How can I compile Valgrind on Snow Leopard?

How can I c开发者_开发技巧ompile Valgrind on Snow Leopard?

---

Assuming you've got XCode tools installed and an SVN client, here it goes.

Go to some directory you keep stuff in. Checkout valgrind sources

svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/tags/VALGRIND_3_5_0 valgrind

Download Greg Parker's 10.6 patch

curl http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=36999 > 10.6.patch
mv 10.6.patch ./valgrind

Apply the patch

cd valgrind
patch -p0 < 10.6.patch

Compile valgrind

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Install it

sudo make install

Run it

valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes /tmp/a.out

---

FYI, Valgrind 3.6 (released October 21, 2010) officially supports Snow Leopard out-of-the-box.

In addition to the (almost) perfect answer of diciu. For compiling a 64 bit version of valgrind (required for 64 bit executables, aka. the standard in OS 10.6). You will need to run configure like this: ./configure --enable-only64bit

---

diciu's answer worked flawlessly for a 32 bit build, but I couldn't get a 64 bit build working by adapting those instructions.

Found some other working instructions for getting a 64bit build of valgrind though.

(replicated here, slightly adapted, since wget is not installed by default on os x)

svn co -r 11104 svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk valgrind
cd valgrind
curl http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=40091 -o snow-leopard.patch
curl http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=40900 -o arc4random.patch
curl http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=42530 -o sidt.patch 
curl http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=42892 -o signal.patch
patch -p0 < snow-leopard.patch
patch -p0 < arc4random.patch
patch -p1 < signal.patch
cd VEX; patch -p0 < ../sidt.patch ; cd ..
touch darwin10-drd.supp
touch darwin10.supp
./autogen.sh || autoreconf -fvi
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/inst64 --build=amd64-darwin
make -j 8 && make install

Edit: in response to the comments, to have both 32 and 64 bit also do the following commands: (note that I have no need for a 32bit valgrind, so I didn't try this, but it should work)

make clean
 ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/inst32
make -j 8 && make install

Both will be located in inst32/ and inst64/ afterwards.

Using the --enable-only64bit configure flag avoided having to hack host_cpu="x86_64" into the configure script (using the patch diciu posted)

---

brew install valgrind

You can't. It isn't supported yet.
