valgrind does not install on Snow Leopard

[godisgovernment@…]

The package needs to be updated a little for kernel 10.0.0

[raimue@…]

Will have to wait for valgrind 3.5.1, see  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205241

I have been able to successfully apply and build valgrind using snowleopard.patch from  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205241

From what I can tell, valgrind builds as 32-bit and can only be used on 32-bit binaries. This might be related to 'uname -m' returning 'i386' on Snow Leopard? I know that has caused some issues with configure scripts on other ports.

Looks like progress is moving forward on valgrind's end though.

I already tried the patch when I first linked to the upstream bug report, but it still failed with #error unknown darwin version in coregrind. Probably only the memcheck tool has been patched?

[posco2k5@…]

I've only tested the memcheck tool and that does work, so you are probably right.

Any updates on this?

Replying to raimue@…:

Hi all, I had similar issues while compiling valgrind. Therefore, I updated the patch file from  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205241 and created a corresponding Portfile patch to integrate this patch during the installation process. With this I successfully compiled valgrind and compiled it for both x86 and amd64 archs. I haven't extensively tested the build, so some feedback from that might be appreciated.

I'll attach both patch files.

Patch for the valgrind Portfile

[guillaume-jean@…]

Global patch for the valgrind sourcefiles

[raimue@…]

This still does not build for me:

/usr/bin/gcc-4.2  -Wno-long-long -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -fno-stack-protector  -L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64 -o vgpreload_memcheck-x86-darwin.so -dynamic -dynamiclib -all_load -arch i386 ../coregrind/libreplacemalloc_toolpreload-x86-darwin.a vgpreload_memcheck_x86_darwin_so-mc_replace_strmem.o  
ld: warning: in ../coregrind/libreplacemalloc_toolpreload-x86-darwin.a, file is not of required architecture

I haven't got time to check the patches by guillaume-jean, but there's a very short tutorial how to build your valgrind on 10.6  http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ValgrindOnSnowLeopard

it works for me! now only a Portfile is missing.....

[raimue@…]

There is now a valgrind-devel port as of r66719 which installs a snapshot from Subversion with additional patches. It works for me on Snow Leopard, but please report any functional problems directly to upstream.
