+The official repository is here:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/
+
+This repository requires libtraceevent to be installed:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git/
+
+
+To build:
+
+ make;
+ sudo make install;
+
+To build in a specific directory outside of the source directory:
+
+ make O=/path/to/build; sudo make O=/path/to/build
+
+ Note that the path needs to exist before building.
+
+To set the install path (the expected final location):
+
+ make prefix=/usr; sudo make O=/path/to/build
+
+To install in a directory not for the local system (for use to move
+to another machine):
+
+ make DESTDIR=/path/to/dest/ install
+
+ Note, if you have write permission to the DESTDIR, then there is
+ no reason to use sudo or switch to root.
+
+ Note, DESTDIR must end with '/', otherwise the files will be appended
+ to the path, which will most likely have unwanted results.
