If you use the CVS version of strace there will be some files missing
|
||||
that you need to build strace. These files are generated by tools from
|
||||
the GNU autoconf package.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to generate the missing package you can run the cvsbuild script.
|
||||
For some architectures (powerpc, (ultra)sparc) you need a recent version
|
||||
of autoconf, otherwise it might fail to recognize your system.

========================================================================
|
||||
This is the unmodified README from Branko Lankester's release of strace
|
||||
for Linux. Some of the notes and instructions are no longer valid
|
||||
however the file has been retained for its historical value. -- jrs
|
||||
========================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
This is the second release of strace for linux, it requires linux
|
||||
version 0.99.10 or newer. strace was written by Paul Kranenburg for
|
||||
SunOS, I have modified it to work with linux. Read the file README and
|
||||
the strace.1 for more info on strace.
|
||||
Strace has been ported by Branko Lankester <branko@hacktic.nl>
|
||||
to run on Linux systems. Since then it has been greatly modified
|
||||
by various other people.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to compile strace on a Linux system please make sure
|
||||
that you use very recent kernel headers. Strace needs those to get
|
||||
the proper data structures used by the kernel, since these can be
|
||||
different from the structures that the C library uses. Currently
|
||||
you will need a 2.2.7 or newer kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes for this release are:
|
||||
- bugfixes
|
||||
- support for new system calls and ioctls
|
||||
- symbolic output for: termio ioctls, sysv ipc, fcntl file locking,
|
||||
statfs and ptrace
|
||||
- microsecond time stamps
|
||||
To compile strace using your kernel source you need to tell make where
|
||||
you put the sources. For example if you have your kernelsource in
|
||||
/usr/src/linux, you should invoke make like this:
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of the changes and bugfixes for this version were done by
|
||||
Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>, System V IPC support was added
|
||||
by Ulrich Pegelow <pegelow@moorea.uni-muenster.de>.
|
||||
make CFLAGS=-I/usr/src/linux/include
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that it is possible to symlink /usr/include/{asm,linux,scsi}
|
||||
to your kernel source, but for programs that don't need the actual kernel
|
||||
structures that is highly discouraged.

|

getioctls script to create the ioctlents.h file for linux.

|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- With older versions of Linux (before 0.99.10) signals can get lost
|
||||
for a traced process.
|
||||
|
||||
- strace works best if you have a proc fs mounted on /proc, the
|
||||
/proc/##/mem frame buffers are used for reading system call arguments.
|
||||
You can use /dev/ram or some other unused block device for mounting
|
||||
the proc fs:
|
||||
|
||||
mount -t proc /dev/ram /proc
|
||||
|
||||
or in /etc/fstab:
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/hda /proc proc defaults
