1The cpufrequtils package (homepage: 2http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufrequtils.html ) 3consists of the following elements: 4 5requirements 6------------ 7 8On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci). 9For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version 10providing cpuid.h is needed. 11For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet). 12 13 14libcpufreq 15---------- 16 17"libcpufreq" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace 18tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This 19allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of 20the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc 21interfaces [depending on configuration, see below]. 22 23 24compilation and installation 25---------------------------- 26 27make 28su 29make install 30 31should suffice on most systems. It builds default libcpufreq, 32cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info files and installs them in /usr/lib and 33/usr/bin, respectively. If you want to set up the paths differently and/or 34want to configure the package to your specific needs, you need to open 35"Makefile" with an editor of your choice and edit the block marked 36CONFIGURATION. 37 38 39THANKS 40------ 41Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and 42libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpufrequtils; 43to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his 44powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file; 45and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of 46cpufrequtils. 47 48 49 Dominik Brodowski 50
