# Adding Valgrind To Build

Valgrind is provided under `meta/recipes-devtools/valgrind`. As of Nov 2017, Valgrind v3.12.0 is supported. Valgrind can be added to your Yocto image by adding the following line of code to your `build/conf/local.conf` file:

```
IMAGE_INSTALL += " valgrind"
```

Choose an image, for example, `core-image-minimal` 

Re-Compile Image 

```
#compile your source code ..
$ time bitbake <Your Image-Name>
```
