Build

Check Dependencies section to resolve the dependencies.

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure [--with-libipmctl=<path_to_libipmctl> --with-libipmctl-inc=<path_to_libipmctl_header_files> --prefix=$HOME/pmwatch --bindir=$HOME/pmwatch/bin64 --libdir=$HOME/pmwatch/lib64]
$ make
$ make -j install

The parameters for configure are optional.
If you are building PMWatch for collectd (dcpmm plugin) dependency, make sure to use --libdir=<install_path>/lib64.

Using scripts to build and create install package

You can also use the scripts available for build and package creation.

$ ./prepare_pmwatch_release.sh M=<major_version> m=<minor_version> u=<update_num> with-libipmctl=<path_to_libipmctl> with-libipmctl-inc=<path_to_libipmctl_header_files> os=linux -r

Check pmw_version.h to obtain major, minor version and update number.

Build

Standalone build script.

$ ./build_pmwatch.sh -all with-libipmctl=<path_to_libipmctl> with-libipmctl-inc=<path_to_libipmctl_header_files> os=linux

Package

Standalone packaging script.

$ ./package_pmwatch.sh M=<major_number> m=<minor_number> u=<update_num> os=linux -r

Use the -h option to get more details about the scripts' options.
