With a recent snapshot of Cabal you can build a profiled version of any library as follows (including for FPS):
$ ./Setup.hs configure -p You'll then see ./Setup.hs build build the lib twice, once with and once without profiling. /usr/bin/ar: creating dist/build/libHSfps-0.1.a /usr/bin/ar: creating dist/build/libHSfps-0.1_p.a I'm using $ ghc-pkg list Cabal /home/dons/lib/ghc-6.4.1/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.4 Cheers, Don jeremy.odonoghue: > > Hi list, > I'm currently working on a pretty simple Haskell program to > manipulate memory dumps taken from an embedded environment. > The memory dumps are 64MB in length, so I manipulate them > using Don Stuart's Fast Packed String library, as it > supports mmapped files. > I'm a relative Haskell newbie, so unsurprisingly my first > attempt has dreadful performance (30% of time spent in GC), > and I want to do some profiling to find out why. > The difficulty is that I seem to be unable to produce a > profiling-enabled version of the FPS library, which means > that my application cannot be compiled with profiling > enabled.
