Hi All,

I am trying mpatrol to debug memory leak for ur system. We are using FC5 as host to cross compile the target code which is powerpc processor.

I downloaded the mpatrol code and tried to compile the test1.c file located Under tutorial. The compile passed but link failed:

[howardw@hwang tutorial]$ ppc_82xx-g++ -L/usr/local/include test1.o -L/home/howardw/project/tools/memLeak/mPatrol/mpatrol/build/unix/ -lmpatrol -lbfd -liberty

test1.o: In function `main':

test1.o(.text+0x144): the `gets' function is dangerous and should not be used.

/home/howardw/project/tools/memLeak/mPatrol/mpatrol/build/unix//libmpatrol.so: undefined reference to `__mp_initsection'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

my questions are:

1. can mpatrol be used for powerpc based processor and cross compilation ?

2. if the answer is yes, what could be the causes for the above error ?

thanks for the help.

Howard
