[Feature Request] Build CLI tool without Qt / OpenGL

Open SoftwareApe opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

OpenGL seems to be a bit problematic with my nvidia graphics card. Also I don't need a live view of the profiling. I would like to be able to just output a trace / flamegraph / callgraph after capturing the output. For this I think it would be ideal to have a CLI version of orbit. That would also have fewer dependencies.

Thanks for the request. There is already a bit into this direction: OrbitClientGpp allows you to take a fixed size capture of a specific PID and saves the capture file.

Please note that Orbit's capture format is currently rewritten and, will thus change in the near future (see here).

The (graphical) output/evaluation can be then done using the Jupyter notebooks (also mentioned in #1608).
