Hi,
Two things:
1. Up until now, when developing Valgrind, to run it you had to do
"make install" and run it from the installed tree. I just committed to
HEAD a change that allows you to run it from the source directory
without having to install, if you see what I mean. The big advantage
of this is reduced compile times.
2. The regression test suite used to work on my machine but not on anyone
else's. It's now been robustified (further) against
distro/compiler/glibc/etc differences, and should (in theory) work for
anyone. I'd be interested to hear if it doesn't work for you. Note
that the tests:
memcheck/tests/mismatches
memcheck/tests/new_override
currently fail; mismatches is due to a distro/compiler/whatever
problem and should be fixed Real Soon Now, new_override represents a
real bug in Valgrind, and I'm not sure when it will be fixed. The big
advantage of using the tests is they make your life easier -- spotting
problems when you make a change.
See the new file README_DEVELOPERS for instructions on both points.
