Android valgrind build fails


Hello I'm trying to build valgrind for android-arm. On Linux Mint 13 it fails with:

$ make
echo "# This is a generated file, composed of the following suppression rules:" > default.supp
echo "# " exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp  >> default.supp

I am using ndk-r8e and valgrind 3.8.1. The configure ends with:

     Maximum build arch: arm
     Primary build arch: arm
   Secondary build arch: 
               Build OS: linux
   Primary build target: ARM_LINUX
 Secondary build target: 
       Platform variant: vanilla
  Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_arm_linux_vanilla=1
     Default supp files: exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp 

What can I do to fix this? Alternatively, are there any pre-built android-arm valgrind binaries that I can use?


Solution

  • The problem I had was that the configure script was ignoring the environment variables. To configure the make file I instead did this:

    sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst --host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux --with-tmpdir=/sdcard0 CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm" CC=$CC LD=$LD AR=$AR
    

    This ensures the variables are set properly and works with Linux Mint 13. It does not work on OSX Mountain Lion however. I'd advise anyone using OSX without access to a linux installation to try using linux on a virtual machine.
