Hello,
I'm a novice user of the GNU autotools trying to create the appropriate
configuration for a small simulation library I'm writing, called Minga.

Thanks very much. I hadn't thought ab
I have a small library which is built using the GNU autotools. It also
includes some executable programs which use the main library. I would
like to profile the performance using gprof or another tool but have
been having trouble working out how to do so. I tried simply adding -p
to the CFLAGS b

Ah! That explains much. Thank you.
I still get results tha

I have an option for my program to use no threads and the same results

Ahh, brilliant! Thank you ever so much.
