Can't generate gmon.out with gprof

Hi all,

I'm trying to run GPROF on my project (Quartus Prime 18.0).

I have added the "enable_gprof" and "enable_exit" flags in the BSP, and I can see it does pass the -pg option when building.

I have -g and -O0 as well.

The application runs but I cannot get any gmon.out file output.

What am I missing? I have been stuck with this for hours and can't seem to figure it out...

    Perfect. Thanks! Just to complement the answer: in my case, where I am using the good old GNU Make and didn't want to modify the makefiles, the "-pg" flag was added to the hold process through the (environment variable) CFLAGS (for the object bluestacks (https://bluestacks.vip/) textnow (https://textnow.vip/) photomath (https://photomath.vip/) generation) and LDFLAGS for the linking stage.

    Hi! I have the same problem, did you solve it?

    Did you create your project through the GUI?
