It walks through the library code, and will go into different paths automatically. I only need to install the code I change (sure, I need to go into that path to do so). But as I've been using libtracefs and libtraceevent for other tooling, I really don't want it part of the trace-cmd repo, or in the build path. > > > For the environment that we require a static build, that isn't really > > needed.
