Hi,
| The best way to do this would be, I think, to build static libraries
| with profiling in as a separate bit of the build (./configure
| --enable-static --disable-shared CFLAGS=-pg ), rename them to libgsl_p.a
| and ship them as a separate libgsl0-prof package, rather like
| libc6-prof.
|
| Any chance of this in a future debian package, please? It'd make my life
| easier :-)
But it makes my life harder, and it bloats the archive. I really would rather
not do this. Any way you would agree to doing this would local variants?
I suppose the question is whether it's sufficiently useful to be worth
the small archive bloat. I think so, but them I'm a scientist ;-)
A survey of my local IRC channel suggests others who would like a
libgsl0-prof package too..
Do we have precedents for this? Which libraries provide profile builds?
A quick look at packages.debian.org suggests glibc and ghc (the haskell
compiler)
An alternative, would be to have a DEB_BUILD_OPTION that did as I
suggested (resulting in a single package containing the
profiling-enabled .a files, with filenames such that you could install
them into /usr/lib without over-writing anything). That would be less
convenient than a binary package to install, but easier than users
having to futz around inside build systems.
Regards,
Matthew
