Help compiling Valgrind

[timothybean]

Hello,

Can anyone help as to the error being provided by LTIB on i.MX6:

checking for gdb... /usr/bin/gdb

checking for a supported version of gcc... ok (arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Freescale MAD -- Linaro 2011.07 -- Built at 2011/08/10 09:20) 4.6.2 20110630 (prerelease))

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for a supported CPU... no (arm)

configure: error: Unsupported host architecture. Sorry

error: Bad exit status from /home/tim/imx/ltib/ltib/tmp/rpm-tmp.10702 (%build)

Thanks

I ran into the same problem. I WAS able to get it built, but had to get the latest version (at that time) of valgrind to get it to compile. I am not near it now but I can send version and my spec file if you would like. This was on LTIB-1.1.0 release.

I was able to get it to compile and run properly as far as I can tell.

Hi Timothy,

I would be great to have version and spec file.

Many thanks,

i.

In case you don’t mind the building system, try compiling a image with yocto, and choose 'fsl-image-gui-sdk' image, it is the most complete and has all dev tools, including valgrind.

Hi there,

I too am interested in building -sdk & -dev for an imx6q sabrelite .

So far I only new of the existence of fsl-image-test & fsl-image-gui.

Now you mention fsl-image-gui-sdk. How can I verify if I have this recipy, because I am running:

find . -type d -name fsl-image-gui-sdk

but I get no results back.

Is this image equivalent to the images I mentioned before with the addition of

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "dbg-pkgs dev-pkgs tools-debug tools-profile tools-sdk debug-tweaks" in build/conf/local.conf ?

[LeonardoSandova]

It is on this path:

    meta-fsl-demos/recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-gui-sdk.bb

And it contains fsl-image-gui and extra image features as seen below:

$ cat meta-fsl-demos/recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-gui-sdk.bb

include recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-gui.bb

IMAGE_FEATURES += " \

    dev-pkgs \

    tools-sdk \

"

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += " \

    tools-debug \

    tools-profile \

    tools-testapps \

    debug-tweaks \

"

export IMAGE_BASENAME = "fsl-image-gui-sdk"

I had to modify the configure script by replacing "armv7*" with "arm*".

In the LTIB, the version of Valgrind is 3.3.1. The problem may due to the Valgrind version is too old. please try the latest version of Valgrind  (download from http://valgrind.org/)

Once you downloaded the latest source code from Valgrind, please save the source code package file in /opt/freescale/pkgs/.

Then modify the ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/valgrind/valgrind.spec.

Change the version number and comment out the patches for 3.3.1.

Then use the following ltib commands to build the Valgrind again.

./ltib -p valgrind -m prep            (extract the source code to rpm/BUILD/)

./ltib -p valgrind -m scbuild        (build the source code)

./ltib -p valgrind -m scdeploy     (install to rootfs)

[Tarek]

Yes I know that spec files is old. That's why I downloaded V3.8.1.

Same problem .....!

[jimmychan]

I search around in google. I found someone can build it.

http://blog.galemin.com/2010/10/how-to-build-valgrind-3-6-0-for-beagleboard-xm-on-ubuntu/

the name of arm used is "host=armv7-none-linux-gnueabi". seems it work, the configure can pass. Please try it.

[SantiagoVillafu]

Hi jimmychan,
I followed the instructions in the link you provided. I added a case with "arm*" in the configure file in "/LTIB/rpm/BUILD/valgrind-3.12.0/configure". I left "armv7*" in place.

arm*)
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: ok (${host_cpu})" >&5
$as_echo "ok (${host_cpu})" >&6; }
ARCH_MAX="arm"
;;

The compilation succeeded. I still have to test it in my iMX25. Thanks.

+ exit 0
Build time for valgrind: 18 seconds

EDIT: The binary does not work. When it's run it says: "Illegal instruction". :smileyconfused:

EDIT2: It looks like I cannot run valgrind on my iMX25 as it has no support for ARMv7 instructions:

:smileycry:

[jimmychan]

would you tell me which BSP are you using? which board are you using? and how to reproduce the issue? Thanks.

[Tarek]

BSP: Linux 4.0.0

Board: Saberlite i.MXQ6

To reproduce the problem:

./ltib -p valgrind

Valgrind supports Arm starting from version 3.x why is it not building on ltib?
