| An extra step is required to install the plugin (due to OProfile's lack of a user-space mode): |
| |
| * Run the install script in the natives/linux/scripts directory (must be as root): |
| |
| # ./install |
| |
| * This will ensure all the necessary programs are installed, and create a wrapper for opcontrol |
| which prompts for the root password (since OProfile must be run as root). It will also load the |
| OProfile kernel module, however it is not loaded persistently. Hence, after the computer is |
| restarted and any functions of the plugin are used, there will be an extra prompt to run |
| opcontrol that would not normally appear. |
| |
| * If there are any programs missing or an error occurs, the script will fail and display the error. |
| If there are no errors, you will see the message: |
| |
| Eclipse-OProfile plugin install successful. |
| |
| |
| * To uninstall the plugin, run the uninstall script in the natives/linux/scripts (must be root): |
| |
| # ./uninstall |
| |
| * This will simply remove the same files the install script created. |
