We have a --enable-profiling option nowadays. Note that it is not
enough in itself. You should add
--disable-assertions --disable-stdlib-debug -enable-optimization=-O2
OK ... I've tried this, and it looks like --disable-assertions
creates problems requiring that
#include <boost/current_function.hpp>
be added to each of the following:
src/factory.C
src/messages.C
src/text.C
src/text2.C
(I also had to hand-edit the tex2lyx Makefile to change optimization
to -Os, because of an apparent gcc bug on Mac OS X with -O2.)
Unfortunately, I can't get profiling to be usable: starting LyX from
the command line on Mac results in a LyX window that refuses to take
focus (resulting in useless profiling info), and I can't figure out
any other way to produce gmon.out. (Any suggestions?)
