[Dprobes] DProbes 3.6.3 + GNU Autotools

[Panagiotis I. <tak...@sk...>]

Dear Sir,

My daytime job consists of developing software for realtime systems. In
my search for tools to ease kernel debugging I found IBM's DProbes. 

Unfortunately, although the kernelpatch applied and compiled fine,
compiling the necessary tools failed. I fixed some bugs and sent the
fixes to the DProbes mailinglist earlier this evening, but afterwards I
noticed the intention of someone to convert the configuration and
buildsystem of the package to the GNU Autotools. 

"# This has gotten ugly beyond all belief, time to learn autoconf :)"

Later this evening, I started converting the dprobes-v3.3.6/cmd
subdirectory to use the GNU Autotools, and I just finished that
conversion. Since I only have x86 systems available at home, I couldn't
test the S390 and PPC versions. Theoretically, they should work though
:)

You can find the tarball at:

I hope you find it useful somehow.

With friendly regards,
Panagiotis Issaris
