valgrind for Android devices (Crystax). configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Using and adapting the script(https://gist.github.com/smits/27060b310546ca6f76568f24838118c3) I get and error " C compiler cannot create executables":

export LIBS="-lcrystax"

Can not run android app with valgrind

I create project Hello JNI and write state to test leak such as:
int* requieData = malloc(sizeof(int)*100);
This is my script build_valgrind.sh
I can run ./configure but does not any valgrind log can show.

My device armeabi-v7(show by android studio) but when I use this cript, device show:
Hello from JNI leak valgrind ! Compiled with ABI armeabi.
My question: Why output show armeabi? I think it is armeabi-v7.
And I can not see anylog about memory leak. What is wrong in the script?
Thank you so much.

I think the paths provided are wrong, if you are using windows then paths must be relative from cygwin, because they are with the forward slash (/) rather the backward () that is common in windows. So instead of adding path from C directory, go to cygwin and browse drives and go to the folder from there using cd command and at the directory of which you want path of type command pwd it will give you the exact path of that folder. Copy paste it here and done.

I am using ndk-r8e and valgrind 3.8.1. The configure ends with:
Maximum build arch: arm
Primary build arch: arm
Secondary build arch:
Build OS: linux
Primary build target: ARM_LINUX
Secondary build target:
Platform variant: vanilla
Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_arm_linux_vanilla=1
Default supp files: exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp
What can I do to fix this? Alternatively, are there any pre-built android-arm valgrind binaries that I can use?

For building and installing Valgrind for Android use the bash script below, which I prefer to call build_valgrind.sh
To run with RUN_HELLO_JNI_THROUGH_VALGRIND=true you need two additional scripts (bootstrap_valgrind.sh, start_valgrind.sh) in the directory you run the script below from.
Running the script with the RUN_HELLO_JNI_THROUGH_VALGRIND=true flag will build the hello-jni application from the samples directory inside the Android NDK HOME, deploy it to the phone and run it through Valgrind, using either callgrind or memcheck tool, which you can specify in the start_valgrind.sh script.
The other two scripts are described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113
Here's my directory structure:
|-- build_valgrind.sh (the script below)
|-- bootstrap_valgrind.sh (second script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113)
|-- start_valgrind.sh (first script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113)
|-- valgrind-3.10.0 (will be extracted by build_valgrind.sh)
`-- valgrind-3.10.0.tar.bz2 (will be downloaded by build_valgrind.sh)
I've tested that its working (memcheck and callgrind tools) on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus device with CyanogenMod 10.2.1 and Android 4.3.1 and CyanogenMod 11 20140804 snapshot, Android 4.4.4
You can see the file size of the generated output with: adb shell ls -lR "/sdcard/*grind*"

This gets valgrind to compile for me on linux. (using android-ndk-r8e and valgrind-3.8.1)
There was no need to run autogen.sh since I downloaded the tar ball from the website.
Also make sure the TOOLCHAIN= line points to a valid toolchain.
export NDK_HOME=$HOME/Downloads/android-ndk-r8e
export HWKIND=generic
export TOOLCHAIN=$NDK_HOME/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi
export AR=$TOOLCHAIN-ar
export LD=$TOOLCHAIN-ld
export CC=$TOOLCHAIN-gcc
CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" \
CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm" \
./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst \
--host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux \
--with-tmpdir=/sdcard
make
It eventually came up with a compile error saying
$NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/elf.h:58:3: error: unknown type name 'uint32_t'
It seem like someone forgot to add #include <stdint.h> somewhere. To fix this I edited $NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/elf.h and added #include <stdint.h> to the include section of this header. NOTE: This is probably not the best fix but it is the one that I came up with that fixed the compilation errors.
On mac I was able to get it to compile up until the unknown type uint32_t part by changing how the configure script checks the kernel version.
Inside the configure script search of a line kernel=`uname -r` and change it to kernel=3.9.2. (There are two kernel=`uname -r` lines replace the first one or both if you feel like it)
This stops the configure script from looking at the host kernel when deciding how it should build valgrind. (uname -r grabs the host kernel)
I believe adding the #include <stdint.h> to elf.h should work on mac to but I have not tested it.

in android tutorial one option is missed
RANLIB, after I set it - I finally compiled valgrind-3.11.0 on osx for android

The problem I had was that the configure script was ignoring the environment variables. To configure the make file I instead did this:
sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst --host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux --with-tmpdir=/sdcard0 CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm" CC=$CC LD=$LD AR=$AR
This ensures the variables are set properly and works with Linux Mint 13. It does not work on OSX Mountain Lion however. I'd advise anyone using OSX without access to a linux installation to try using linux on a virtual machine.

How to get android application name from apk file

How do I get the android application name from a apk file programatically outside an android environment? I have tried parsing androidmanifest.xml but it only shows the package name ( which may not be very informative at times)

If you are using Linux, this command will give you the application name:
aapt dump badging your.apk | sed -n "s/^application-label:'\(.*\)'/\1/p"
You'll have to install aapt first.

Can also be done with apktool.
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo ${0##*/} useage: ${0##*/} /path/to/your.apk; exit; fi
APKTOOL=$(which apktool apktool.sh | head -1); if [ -z "$APKTOOL" ]; then echo "Error: Could not locate apktool wrapper script."; exit; fi
TMPDIR="/tmp/apktool"
rm -Rf $TMPDIR
$APKTOOL d -q -f -s --force-manifest -o $TMPDIR $1
LABEL=$(cat $TMPDIR/res/values/strings.xml | grep 'string name="title"' | sed -e 's/.*">//' -e 's/<.*//')
rm -Rf $TMPDIR
echo ${LABEL}
