[comp.windows.x] using gprof with an X application

slm@cs.arizona.edu (Sandy Miller) (04/13/91)

I have a program which links in the X libraries and creates windows,
etc. using the Athena widgets and using X11R4.  My "boss" would like
me to run it with gprof to discover what is so slow (the X stuff,
or the underlying algorithm).  Unfortunately, when I try to compile
and link with -pg or -p, I get the following error:

   ld: _DYNAMIC bootstrapping not available: use -Bstatic

But when I add -Bstatic to the link arguments, I get the funcitons
_XShapeQueryExtension and _XShapeCombineMask as undefined.

Has anyone been able to compile X window programs with gprof or prof
and been successful.  If so, could you let me in on the secret? ;-)

Thanks a million,
