  1. The cpufrequtils package (homepage:
  2. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufrequtils.html )
  3. consists of the following elements:
  4. requirements
  5. ------------
  6. On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
  7. For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
  8. providing cpuid.h is needed.
  9. For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
  10. libcpufreq
  11. ----------
  12. "libcpufreq" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
  13. tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
  14. allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
  15. the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
  16. interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
  17. compilation and installation
  18. ----------------------------
  19. make
  20. su
  21. make install
  22. should suffice on most systems. It builds default libcpufreq,
  23. cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info files and installs them in /usr/lib and
  24. /usr/bin, respectively. If you want to set up the paths differently and/or
  25. want to configure the package to your specific needs, you need to open
  26. "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and edit the block marked
  27. CONFIGURATION.
  28. THANKS
  29. ------
  30. Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
  31. libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpufrequtils;
  32. to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
  33. powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
  34. and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
  35. cpufrequtils.
