[Valgrind-users] Installing valgrind using a crosscompiler

[Lothar R. <l.r...@we...>]

Hello,

I would like to use Valgrind/memcheck on a PowerPC architecture. On the target system will be a Linux installation
but I have to use a cross-compiler.

My question is now, how to compile valgrind for a PPC system using a crosscompiler?

I already thought about copying some of the config files to the system, run them and modifying the make file... but
there must be a "normal" way. Hence, plz can you give me a brief explanation how to configure, compile and move
the resulting valgrind files to a system, using a cross compiler? Perhaps someone has a link for this situation, e.g.
a howto..

Thanks in advance,
L

./configure --host=powerpc-linux-gnu --enable-tls 

I'm just guessing the configuration triple here. You need to substitute
what is right for your environment.
Make sure the cross compiler is on your PATH.
If your building from svn you also need to working combination of the
autotools. I use autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.7 and those work.
