bitblaze-additional-2010-06 installation question

[Zhang Mike]

I installed a Ubuntu system, and I have not use bitblaze in this system.

I saw there're two versions', one is temu-1.0 and vine-1.0, another is the bitblaze-additional-2010.06, which version should I install to my system?

I queried out much articles which are all talked about temu-1.0 and vine-1.0 version's installation, I think I need to install the newest version, or I need to install both of them, how to combine there installation?

I will be appreciated your helps, thanks!

The "bitblaze-additional" set of source code isn't a complete release,
so the 1.0 releases are the ones you need to start with. Whether it
makes sense to add the bitblaze-additional code depends on what you
want to do with TEMU and/or Vine: probably the most-requested feature
in the additional release is the source code for the Tracecap plugin,
so you'll want it if you plan on modifying Tracecap.

If the reason you think you want the latest version is for
compatibility with a modern platform (recent GCC, 3.x kernel, etc.),
even the additional release isn't new enough, but there have been
patches posted to the mailing list for most of the problems you're
likely to encounter.

You don't say which version of Ubuntu you're using. 9.04 was what we
used to recommend for the 1.0 releases, but it's now old enough that
it's unlikely to be what you have installed (unless perhaps you're
using a virtual machine). I think the most recent release that's seen
extensive testing is 12.04: for TEMU, you might want to take a look at
the message "TEMU/Tracecap, 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 build walk-through" I
posted about a month ago.

Hope this helps,
