I'm trying to install Valgrind but after cd to the directory of the source, every time I try to use ./configure I get that "." is not recognized an internal or external command..

Can anyone help?

Edit: The question here is different than that asking about other substitute for Valgrind, my question was specific to how to write the commands on cmd!!

/ is the switch character. . Can be several things. Change to .\configure. However .\configure is the exact same as configure.

Windows will try and make sense of WRONG paths. But as commands get more complicated it assumes you are doing it right.

. (win.ini) the LAST dot in a file path separates the name from extension

. (dir .\*.txt) the current directory
  • But do you think that Valgrind can be used on windows in the first place? The more I research about it the more Im convinced that it is not – Peter Oct 21 '16 at 07:12

After some research, I'm convinced that it is not designed for Windows platform. There are some others do the same for Windows as well...

  • You could tell _what_ other tools are there for Windows. I know some commercial solutions but I am interested if you found a free tool, preferably as easy and useful as Valgrind. – Melebius Oct 24 '16 at 08:44
