I have a little library that depends on the 'ghc' api library.
I would like to build my library in profiling mode but this is not possible as the 'ghc' library itself seems to be distributed only in non-profiling mode.
Is there any way out?
How can I get or build a profiling version of 'ghc'?
It's certainly easy enough to get a profiling version of GHC - you just add -prof to GhcStage2HcOpts (for example) in mk/build.mk. To get a profiled version of the GHC library that you can link against, I'm not sure - I don't think I've ever done this. You might try setting 'GhcCompilerWays=p' in mk/build.mk. Almost certainly some tweaks will be necessarily in compiler/Makefile, but I'm not sure how much. Cheers, Simon
