Can you provide the config.log from the configure steps

We are missing the most important logs: lttng-sessiond.

$ lttng-sessiond -vvv --verbose-consumer

> Note : file /usr/local/bin/lttng (the exe I am using) gives :

This is normal. Concretely to support tracing of 32 bit applications only a 32 bits
lttng-consumerd executable is needed which is launched by the lttng-sessiond executable.

Hmmm, what indicate this? I seriously doubt that this can happen.

I decided to do the process on a clean ubuntu 20.04 machine.
For 2.12 there is some problems when compiling only lttng-consumerd (fd-tracker lib and libcommon problem). I plan on providing a patch shortly.

But the major problem is that the path passed at configure time for the lttng-consumerd32 bit daemon are simply not used at runtime.
See this bug I just opened [1]. This is valid for 2.10 all the way to master AFAIK.

In the meantime you will have to pass the lttng-consumerd 32 bit path as argument or env variables to lttng-sessiond as such:

$ lttng-sessiond -vvv --verbose-consumer --consumerd32-libdir=/usr/local/lib32 --consumerd32-path=/usr/local/lib32/lttng/libexec/lttng-consumerd

or

$ LTTNG_CONSUMERD32_BIN=/usr/local/lib32/lttng/libexec/lttng-consumerd LTTNG_CONSUMERD32_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib32 lttng-sessiond -vvv --verbose-consumer


From there the 32bits application is traced correctly and data is gathered without any problem (at least on 2.12).
