Anybody using valgrind memory leak detection tool?

[tvnaidu]

downloaded valgrind package and tried to compile - getting this link error- any idea?

gcc -Wno-long-long -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -fno-stack-protector -o memcheck-x86-linux -static -Wl,-defsym,valt_loa d_address=0x380 00000 -nodefaultlibs -nostartfiles -u _start -m32 -Wl,-T,../valt_load_addre ss_x86_linux.ld s memcheck_x86_li nux-mc_leakcheck.o memcheck_x86_li nux-mc_malloc_wrapp ers.o memcheck_x86_li nux-mc_main.o memcheck_x86_li nux-mc_translate.o memcheck_x86_li nux-mc_machine.o memcheck_x86_li nux-mc_errors.o ../coregrind/libcoregrind-x86-linux.a ../VEX/libvex-x86-linux.a -lgcc

So where is parse_procselfm aps defined?

It has to be in the file being compiled or there has to an extern for it. In the case of an extern, it has to be in a link library.

Thanks, I fixed this. Now I tried to run on target, it is not running, I posted this in other thread

Hi tvnaidu,

How did you fix this? I'm having the same problem but i haven't been able to fix this yet...
Thanks!

first could you compile on host and verify: goto installation dir and issue this:

./configure; make ; make install

the above command installs everything in /usr/local/bin and /use/local/lib/valgrind.


if it works ok on host, then compile for your target, you have to pass which target, for my case is i386-linux-host, --prefix needs where to install, --prefix=/usr.

for the above error, I did clean and then compile, it got compiled.
