Description Curtis Doty 2010-12-08 02:16:31 UTC
It appears building perf can produce non-deterministic results depending upon whether one has newt-devel installed or not.

+ make -j12 -C tools/perf -s V=1 HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE=1 prefix=/usr all
Makefile:565: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install newt-devel or libnewt-dev
PERF_VERSION = 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64
Makefile:565: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install newt-devel or libnewt-dev
    * new build flags or prefix

Simple fix to make it required?
