Bug 53967 – gstreamer 0.8.1 does not compile because of valgrind (valgrind_printf and valgrind_malloc_like macros not defined)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description davi 2004-06-15 04:37:30 UTC]

When I try to emerge gstreamer 0.81 I get the following error:

gcc -march=pentium4 -pipe -O2 -o .libs/spidertest spidertest-spidertest.o -pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic  ../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so /usr/lib/libxml2.so -lz -lm /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so -lpthread /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/libpopt.so
../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so: undefined reference to `VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK'
../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so: undefined reference to `VALGRIND_PRINTF'
../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so: undefined reference to `VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I do have valgrind installed:
bash-2.05b# epm -q valgrind
valgrind-2.0.0

But I can't find the VALGRIND_PRINTF & friends definition in the /usr/include/valgrind/valgrind.h header.

Gstreamer's configure script does not have an option to directly disable valgrind support, but if you look inside configure.ac you can find
USE_VALGRIND="$USE_DEBUG". Therefore, disabling debug (--disable-debug) solves the problem.





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gstreamer
2.
3.

Patch to fix gstreamer-0.8.1 ebuild by disabling debug

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 15:16:32 UTC]

i'll check it when updating.. 

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-06-29 09:24:44 UTC]

added a debug USE flag to gstreamer-0.8.2 to give the choice. That should take care of this for now.

[Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) 2004-06-29 10:46:29 UTC]

reverted that change after a little talk with the gstreamer devs who say it's not wise to disable debug by default.

[Comment 5 Benjamin Otte 2004-06-29 12:20:24 UTC]

This looks like a bug with your valgrind. GStreamer detects the availability of valgrind headers via pkgconfig. And the pkgconfig support for valgrind is younger than those macros, so you can't have a too old valgrind version.

fyi, VALGRIND_PRINTF is part of valgrind.h, the other macros are part of memcheck.h

[Comment 6 davi 2004-06-30 18:46:50 UTC]

It is actually a problem with my valgrind version, but mine is the version from the portage tree. VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK and VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK are in the memcheck.h header, but VALGRIND_PRINTF simply doesn't exist:

bash-2.05b$ tar xjf /usr/portage/distfiles/valgrind-2.0.0.tar.bz2
bash-2.05b$ cd valgrind-2.0.0/
bash-2.05b$ grep -r VALGRIND_PRINTF *
bash-2.05b$

Although it does exist in valgrind-2.1.1.tar.bz2 (unstable version), which is not in portage yet.

[Comment 7 Benjamin Otte 2004-07-01 03:18:23 UTC]

You are right.
2.0.0 in fact does not include VALGRIND_PRINTF. The GStreamer configure script should probably check for valgrind >= 2.1.

I'll fix that upstream tonight. Fixing the ebuild configure is probably up to foser :)

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2004-08-11 04:27:08 UTC]

umm yeah..got a bit stuffed with other things. I guess this is already fixed now in newer versions.. still need to check though.

[Comment 9 foser (RETIRED) 2004-08-18 03:34:32 UTC]

checked, all good now, thnx
