make fails while installing Valgrind

Question

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/do         


        

Answer 1

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.
