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. + + + Dominik Brodowski -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
