Re: Error: staprun syntax error on Target

[Satish Kumar <sakumar at mvista dot com>]

Hi Frank,

Thank you for quick reply.
It is working now on target board based on your inputs.

If compiling stap, staprun, stapio on the same system, instead of using
Cross compilation, issue becomes resolved.


In this case, systemtap 2.6 + elfutils 0.161 + Kernel 3.14 --> success
Same want to run on Kernel 4.9, so which version of systemtap &  which
version of elfutils should use
I am looking for ARM Arch .board
Because if systemtap version and kernel version are not aligned, it does
not work(Provided in one of Document).

If systemtap not supports till 4.9 kernel ,
what is highest supported Kernel version + which systemtap version + which
elfutils version?

Please provide the above information

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Satish.G
