using cross-compiled Valgrind
I have downloaded the sources from the Valgrind trunk and built it for using on an embedded Linux system(Montavista Linux) powered by an ARM926(ARMv5t architecture). Everything went well until I tried to run it to check some application I've made; Valgrind tells me:
"valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'arm-linux': No such file or directory".
Trying to run any other tool gives the same message.
For make install I used the --prefix option pointing to the embedded system's filesystem which is mounted through NFS(e.g. --prefix=/home/NFS_mounted/opt/valgrind). I checked the installation location and the lib directory there contains the proper tools; I also checked the corresponding pkgconfig file for Valgrind and it seems to be OK so I'm kind of clueless right now and can't figure out what's going wrong. 2 questions:
- Is it correct to use/install a cross-compiled Valgrind like that? Maybe I'm doing something wrong regarding the setup, or maybe there is something involving the host system that I'm missing(gdb/gdbserver like).
- Has anyone tried running it on ARM architectures? I'm aware that the support is fairly recent so I'm wondering if I could get decent results.

export VALGRIND_LIB=~/valgrind/lib/valgrind/
where ./valgrind is installed directory path (given in ./configure)

You should be able to confirm this by creating a symlink /home/NFS_mounted on your target that points to '/'.

How does it look for that path? The pkgconfig contains the correct target path so from where does it try to take it?

I think it's compiled in. The ./configure script generates a config.h header file, which should contain the prefix path.

Put in VALGRIND_LIB the parent directory of amd64-linux directory.
E.g.:
export VALGRIND_LIB=/u/gallinar/downloaded/valgrind-3.2.3/.in_place
