| The cpufrequtils package (homepage: | |
| http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufrequtils.html ) | |
| 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). | |
| libcpufreq | |
| ---------- | |
| "libcpufreq" 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 default libcpufreq, | |
| cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info files and installs them in /usr/lib and | |
| /usr/bin, respectively. 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 cpufrequtils; | |
| 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 | |
| cpufrequtils. | |
