Building cpupower with -fno-common in CFLAGS results in errors due to multiple definitions of the 'cpu_count' and 'start_time' variables. ./utils/idle_monitor/snb_idle.o:./utils/idle_monitor/cpupower-monitor.h:28: multiple definition of `cpu_count'; ./utils/idle_monitor/nhm_idle.o:./utils/idle_monitor/cpupower-monitor.h:28: first defined here ... ./utils/idle_monitor/cpuidle_sysfs.o:./utils/idle_monitor/cpuidle_sysfs.c:22: multiple definition of `start_time'; ./utils/idle_monitor/amd_fam14h_idle.o:./utils/idle_monitor/amd_fam14h_idle.c:85: first defined here The -fno-common option will be enabled by default in GCC 10.

The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
requirements
------------
On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
providing cpuid.h is needed.
For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
libcpupower
----------
"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
compilation and installation
----------------------------
make
su
make install
should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
THANKS
------
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
cpupower.
