Has anyone tried to use gprof for profiling dillo? Using "--enable-gprof" for configure seems to work, and calling the tests (e. g.. test/dw-example) create the file "gmon.out", but not so does starting src/dillo. The option "-pg" is set everywhere, so I do not know what the difference is.

Any ideas?

Did you look in /tmp for the gmon.out file? Cores also end up there.

Ah, yes, it is there. Thanks! (According to the man page, "gmon.out" is created in the current working directory, when exit() is called.) Sebastian

Why don't remove it?

There was a thread discussing it:
http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2011-December/009221.html

Because of this, open dialog starts in /tmp, and it is a bug. Usually
you start dillo from your home directory, why would you want to
unmount it? And if you really plan to unmount it, you can change
working directory yourself.
