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_load_address=0x38000000 -nodefaultlibs -nostartfiles -u _start -m32 -Wl,-T,../valt_load_address_x86_linux.lds memcheck_x86_linux-mc_leakcheck.o memcheck_x86_linux-mc_malloc_wrappers.o memcheck_x86_linux-mc_main.o memcheck_x86_linux-mc_translate.o memcheck_x86_linux-mc_machine.o memcheck_x86_linux-mc_errors.o ../coregrind/libcoregrind-x86-linux.a ../VEX/libvex-x86-linux.a -lgcc

So where is parse_procselfmaps 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.
