Install aprof

Currently, aprof does not ship with Valgrind, so you have to download it from our download section.

Alternatively, if you want to try the latest version under development, you can download it from GIT:

git clone https://github.com/ercoppa/aprof

(stable version) Uncompress the tgz package and compile it (automake tools are needed):

cd aprof-X.Y.Z/valgrind
./build.sh

(development version) Compile it (automake tools are needed):

cd aprof/valgrind
./build.sh

last development version includes Valgrind 3.11.0

aprof will be installed locally under the aprof-X.Y.Z/inst directory. See Basic usage.

Please note that the README and INSTALL files in the source directory are the ones provided by Valgrind developers and they can give you different instructions (goal: system installation).

Install aprof-plot

You can download the latest release of aprof-plot from the download section.

Alternatively, if you want to try the latest version under development, you can download it from GIT:

git clone https://github.com/ercoppa/aprof

JCommon, JFreeChart and RSyntaxTextArea are required by aprofplot; they are included in the aprofplot code repository (under aprofplot/lib).

In order to use the source code browsing function, you need to have installed on your system a recent version of ctags. On Mac OS X, you can download a recent binary (dmg) of ctags here. Then you need to set in aprof-plot /usr/local/bin/exuberant-ctags as ctags binary (see below).

To make the jar file, import the NetBeans project from aprofplot/ and build it.

Set ctags binary path

aprof-plot needs to know where ctags is installed on your system. By default, it will search ctags as ctags-exuberant. If your ctags has another name, you can set the right name (or the right path) in aprof-plot > edit > settings > Tools > ctags binary.
