* Compiling

  Profiling with gprof requires the -pg compiler option for compiling

  and linking.  People have reported mixed success with profiling

  shared libraries.  It doesn't seem to work for me.  So I have to

  disable building shared libraries.  With static libraries, the tests

  don't compile.  It's probably a configuration issue that should be

  fixed.  But for now, the tests need to be disabled.



cd <source root>

./configure CXXFLAGS=-pg --enable-shared=no --enable-unit-tests=no



* Building

  Everything needs to be rebuilt, so 



make clean 

make 



* Running

  Run as usual.



cd vamos

./vamos <args> 



* Reporting

gprof vamos > <output file>



  With shared libraries, the actual executable is .libs/lt-vamos.  So

  in that case you'd give that as the argument to gprof.
