Problem: Not able to run Valgrind binary in ARM.
I cross compiled the Valgrind-3-13-0 successfully in Linux host. And I moved the binaries to my ARM target. I ran Valgrind in the arm it says not found.
Steps to cross-compile
During the build process, I poked the configure file, changed armv7 as arm.
./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/home/my_dir
and I tried this option as well
./configure --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/my_dir
then make and make install.
I see Valgrind is located in my root file system /usr/bin, wondering why its saying not found.
This is the final output from the Valgrind cross-compilation. Below is just tree of my install dir.
target_val/
├── bin
├── include
│ └── valgrind
│ └── vki
├── lib
│ ├── pkgconfig
│ └── valgrind
└── share
├── doc
│ └── valgrind
│ └── html
│ └── images
└── man
└── man1
I actually copied only five files from /bin dir to my target /usr/bin.
callgrind_annotate
callgrind_control
valgrind
valgrind-di-server
valgrind-listener
Question.
Do I need to copy the entire lib dir also?
I try to run the cross-compiled binary in host
usr:~/Desktop/ ./valgrind --version
/lib/ld-linux.so.3: No such file or directory
What I expected is it will complain like this Invalid ELF image for this architecture because I built it for the arm and running it on Linux it should complain like this but it doesn't.
Wondering about configuration flags and the ARCH?
As soon I posted the question in StackOverflow, I found the answer in five minutes.
Valgrind support is available from armv7.
Actaully my hardware doesn't support Valgrind, I just got confused by Amr7 and Armv7 both are not same. Its the same goes to ARM9E is not same as AMRv9. My bad.
I attached the arm architecture page for reference.
