The parameters for configure are optional.
If you are building PMWatch for collectd (dcpmm plugin) dependency, make sure to use --libdir=<install_path>/lib64.
Using scripts to build and create install package
You can also use the scripts available for build and package creation.
$ ./prepare_pmwatch_release.sh M=<major_version> m=<minor_version> u=<update_num> with-libipmctl=<path_to_libipmctl> with-libipmctl-inc=<path_to_libipmctl_header_files> os=linux -r
Check pmw_version.h to obtain major, minor version and update number.
