| 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). |

| Ramkumar Ramachandra | a504c02 | 2014-05-13 12:41:38 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | "libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace |
| Dominik Brodowski | 7fe2f63 | 2011-03-30 16:30:11 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 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]. |

| 22 | compilation and installation |

| Ramkumar Ramachandra | db262ea | 2014-05-13 12:41:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 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. |
