[Mono-dev] Using profiler in mono 3.0.x (is this still a working feature?)

[Jonathan Shore]

I just did a new build of mono with llvm of the mono-3.0.7 tar ball.   I get the same problem with mono-sgen:

$ /opt/mono-3.0/bin/mono-sgen --profile=log:calls,output=profile.log,maxframes=10,calldepth=100 EAOutputEvaluator.exe ...
The 'log' profiler wasn't found in the main executable nor could it be loaded from 'mono-profiler-log'.

I had built mono with:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/mono-3.0 --enable-llvm=yes

It would seem that the 3.0.x builds are excluding the profiler ...
