- The programs and libraries you want to profile should be compiled
with -fno-omit-frame-pointer and have debugging symbols available,
or you won't get much usable information.
Building Sysprof
----------------
You need some packages installed. The package names may vary depending on your
distribution, the following command works on Fedora 25:
sudo dnf install gcc make autoconf automake autopoint libtool ghc-gio
Then do the following:
./autogen.sh # configure, generate makefiles etc.
make # Build the code
make install # Install (default prefix /usr/local)
WARNING: `make install` will mostly install under the configured install prefix
but installs systemd service configuration directly in the system default
location `/usr/lib/systemd` so it won't work without root privileges, even if
the install prefix is a user-owned directory.
