Valgrind on the Lyle Linux Servers

Connecting to the Lyle Servers

For Windows Folks

• Download PuTTY
• Install PuTTY
• Execute PuTTY
• In the Connect dialog, use genuse50.lyle.smu.edu as the host name. Make sure the SSH radio button is selected below the hostname field.

For Mac Folks

• Open a Terminal
• type ssh <username>@genuse50.lyle.smu.edu where <username> is replaced with whatever comes before the @ sign in your SMU Email address.
• Use your regular SMU password (whatever you use for my.smu or webmail).

Clone the Repo of Interest

• Log into github and get the URI to the repo you want to test with Valgrind.
• Once logged in to the Lyle servers, clone that repo using git clone <URI> where <URI> is the repo link you get from github.
• Use cd to change into the project directory.
• Create a build folder for your project, run cmake, then make.
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake3 ..
  • make
• Once the project successfully builds, run Valgrind with the executable.
  • Example: valgrind ./my_project_executable
  • Of course, substitute the name of your executable for my_project_executable.
