problem with mips-linux gprof

[Krishna <dhunjukrishna@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

 

I have been trying to use mips-linux gprof from last few days. But not able to get profile data. Here what I did: 

 

1. cross compiled program for mips-linux as follows

$ mips-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -o hello hello.c -g -pg -lc

 

2. then ran hello on target mips-linux system (BCM91480B) which generates gmon.out file.

 

3. copy gmon.out to the host.

 

4. run mips-linux gprof as follows 

$mips-unknown-linux-gnu-gprof hello

 

But i get the following error message

mips-unknown-linux-gnu-gprof: gmon.out file is missing call-graph data

 

Then I googled around and found someone suggesting to use lib_p.a during compilation. But i don't have that library.

Please someone help me to get rid of this problem.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Krishna
