See http://sourceware.org/ml/systemtap/2008-q3/msg00809.html
I see a few separate issues:
* running stap without a make install
We could help by having the Makefile print out instructions
about how to use stap from the build tree (for a make all)
or the install tree (for a make install):
% make
[...]
We recommend you "make install", but if you wish, you may
run systemtap out of this build tree using these environment
variables:
env SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME=......
% make install
[...]
We commend you upon your wise decision to install systemtap.
You just need $prefix/bin in your $PATH and you're ready to enjoy.
Yeah, the man page could help too.
* stap -r /BUILD/TREE should work better
This is bug #5892, with some extras. q.v.
* make verbosity a pass-dependent thing
I don't know off-hand what to do ... maybe extend the "-p NUM"
syntax to add an associated verbosity level for the duration.
* let stap find staprun and stapio in $PATH too
The solution would be to extend $PATH with $prefix/libexec,
or stat and execvp if $execdir/.../stap{run,io} don't exist.
* make staprun clean up before & after itself better w.r.t.
loaded modules if something with stapio goes wrong
