Having troubles using Valgrind with WSL on CLion

Working on Windows 10, enabled WSL and installed Ubuntu. WSL toolchain configured, I can build and run stuff on CLion, everything works perfectly except for Valgrind.

I used the path:

\\wsl$\Ubuntu\usr\bin\valgrind

but everytime I try to run a Memcheck I get:

Valgrind executable is not found

What should I do?

Solution

  • Try to use Posix path /usr/bin/valgrind. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/memory-profiling-with-valgrind.html#valgrind-wsl

    Works for me.
