This feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, build the crash utility in the following manner: (1) Install the snappy libraries by using the host system's package manager or by directly downloading libraries from author's website. The packages required are: - snappy - snappy-devel The author's website is: http://code.google.com/p/snappy (2) Create a CFLAGS.extra file and an LDFLAGS.extra file in top-level crash sources directory: - enter -DSNAPPY in the CFLAGS.extra file - enter -lsnappy in the LDFLAGS.extra file. (3) Build crash with "make" as always. 6.0.7 - Enhanced the "search" command to allow the searched-for value <cut> - Add support to for reading dumpfiles compressed by LZO using makedumpfile version 1.4.4 or later. This feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, build the crash utility in the following manner: (1) Install the LZO libraries by using the host system's package manager or by directly downloading libraries from author's website.
