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