Feb 27, 2013 Yes, Valgrind can be run on the OS X 10.8 and 10.9. Not perfect but downloads and runs on Mavericks.I suspect Macports does not do it well but Homebrew is tolerant and able to install Valgrind provided there are no other instances of valgrind and other Installers e.g Macports & Fink. Homebrew’s package index.
本文是给想在Mojave上编译安装valgrind的人一个参考。
个人因为《Hands on concurrency with Rust》这本书的原因，需要安装valgrind。但是现在（2019/2/9）稳定版本的valgrind尚未支持Mojave，即不能通过Homebrew安装。valgrind的bug tracker里有这个问题的追踪， 但是看状态估计离正式发布还需要时间（开源项目常有的事情，缺少资源，哎）。对话中给了一个github上的commit，看起来可以使用。

Valgrind Mojave
2 4 6 8 10 | Primary build arch: amd64 Build OS: darwin Primary build target: AMD64_DARWIN Platform variant: vanilla Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_amd64_darwin_vanilla=1 Default supp files: exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp darwin10-drd.supp darwin18.supp |
假如Secondary build arch不像上面那样为空的话，比如是i386，那么make时会出现以上问题。
在 configure 文件中，valgrind的注释提到在MacOS下会同时编译i386和x86_64，这是问题的根本原因，或者说valgrind在Mojave下编译的坑。幸好 configure 提供了只编译64位的选项，不需要修改 configure 文件。
总结一下，你要做的是
Important Notes:- Using APFS is REQUIRED in Mojave in order to receive system updates via the normal Software Update method. If you choose to continue using macOS Extended (Journaled) as your filesystem type, you will NOT receive System Updates via System Preferences. If you are not using APFS, you can follow the 10.14.1 installation steps below.
- After applying ANY system update via Software Update, re-applying post-install patches using your Mojave Patcher installer volume will most likely be necessary. If you install a software update and the system fails to boot afterwards, this is what needs to be done.
10.14.6
10.14.6 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.2 or later after installing.
10.14.5
10.14.5 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.1 or later after installing.
10.14.4
10.14.4 adds new changes that ARE NOT patchable by the post-install tool of Mojave Patcher v1.2.3 and older! Before updating to 10.14.4, you you will need to use the latest Mojave Patcher version to create a new installer volume, using the 10.14.4 installer app. Then, update to 10.14.4, either by installing via Software Update, or by just using the installer volume you've created to install.
10.14.3
If you are currently running 10.14.1 or 10.14.2, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.3 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.
10.14.2
If you are currently running 10.14.1, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.2 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, or are using a non-AFPS volume, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.
10.14.1/macOS Extended (Journaled) volumes
The Mojave 10.14.1 update does NOT install properly on unsupported machines, and could result in an unbootable OS. If you want to install the 10.14.1 update (and are not currently running 10.14.1), perform the following steps:
• Download the latest version of Mojave Patcher
• Download the installer using the Tools menu of Mojave Patcher
• Create a patched USB installer
• Boot from that, and install 10.14.1 onto the volume containing an older release.
• Once done, apply the post-install patches, and you should now be on 10.14.1.
