Please, could you help me to arrange profiling with cvs ghc-6-2-2 ? Without profiling, the Makefile contains ------------------------------------------------------------- HCFlags = $(language) -i$(idirs) -odir $(e) -hidir $(e) \ -ddump-hi-diffs \ +RTS $(space) -RTS $(extraHCOpts) extraHCOpts = pack = Package {name = "\"dm\"", \ import_dirs = ["\"$(e)\""], \ source_dirs = [], \ library_dirs = ["\"$(e)\""], \ hs_libraries = ["\"HSdm\""], \ extra_libraries = [], \ include_dirs = [], \ c_includes = [], \ package_deps = [\"data\"], \ extra_ghc_opts = [$(extraPackageOpts)], \ extra_cc_opts = [], \ extra_ld_opts = [] } obj: if [ ! -d $(e) ]; then mkdir $(e); fi $(ghc) $(HCFlags) --make DExport -package-name dm dm: obj rm -f $(e)/libHSdm.a $(e)/HSdm.o ar -qc $(e)/libHSdm.a $(wildcard $(e)/*.o) $(RANLIB) $(e)/libHSdm.a $(RANLIB) $(e)/libHSdm.a echo $(pack) | $(ghcpkg) -f $(s)/dm.conf -u -g $(ghcpkg) -f $(s)/dm.conf -l ----------------------------------------------------------------- First, I do not recall why the line $(RANLIB) $(e)/libHSdm.a repeats, by intention or by a typo. Then, for the profiling, I set extraHCOpts = -prof -hisuf p_hi -osuf p_o ... dm: obj rm -f $(e)/libHSdm* $(e)/HSdm* ar -qc $(e)/libHSdm_p.a $(wildcard $(e)/*.p_o) ~~~~ ~~~~ $(RANLIB) $(e)/libHSdm_p.a ~~~~ $(RANLIB) $(e)/libHSdm_p.a echo $(pack) | $(ghcpkg) -f $(s)/dm.conf -u -g ~~~ $(ghcpkg) -f $(s)/dm.conf -l To build the test, I command cd demotest ghc $pcpdm -prof -hisuf p_hi -osuf p_o --make Main Please, where to set foo_p.a or foo.p_a ... ? (or what it might be). And how the above $(ghcpkg) ... -u -g correlates with this. What to change in pack = Package {... ? } I set it one way, and the library build reports cannot find `libHSdm.a' on library path. I set it other way, and ghc $pcpdm -prof -hisuf p_hi -osuf p_o --make Main reports cannot find HSdm_p Should it be export/HSdm_p.o or HSdm.p_o or HSdm.o or ? export/libHSdm_p.a or libHSdm.p_a or libHSdm.a or ? As Simon Marlow has the source d.zip, maybe he could send me the corresponding settled Makefile?

In the future, Cabal will make this easier. Have you tried using Cabal for docon yet? It should simplify a lot of things for you.

I applied profiling with GHC 2-3 years ago. It helped. And do not recall of Cabal, nor even of -hisuf p_hi -osuf p_o options. Why should GHC complicate the usage? Thank you in advance for the help, ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
