| The cpupower package consists of the following elements: | |
| requirements | |
| ------------ | |
| On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci). | |
| For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version | |
| providing cpuid.h is needed. | |
| For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet). | |
| libcpupower | |
| ---------- | |
| "libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace | |
| tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This | |
| allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of | |
| the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc | |
| interfaces [depending on configuration, see below]. | |
| compilation and installation | |
| ---------------------------- | |
| make | |
| su | |
| make install | |
| should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in | |
| /usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and | |
| cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths | |
| differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific | |
| needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and | |
| edit the block marked CONFIGURATION. | |
| THANKS | |
| ------ | |
| Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and | |
| libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower; | |
| to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his | |
| powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file; | |
| and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of | |
| cpupower. | |
