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

Compiling
Any C++11 compiler should work. For compilers with partial C++11 support it may work. If
your compiler has the C++11 features that are available in Visual Studio 2010 then it
will work. If nullptr is not supported by your compiler then this can be emulated using
the header lib/cxx11emu.h.

To build the GUI, you need Qt.
When building the command line tool, PCRE is optional. It is used if you build with rules.
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
There are multiple compilation choices:
* qmake - cross platform build tool
2015-07-29 10:21:04 +02:00
* cmake - cross platform build tool
2011-03-06 10:18:50 +01:00
* Windows: Visual Studio
* Windows: Qt Creator + mingw
2010-02-23 18:26:09 +01:00
* gnu make
2015-07-29 10:21:04 +02:00
* g++ 4.6 (or later)
* clang++

qmake
=====
2010-12-15 18:45:53 +01:00
You can use the gui/gui.pro file to build the GUI.
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
cd gui
qmake
make
Visual Studio
=============
2015-11-01 10:29:44 +01:00
Use the cppcheck.sln file. The file is configured for Visual Studio 2015, but the platform
2015-07-29 10:21:04 +02:00
toolset can be changed easily to older or newer versions. The solution contains platform
targets for both x86 and x64.
2015-07-29 10:21:04 +02:00
To compile with rules, select "Release-PCRE" or "Debug-PCRE" configuration.
2015-11-01 10:29:44 +01:00
pcre.lib (pcre64.lib for x64 builds) and pcre.h are expected to be in /externals then.

Qt Creator + mingw
==================
The PCRE dll is needed to build the CLI. It can be downloaded here:
http://software-download.name/pcre-library-windows/
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
2010-02-23 18:26:09 +01:00
gnu make
========
Simple build (no dependencies):
make
2010-02-23 18:26:09 +01:00
The recommended release build is:
make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=cfg HAVE_RULES=yes
Flags:
SRCDIR=build : Python is used to optimise cppcheck
CFGDIR=cfg : Specify folder where .cfg files are found
HAVE_RULES=yes : Enable rules (pcre is required if this is used)
2013-01-12 14:05:03 +01:00
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
g++ (for experts)
=================
If you just want to build Cppcheck without dependencies then you can use this command:
2017-08-21 12:31:50 +02:00
g++ -o cppcheck -std=c++0x -include lib/cxx11emu.h -Iexternals/simplecpp -Iexternals/tinyxml -Ilib cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/simplecpp/simplecpp.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
If you want to use --rule and --rule-file then dependencies are needed:
2017-08-21 12:31:50 +02:00
g++ -o cppcheck -std=c++0x -include lib/cxx11emu.h -lpcre -DHAVE_RULES -Ilib -Iexternals/simplecpp -Iexternals/tinyxml cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/simplecpp/simplecpp.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
2013-01-12 14:05:03 +01:00
mingw
=====
2013-01-12 14:05:03 +01:00
The "LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi" is needed when building with mingw
mingw32-make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
other compilers/ide
===================
1. Create a empty project file / makefile.
2. Add all cpp files in the cppcheck cli and lib folders to the project file / makefile.
2017-08-21 12:31:50 +02:00
3. Add all cpp files in the externals folders to the project file / makefile.
4. Compile.
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
