Now queued up.
But how are you getting past this error when building perf on Arch
Linux:
~/linux/stable/linux-4.4.y/tools/perf $ make
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
config/Makefile:448: Missing perl devel files. Disabling perl scripting support, please install perl-ExtUtils-Embed/libperl-dev
make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/7.1.1/include/stddef.h', needed by 'fixdep.o'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:36: fixdep-in.o] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/home/gregkh/linux/stable/linux-4.4.y/tools/build/Makefile.include:7: fixdep] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:69: all] Error 2
And yes, ExtUtils:Embed is installed :(
thanks,
