You can find the source and information about it at {\small\url{https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack}}. +\index{valgrind!heaptrack} The best way to compile and run valgrind is to run the developer static build. This takes 2 steps and you must already have gdb and valgrind installed: diff --git a/parts/Installation.tex b/parts/Installation.tex index 6d5e612..d7fece7 100644 --- a/parts/Installation.tex +++ b/parts/Installation.tex @@ -632,6 +632,8 @@ git clean -i # interactive clean, use answer 1 to "clean" If you have a problem with the current GIT version, you can revert to a previous working version easily.
