[Valgrind-developers] Compiling Valgrind 3.7.0 for Android on Mac OS X.

[mingw a. <min...@gm...>]

Hi,

I work on Necessitas Qt Creator for Android, and as Qt Creator
mainline supports Valgrind integration, I though I'd have a go at
getting it to work for our Android port. I'm trying to do this on Mac
OS X 10.7.

I followed the instructions in README.android but configure failed. We
use our own version of the NDK (newer gdb with python, newer gcc,
newer binutils, but compatible with Google's):

http://mingw-and-ndk.googlecode.com/files/android-ndk-r6b-gdb-7.3.50.20110709-darwin-x86.7z

I've attached the config.log, some of the issues from the console are:

checking for gdb... /Developer-3.2.5/usr/bin/gdb [should be
/usr/ndki/android-ndk-r6b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6.2/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gdb
?]
checking for the kernel version... unsupported (11.2.0)
configure: error: Valgrind works on kernels 2.4, 2.6

So it's picked up the Darwin kernel version number.

For Android, this check cannot be performed I guess?

Is it not possible to build this on Mac OS X? Ideally, I'd like to be
able to build it on OS X, MinGW and Linux as I build everything else
in my NDK release on each of these build machines.

Cheers,

Ray Donnelly.
