The cpupower package 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).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
libcpupower
 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
"libcpupower" 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 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.
