BUILDING:

In order to install build dependencies on Debian / Ubuntu do the following:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config -y
    sudo apt-get install libtracefs-dev libtraceevent-dev -y

In order to install build dependencies on Fedora, as root do the following:
    dnf install gcc make git pkg-config -y
    dnf install libtracefs-devel libtraceevent-devel -y

In case your distribution does not have the required libtracefs and
libtraceevent libraries, build and install them manually:

    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git/
    cd libtraceevent
    make
    sudo make install

    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/
    cd libtracefs
    make
    sudo make install

To make trace-cmd
    make

To make the gui
    make gui

INSTALL:

To install trace-cmd
    make install

To install the gui
    make install_gui

To install libtracecmd libraries
    make install_libs

Note: The default install is relative to /usr/local
    The default install directory is /usr/local/bin
    The default plugin directory is /usr/local/lib/trace-cmd/plugins

To change the default, you can set 'prefix', eg
mkdir $HOME/test-trace
make prefix=$HOME/test-trace
make prefix=$HOME/test-trace install
