But as it only supports minimal functionalities, it also disables support to 'probe' builtin command. Currently it didn't warned to user. Fix it. $ sudo apt-get remove libelf-dev $ make CHK -fstack-protector-all CHK -Wstack-protector CHK -Wvolatile-register-var CHK bionic CHK libelf CHK glibc Makefile:491: No libelf found, disables 'probe' tool, please install elfutils-libelf-devel/libelf-dev CHK libunwind CHK libaudit $ make NO_LIBELF=1 CHK -fstack-protector-all CHK -Wstack-protector CHK -Wvolatile-register-var CHK bionic CHK libaudit Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-8ww8zc4hhpxabfskxs3u5ede@git.kernel.org [ committer note: The package needed is elfutils-libelf-devel, not elfutils-devel ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile b/tools/perf/Makefile index 7e25f59e5e89..b1801e0693c9 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile @@ -490,6 +490,8 @@ ifneq ($(call try-cc,$(SOURCE_LIBELF),$(FLAGS_LIBELF),libelf),y) LIBC_SUPPORT := 1 endif ifeq ($(LIBC_SUPPORT),1) + msg := $(warning No libelf found, disables 'probe' tool, please install elfutils-libelf-devel/libelf-dev); + NO_LIBELF := 1 NO_DWARF := 1 NO_DEMANGLE := 1
