Valgrid v3.12 won't compile [duplicate] - c

I'm trying to install Valgrind on a Mac with Snow Leopard but am getting an error. This is what I'm typing into Terminal.
$ curl -O http://valgrind.org/downloads/valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
$ md5sum valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjvf valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
$ cd valgrind-3.8.1
$ ./configure
$ make
This is the error I get.
Making all in coregrind
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/mach/mach_vm.defs', needed by `m_mach/mach_vmUser.c'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
How can I correct this error?

Make sure to install the command line tools.
xcode-select --install

The best way to get valgrind compiled properly is to use the 'xcode-select --install' command as mentioned in the above answer.
However, as sub-optimal hack, you can get it compiled by downloading the following files from OSX /mach source into /usr/include/mach (create this directory):
mach_vm.defs
task.defs
thread_act.defs
vm_map.defs
It's a slightly dirty hack, but it should get you going if you really don't want to download/install the large Xcode original files.

Apparently, to compile on a Macintosh, valgrind needs the file /usr/include/mach/mach_vm.defs to be present. While I haven't been able to find specific references to mach_vm.defs being part of XCode specifically, it seems that most of the usual contents of /usr/include/mach are installed when XCode is.
If for some reason you can't install XCode on your machine, you can get most of the source files for that particular directory from this part of apple's open source website.

Ever since the System Integrity Protection system was put in place on OSX, the user, not even as root, can modify /usr. Thus, modifying /usr/include/mach to add the necessary files becomes impossible. The only alternative is now to edit the makefile itself.
The Makefile at hand should be located at coregrind/Makefile, and the mach files should be located near /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/ (replace MacOSX10.12.sdk with the appropriate version of OSX).
There should be a symbol named am__append_17 defined around line 160 or so (might be elsewhere for different versions).
It should look something like this:
am__append_17 = \
/usr/include/mach/mach_vm.defs \
/usr/include/mach/task.defs \
/usr/include/mach/thread_act.defs \
/usr/include/mach/vm_map.defs
Replace each instance of /usr/include with /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/, so that it looks like:
am__append_17 = \
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/mach/mach_vm.defs \
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/mach/task.defs \
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/mach/thread_act.defs \
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/mach/vm_map.defs
After this, valgrind should compile properly

Unexpected End of File

I download iasl 20190509 version in Ubunt18.04.5 LTS.
When I use "make iasl" command to build the package, I get this error:
$ make iasl
make[1]: Entering directory 'acpica-unix2-20190509/generate/unix/iasl'

acpica-unix2-20190509/generate/unix/iasl/obj/aslcompiler.y:1.1: error: syntax error, unexpected end of file

make[1]: Leaving directory 'acpica-unix2-20190509/generate/unix/iasl'
generate/unix/Makefile.common:7: recipe for target 'iasl' failed
make: *** [iasl] Error 2
Please help me fix this error.
Please help me build iasl.
The solution was to retry the make but making sure that the build directory is clean first:
$ make clean && make
Here's my best guess as to what happened:
An attempt was made to build the software package.
That attempt failed because the m4 tool had not previously been installed.
OP installed m4, and reran the build with make.
Because of an inadequacy in the provided Makefile, make did not attempt to run m4 again. (See below.) Consequently, processing of the file supposedly generated by m4 failed.
This software package relies on m4 to create the source for bison by interpolating various component files. (Yacc/Bison doesn't have an include feature, so m4 is the usual solution.) However, the command to run m4 is roughly (with paths simplified):
$ m4 aslparser.y > aslcompiler.y
When the shell executes this command, it creates or truncates aslcompiler.y
before even attempting to invoke m4. If it turns out that m4 can't be found, or if m4 produces some sort of error, you end up with an empty or partial output file.
The make target aslcompiler.y is satisfied by this artefact, since make only cares that the target was created later than its dependencies. So the next invocation of make goes on to the next step (bison aslcompiler.y), which fails because aslcompiler.y is empty.
The Makefile would have been better written to use a command like:
$ m4 aslparser.y > /tmp/aslcompiler.y && mv /tmp/aslcompiler.y aslcompiler.y
in order to avoid creating the target if m4 failed. Of course, that's not your responsibility. It could be reported as a bug to the iASL project. (The Makefile already uses this strategy to safely handle the files generated by Bison, so it's not really anything new.)

Running a 32-bit C code on a 64-bit system with Windows and a C compiler

I am trying to run a c code on my Windows laptop using the 64-bit MinGW compiler. There are a few lines in the beginning of the code that direct to other files such as:
#include <openssl/e_os2.h>
When compiling the code the following error shows up:
C:\MinGW\bin\openssl\apps>gcc s_server.c
s_server.c:21:27: fatal error: openssl/e_os2.h: No such file or directory
#include <openssl/e_os2.h>
^
compilation terminated.
I made sure the files were in the correct locations, however the error still occurs. I am thinking the error occurs because I am running a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system. Are there any ways to work around this issue given that I don't have a Linux system?
C:\MinGW\bin\openssl\apps>gcc s_server.c
s_server.c:21:27: fatal error: openssl/e_os2.h: No such file or directory
#include <openssl/e_os2.h>
^
compilation terminated.
I believe you need a -I argument during compile. The headers are not located in the apps/ directory. Instead, they are located at ../include/ (relative to apps/).
So maybe a compile command like:
# from apps/ directory
gcc -I ../include/ s_server.c
You will probably have additional problems because you need to link against libssl and libcrypto. Be aware you will still have work to do.
Here is what it looks like on Linux:
openssl$ find . -name e_os2.h
./include/openssl/e_os2.h
openssl$ cd apps
apps$ ls ../include/openssl/e_os2.h
../include/openssl/e_os2.h
Since the relative path is ../include/openssl/e_os2.h and the source file #include "openssl/e_os2.h", you only need to include ../include using -I.
I am running a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system...
You need to build OpenSSL as 32-bit. Run ./Configure LIST to get a list of MinGW targets. Then, configure with the appropriate triplet.
You may need to add -m32 to the command line for your program.

Change PATH for LIBS

I have recently been trying to compile dropbear for 64bit arch android devices. I got the program to compile and run, but when I log in to the server it kicks me off with an error.
I configured & compiled like so:
cp ../config.guess ../config.sub .
./configure --build=x86_64-windows --host=arm-linux-androideabi \
--disable-zlib --disable-largefile --disable-loginfunc \
--disable-shadow --disable-utmp --disable-utmpx --disable-wtmp \
--disable-wtmpx --disable-pututline --disable-pututxline --disable-lastlog \
CFLAGS='-Os -W -Wall -fPIE' LDFLAGS='-fPIE -pie'
make dropbear
The error:
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: "/system/lib/libc++.so" is 32-bit instead of 64-bit
page record for 0x7f800b8010 was not found (block_size=32)
I believe the error is caused by dropbear linking sh and other executables to the library in wrong location.
The device has two locations for libc++
#1 /system/lib/libc++.so
#2 /system/lib64/libc++.so
How can I tell/force the compiled binary to use the lib(s) in
/sytem/lib64
If giving an example please show me exactly what needs to be added, so I can apply the information correctly. I'm almost sure the fix is simple but I'm not a programmer. I do this stuff when I'm desperate.
Turns out there was a hard link in srv-chansession.c that needed to be modified
From:
addnewvar("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "/system/lib");
To:
addnewvar("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "/system/lib64");
It may actually be better to comment out that line and let androids linkers take care of it.
Now I have working a working dropbear ssh server on my 64 bit android device.

Msys make in Powershell - No such file or directory

I installed the base package to compile C++ with MinGW Installer GUI and CMake. I created a simple file .c with hello world, and can use cmake . -G"MSYS Makefiles" normally. I added E:\Programmation\MinGW\bin and E:\Programmation\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin to my path.
Here is my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.3)
project (Prototype)
set (EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH bin/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})
file (
GLOB_RECURSE
source_files
src/*
)
add_executable (
my_exe
${source_files}
)
Once the makefile is created however, when I use make I'll get the following error:
/bin/sh:/e/Users/MyName/Documents/GitHub/ProjectName/prototype/c/E:/Programmation/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe: No such file or directory
make.exe": *** [all] Error 127
I can compile the file main.c just fine with gcc main.c and the exe it produces works, so the problem is with the make.exe.
If I use it in the msys.bat shell, located in E:\Programmation\MinGW\msys\1.0, it works as it should. So my guess is that the problem is with Powershell and the path. I'm thinking maybe it's because of the way hard drives are designated, since in the error I get it calls my E:\ disk /e/ first then E:/. When I work in msys.bat I have to write it this way: /e/Users/MyName...
This is PEBKAC. The problem is not with make.exe, but rather, in the way you are attempting to misuse it.
How many times must I say this? Using MSYS make.exe, (or indeed any of the MSYS tools), in any environment other that the MSYS shell, which is started by running msys.bat, is definitively unsupported by the MSYS Project maintainers.
Since you say you problem goes away, when you use make.exe as you are supposed to, (in the MSYS shell, invoked by running msys.bat), this is your problem, and your problem alone. It apparently does not work, when you attempt to use it improperly, (i.e. from PowerShell): that's tough luck; when you break free software, by misusing it, you get to keep all the pieces.
Contrary to the accepted answer, it is actually possible to do this using PowerShell:
sh.exe -c "cd ""$pathToMake""; make"
Make sure you sanitise backslashes for the shell before the call above.
$pathToMake = $pathToMake -replace "\\", "/"
Also the MSYS bin has to be in your path, which would typically look like this (your path maybe different):
$env:Path = "C:\GNUstep\msys\1.0\bin;$($env:Path)"

Compiling C code with external library references

I am on RHEL 6.0 and got hold of the source code for join command(hopefully from the right source!!). I rarely work on a C code and hence finding this difficult. I am trying to compile and run the C code for join, but running into compile time errors.
g++ join.c
join.c:19:20: error: config.h: No such file or directory
join.c:25:20: error: system.h: No such file or directory
join.c:27:25: error: hard-locale.h: No such file or directory
join.c:28:24: error: linebuffer.h: No such file or directory
join.c:29:24: error: memcasecmp.h: No such file or directory
join.c:30:19: error: quote.h: No such file or directory
join.c:31:21: error: stdio--.h: No such file or directory
join.c:32:22: error: xmemcoll.h: No such file or directory
join.c:33:21: error: xstrtol.h: No such file or directory
join.c:34:22: error: argmatch.h: No such file or directory
Since I am not aware of where to find these libraries(I did google for each one and they are spread all over different websites), can anyone please guide me as to how I can link these libraries together and compile the source code of join command?
This is not a linking problem as you suggest. Instead, you get these errors because g++ can't find these files: config.h, system.h, ..., that are #included (indirectly) by join.c.
What you could do is find these files on your system, and then add as many -I<directory> options behind the g++ as there were directories you found these files in. Do man g++ for more info.
You'll also need to find the where the libraries are you need to link against. So you'll need to specify more than -I's.
On the other hand, aren't there 'configure' or other package files? Normally you don't have to specify compiler flags (like this -I) by hand. Instead, it's common that for example Makefile's are generated from such a configuration file, after which you just have to type make.
I advise you to get someone that has done this before, because you don't seem to understand the basics of C program compilation. This can cost you a lot of your precious time without results. But good luck anyway!
Perhaps you don't have everything in place to compile your code. Try installing the build-essential package.
sudo yum install build-essential
On a relevant note, I'm not aware of the script join.c but if you are looking for a way to concatenate a bunch of files together, you can do cat FILE1 FILE2 FILE3 > BIG_FILE where FILE1 FILE2 FILE3 are the files you want to join them. Under RHEL 6.0, you can use asterisks too, if there is a pattern. For example, cat FILE.00* > BIG_FILE
