Can't compile on my Linux Live Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit

[cesaraugust...@richmond.edu]

Good evening.

I am facing some problems compiling my Sinper Sim on my personal Ubuntu.

First modification that I did (because was not finding the "cc_used_ia32_l.CVH") was editing the "include" field at pinversion.cc to use the full pin_kit folder (../pin_kit/source/include/pin/gen/cc_used_ia32_l.CVH).

But then, the last problem that I got, and I haven't found any solution so far is:

--------

Makefile.27: /home/ubuntu/sniper/sift/recorder/../../pin_kit/source/tools/makefile.gnu.config: No such file or directory

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/ubuntu/sniper/sift/recorder/../../pin_kit/source/tools/makefile.gnu.config'. Stop.

make[1]: *** [recorder] Error 2

make: *** [/home/ubuntu/sniper/sift/libsift.a] Error 2

-------- 

Any ideas of what should it be? Or what could I do?

One more information: I am using gcc 4.6.3, Pin 2.12 and libboost and g++-4.4 are both installed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I suspect you're using the very latest version of Pin, revision 56759?
This release changed the build infrastructure for Pin tools, we
haven't yet made the necessary changes in Sniper. Please try using one
Pin version older (rev 55942 dated December 2012).

Regards,
Wim

I encountered the same problem.
But, where can we download pin rev 55942 for linux?

Available versions from http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/pintool-downloads
are:

58423	Apr 11, 2013	gcc 3.4 and later		Manual	Release Notes	Xed
56759	Jan 20, 2013	gcc 3.4 and later		Manual	Release Notes	Xed
49306	Apr 11, 2012	gcc 3.4 and later		Manual	Release Notes	Xed
45467	Nov 28, 2011	gcc 3.4 and later		Manual	Release Notes	Xed

If I use 58423 or 56759, I will have this problem.
If I use 49306, it says, a higher version is required.

How should we deal with this problem?

[Wim Heirman]

Dawei,

You can download a working Pin version directly from [1]. We'll add support for the newest Pin version in the upcoming Sniper release.

Regards,

Wim

Same error with Pin's newest version but worked perfectly with version 55942. Thanks.

[Daniel Hofman]

Do you know when we will be able to use pin 58423 with sniper?

[Trevor Carlson]

Daniel,

    Sorry about that, I should have posted this patch earlier. The attached patch applies to Sniper 5.0 and when applied requires a minimum Pin version of 58423. This patch will also be contained in the Sniper 5.1 release.

Please tell us if you run into any problems,
Trevor

Thank you Trevor, it's working great.

Hi
I just started compiling/using the sniper. So It can not be compiled without the pintool?
If no, then is it the correct link to dl the pintool?
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/pintool-downloads

Can you guide me on how to apply the above patch to pintool?

Thanks

[Trevor Carlson]

Yasaman,

     Did you follow the getting started directions from [1]? Sniper is, in many cases, a large pintool that runs inside of Pin, and that means that Pin is a requirement to compile and run Sniper.

     Sniper 5.1 no longer requires this patch for Pin 58423. I would recommend starting with 58423 especially if you are running 32-bit applications. We've noticed that the newest Pin version (61206) has problems with 32-bit code on newer 64-bit machines.
