsyms.c 2005-09-28 18:18:22.000000000
+0200
+++ linux-2.6.11/kernel/kallsyms.c 2005-10-17 13:29:34.000000000 +0200
@@ -145,6 +145,7 @@
}
return module_kallsyms_lookup_name(name);
}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(kallsyms_lookup_name);
/* Lookup an address. modname is set to NULL if it's in the kernel. */
const char *kallsyms_lookup(unsigned long addr,
==================================
Best regards,
Seb.

The systemtap runtime should not require this this any more.
