Homebrew-core: Valgrind fails to compile Sierra 10.12.6

[hasahmed]

Please note we will close your issue without comment if you delete, do not read or do not fill out the issue checklist below and provide ALL the requested information. If you repeatedly fail to use the issue template, we will block you from ever submitting issues to Homebrew again.

Please always follow these steps:

• [x] Confirmed this is a problem with brew installing one, specific Homebrew/homebrew-core formula (not cask or tap) and not every time you run brew? If it's a general brew problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new. If it's a brew cask problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/caskroom/homebrew-cask/new. If it's a tap (e.g. Homebrew/homebrew-php) problem please file this issue at the tap.
• [x] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [x] Ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and retried your prior step?
• [x] Ran brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?
• [x] If brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

To help us debug your issue please explain:

• What you were trying to do (and why)
  Trying to install valgrind to inspect c++ memory usage/leaks
• What happened (include command output)
  The command failed. Here is the output
  Updating Homebrew... valgrind: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS versions newer than El Capitan due to an upstream incompatibility. Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
• What you expected to happen
  Expected valgrind to install and be usable

• Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)
  brew install valgrind

• brew gist-logs did not work. Here is the output to brew config

• Here is the output to brew doctor

Your system is ready to brew.

What is the output of:

git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) status

[fxcoudert]

The error message given is not entirely accurate:

valgrind: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS versions newer than El Capitan due to an upstream incompatibility.

It should say “newer than Sierra”, because valgrind does not yet support High Sierra: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383811 That's actually what it does on a fresh Homebrew install.

[fxcoudert]

Closing for now, please add information requested. It appears that your Homebrew repo is at an old version. Try to brew update, possibly reinstall.

[hasahmed]

here is the output of git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) status

On branch snake
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

[fxcoudert]

@hasahmed you are on a branch, not on homebrew-core's latest version.

Please run: git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout master
Then brew update. This should fix your problem.

[hasahmed]

@fxcoudert It did indeed. Thank you.

[alejoamiras]

Are we too far from having it on macOS high sierra ? This sucks 😢.

[hasahmed]

Any updates on having valgrind on High Sierra?

[ilovezfs]

Feel free to test brew install --HEAD valgrind and let us know how it goes.

[hasahmed]

Yeah I tried it. No luck

[ilovezfs]

Then you'll want to let upstream know about that. There's nothing we can do.

[alebcay]

Valgrind head builds for me on High Sierra now. See build output here.

Valgrind head also builds for me on High Sierra. Thank you!

[hasahmed]

still no luck for me. it won't even clone.

[hasahmed]

Scratch that. All good with --HEAD

[rodrigorandel]

I am not able to build it using --HEAD on macOS 10.13.4 and Clang 9.1 build 902. It fails on the _make_. Here is the log file.

[GasimGasimzada]

I know this is not a Homebrew solution but if you go to include/vki/vki_darwin.h and add the following:

https://gist.github.com/renesugar/cf87a9107ad73b40b8487c7c226f5084

make will work. I manually installed it using http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.readme.html

[rodrigorandel]

Great! Thank you @GasimGasimzada, it worked!

[xiaohk]

I can build valgrind with HEAD, but it gives this error:

valgrind: tool 'memcheck' not installed (/usr/local/lib/valgrind/memcheck-amd64-darwin) (No such file or directory)

Anyone having the same issue?
