| 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. |
