Time [in minutes]: <= 30 minutes Platform [OS, libraries, etc.]: Ubuntu Linux 13.10 32bit Skill level: - I can build complex software like GCC and the Linux kernel Detailed evaluation: The tool passed and seems impressively usable. I could build and run succesfully aprof 0.2.0 (released on Dec 10, 2013), run on the first example of the tutorial: https://code.google.com/p/aprof/wiki/Tutorial1#Profiling_a_simple_program I also run the (precompiled) Java GUI aprof-plot 0.2.0 (on my Mac). [1] https://code.google.com/p/aprof/downloads/detail?name=aprof-0.2.0.tar.gz&can=2&q= I only had some trouble with zooming in some graphs. As documented, this required autotools. apt-get install autoconf was sufficient. == The original build failed because a.out.h is not found, but that is a Linux system header. Also, the website recommends not following the README, unlike the tester did: https://code.google.com/p/aprof/wiki/Install No older release is available, so it's hard to understand whether I tested the same version as them.
