| <p>Gprof plugin depends on binutils (such as addr2line, c++filt and nm). Gprof can be used on any platform as soon as these binutils are in PATH. For example, you can use it on windows with cygwin. </p> |

| <p>First of all, the user has to compile the C/C++ program with profiling enabled using the -pg option prior to running the tool. This can be done via the project Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Tool Settings->GCC C Compiler->Debugging tab which has a check-box "Generate Gprof Information (-pg)". A similar check-box can be used for CDT Autotools projects. It is found under project Properties->Autotools->Configure Settings->configure->Advanced.</p> |

| <p>When the user tires to run gprof for the first time, the user will be asked if he would like eclipse to enable gprof for the user automatically. </p> |
| <p>This will enable the debug checkbox 'Generate gprof information (-pg)' in the setting shown in the following screenshot:</p> |
