KernelShark has instructions in its README on how to get necessary
dependencies to build it. trace-cmd could follow this example and
also add more information on how to build it.

This patch adds instructions to README on how to get necessary libraries
and dependencies to build trace-cmd.

Thanks for sending this.

BUILDING: +In order to install build dependencies on Ubuntu do the following:
+    sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config bison flex -y

Note, once the libtracefs settles down, I plan on committing the files
that are generated by bison and flex, so it shouldn't be a requirement
once libtracefs 1.3 is officially released. That is, because the files
generated by flex and bison will be included in the repository, you do
not need to include bison or flex to build it. Unless you plan on
modifying the bison and flex source files.

Also, can we have a Fedora version? If you don't know what that is, I
could come up with the equivalents.

Hello Steve, thanks for your kind reply.

I will come up with a Fedora version and send the updated patch tomorrow.
Also, given what you said, I think it is better then to remove bison and flex from this patch, and I will also do this when I send the updated patch.

Best regards,
