AFAICT, there is no OS X-native cachegrind file visualization app for OS X. THIS BLOWS ASS. Right now I’m on hour 5 of compiling shit from Fink to get KCacheGrind installed, and even then I have to run that shit in the XWindows env. Turdly.
I’m sorta kicking around the idea of writing one of my own in RealBasic, which would be handy because it would be cross-platform out of the box. Thoughts?
Yes, this does suck. CURSE YOU ANDREW ROHL, he-who-created-the-povray-port-for-fink-whihc-wouldn’t-compile-and-halted-the-install-of-bundle-kde-because-he-forgot-to-add-a-.1-to-the-name-of-the-tarball. That little annoyance took me about 2 hours to track & fix. Not to mention that XFree didn’t compile so I had to switch to x.org.
So yeah, we need a native kcachegrind. I’m willing to take a shot at it with RealBasic, once I figure out what functionality it should have, once I actually get kcachegrind running. Hopefully soon.
So, how’s that OS X native, RealBasic based version of kcachegrind coming along? I’d guess in the year and a half since you first mentioned it you must have made some pretty significant progress.
Bwahahahahha

While it didn’t take me anywhere near that long to get kcachegrind compiled and installed via fink, a native app would be great.
