Building and installing

linux-perf uses the cabal infrastructure for configuring, building and installation. It needs access to the header files from the Linux kernel source distribution (one that is sufficiently recent to support the performance counters tool).

To build and install:

cabal install --extra-include-dirs=/path/to/linux/headers/

To clean:

cabal clean

To test:

dump-perf test/ParFib.perf.data | less
