[PATCH v2] perf tools: Improve libbfd detection message

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Sat Feb 28 2015 - 03:46:57 EST



Before:

No bfd.h/libbfd found, install binutils-dev[el]/zlib-static to gain symbol demangling

After:

No bfd.h/libbfd found, please install binutils-dev[el]/zlib-static/libiberty-dev to gain symbol demangling

Change the message to the standard 'please install' language and also add
libiberty-dev suggestion for Ubuntu systems.
