[SOLVED] Does Mageia have a bpftrace tool?

Postby alopez » Jun 6th, '21, 00:45

I'm trying to install bpftrace but I only found the packages bpftool and bcc-tools. None of them includes bpftrace.

Is bpftrace in some other package, maybe with a less evident name? Or it is not at all available in Mageia?

No, it's not available. You could try the fedora packages.

I finally decided to build bpftrace instead of using Fedora's package because it depends on packages that don't have the same name in Mageia.

So this is how I did:
Code: Select all
dnf install lib64bcc-devel lib64elfutils-devel cmake bison flex systemtap-sdt-devel binutils-devel
git clone https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace
cd bpftrace
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DENABLE_TEST_VALIDATE_CODEGEN=OFF -DLIBBFD_DISASM_FOUR_ARGS_SIGNATURE=y ..
make -j8
sudo make install


bpftrace will be installed in /usr/local. To change the destination, use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<destination> in cmake.

If during make you get this error:
Code: Select all
[ 98%] Linking CXX executable bpftrace
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libbfd.a(plugin.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlclose@@GLIBC_2.2.5'

make: *** [Makefile:149: all] Error 2

Apply this patch:

For a moment it crossed my mind. I need to check how to become one.
