Hi Ian,

Once again - apologies for multiple copies of this email. Please reply

Yes, x86_64, specifically.

cd /data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-newdev.git/linux/build/tools/tools/perf
&& make EXTRAVERSION=-orc

none that I can think of.

make[3]: Entering directory
`/data/home/bguthro/dev/orc-newdev.git/linux/build/tools/tools/perf'
Makefile:502: No libunwind found, disabling post unwind support.
Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 0.99
Makefile:537: No libdw.h found or old libdw.h found or elfutils is
older than 0.138, disables dwarf support. Please install new
elfutils-devel/libdw-dev
Makefile:567: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please
install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev
Makefile:580: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install
newt-devel or libnewt-dev
Makefile:752: No bfd.h/libbfd found, install
binutils-dev[el]/zlib-static to gain symbol demangling

Actually - I hadn't noticed these warnings before.

After installing libdw-dev - the perf build completed successfully.
Perhaps this should be fatal, rather than a warning?

Thanks for your help

Ben
