About

  The original name of this program is "C++check".
  The name was changed to "cppcheck".


Compiling

  Any C++ compiler should work.

  The Makefile works under Linux.
  To make it work under Windows with DJGPP, change "g++" to "gxx".

  To build cppcheck with qmake, run these commands:
  
   Generate Makefile (use 'debug' instead of 'release' if doing developer build)
   (If you are using Mac OS, you need to add "-spec macx-g++" to the command):
     qmake -config release
    
   Build command-line tool, GUI and autotests:
     make

   To build command-line tool only:
     make sub-src 
    
   To build and run autotests:
     make check

Cross compiling Win32 (CLI) version of Cppcheck in Linux

  sudo apt-get install mingw32
  make CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-g++ LDFLAGS="-lshlwapi"
  mv cppcheck cppcheck.exe

Usage

  Run the cppcheck program without parameters and a help text will be shown.


Recommendations

  When the "--all" flag is given you may get a lot of error messages.
