Hello I'm trying to build valgrind for android-arm. On Linux Mint 13 it fails with:

$ make
echo "# This is a generated file, composed of the following suppression rules:" > default.supp
echo "# " exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp  >> default.supp

I am using ndk-r8e and valgrind 3.8.1. The configure ends with:

     Maximum build arch: arm
     Primary build arch: arm
   Secondary build arch: 
               Build OS: linux
   Primary build target: ARM_LINUX
 Secondary build target: 
       Platform variant: vanilla
  Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_arm_linux_vanilla=1
     Default supp files: exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp

What can I do to fix this? Alternatively, are there any pre-built android-arm valgrind binaries that I can use?

For building and installing Valgrind for Android use the bash script below, which I prefer to call build_valgrind.sh

To run with RUN_HELLO_JNI_THROUGH_VALGRIND=true you need two additional scripts (bootstrap_valgrind.sh, start_valgrind.sh) in the directory you run the script below from.

Running the script with the RUN_HELLO_JNI_THROUGH_VALGRIND=true flag will build the hello-jni application from the samples directory inside the Android NDK HOME, deploy it to the phone and run it through Valgrind, using either callgrind or memcheck tool, which you can specify in the start_valgrind.sh script.

The other two scripts are described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113

Here's my directory structure:

|-- build_valgrind.sh (the script below)
|-- bootstrap_valgrind.sh (second script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113)
|-- start_valgrind.sh (first script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113)
|-- valgrind-3.10.0 (will be extracted by build_valgrind.sh)
`-- valgrind-3.10.0.tar.bz2 (will be downloaded by build_valgrind.sh)

I've tested that its working (memcheck and callgrind tools) on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus device with CyanogenMod 10.2.1 and Android 4.3.1 and CyanogenMod 11 20140804 snapshot, Android 4.4.4

You can see the file size of the generated output with: adb shell ls -lR "/sdcard/*grind*"

The build_valgrind.sh script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#set -x 

function extract()
{
     if [ -f "$1" ] ; then
         case "$1" in

             *.tar.gz)    tar xvzf "$1"     ;;
