finally it work, thank you

I'm getting

Makefile.config:1144: *** ERROR: libtraceevent is missing. Please install libtraceevent-dev/libtraceevent-devel or build with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.  Stop.

Unfortunately.....

$ sudo apt install libtraceevent-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libtraceevent-dev

For anyone else who gets this, looking at the page for libtraceevent suggests that the issue is probably because I am still on Ubuntu 2020.04 LTS (Focal). The oldest they have is for 2022 Jammy. How quickly time has flown...

The latest LTS release is 2024.04 LTS (Noble). I'll post back here if upgrading doesn't fix this issue.

Edit: Installing 2024.04 LTS fixed the issue.

perf record, perf report work beautifully

Note then when I tried this I got an error message about warnings that were treated as errors so it wouldn't build. To work around the issue I did the following to build make -j$(nproc) WERROR=0

Also note that I had to install a lot more packages that what is listed above. The following is the full list of what I installed
sudo apt install -y build-essential flex bison pkg-config libssl-dev libelf-dev libdw-dev libunwind-dev libaudit-dev libbabeltrace-ctf-dev libtraceevent-dev libnuma-dev libpfm4-dev libslang2-dev systemtap-sdt-dev libdebuginfod-dev python3 python3-dev libpython3-dev libperl-dev openjdk-17-jdk
