Compiling
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
Any C++ compiler should work.
To build the GUI, you need Qt.
To build the command line tool, no dependencies are required. However for
the handling of rules, PCRE is needed.
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
There are multiple compilation choices:
* qmake - 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
* g++
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
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
=============
2011-03-06 10:18:50 +01:00
Use the cppcheck.sln file. The pcre dll is needed, it can be downloaded from:
http://cppcheck.sf.net/pcre-8.10-vs.zip
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
========
2011-03-06 10:18:50 +01:00
To build Cppcheck with rules (pcre dependency):
make
To build Cppcheck without rules (no dependencies):
make CXXFLAGS="-O2"
2010-02-23 18:26:09 +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:
g++ -o cppcheck -Ilib cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp
If you want to use --rule and --rule-file then dependencies are needed:
g++ -o cppcheck -lpcre -DHAVE_RULES -Ilib -Iexternals cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
mingw
=====
make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi
2010-02-19 17:34:50 +01:00
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
