Can anyone provide help on using profiling to Scott?  The fact that
it was built under ODE is irellevant -- it's built by 'make' according 
to the makefiles.

Scott, try the following instead of what you're doing; CFLAGS may be
getting overwritten by the makefiles; this is the correct way to pass
additional compiler switches:

	build "CARGS=-p" ...

thanks...	-josh

Hi,

I'm trying to profile an application that I built under ODE.  When I pix-ify it,
after building it, the pix-ified version core dumps upon execution.  I tried 
turning on the -p flag in the makefile, but when I run the resultant executable,
I don't get a "mon.out" file.  The executable works fine, but doesn't produce
any profiling data.

I tried putting the "-p" in the CFLAGS, which compiles OK, but I get the above
results.  When I put the "-p" in the LDFLAGS, I get the following error:

	cc: Error: -p0 or -p1 must precede any -B flags

Can someone tell me the correct method for profiling an OSF command/utility 
built under ODE?


Thanks very much,

Scott

Thanks for your prompt response, Josh.  Unfortunately, when I use the method
you describe above, I still don't get a "mon.out" after executing the binary.

Using the method above, or by defining the .o_CFLAGS = "-p" turns the switch
on during compilation, but not during linking.  This doesn't seem to achieve
the desired effect.  I think I need to get it turned on during the link, but
the -B switch is in the way.

Thanks again, though.  Anyone else have a suggestion?


Scott
