[PATCH v1 11/13] perf build: If libtraceevent isn't present error the build

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat Mar 11 2023 - 02:00:42 EST


If libtraceevent isn't present, the build will warn and continue. This
disables a number of features and so isn't desirable. This change
makes the build error for this case. The build can still be made to
happen by adding NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.
