===========================
This is quick start to get you started with compiling Cppcheck for 64-bit
Windows. This is work in progress so these instructions will be updated as we

Windows with free VS Express editions. This is work in progress so these
instructions will be updated as we progress with the work...
Software needed:
- Visual Studio 2010 Express (Free download from MS) or VS 2010 Pro
- latest Windows SDK (currently v 7.1) if compiling with VS Express
- Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 Express edition
- Windows SDK 7.0 (for VS2008) or Windows SDK 7.1 (for VS2010)

With VS Express:
Make sure you have the Windows SDK installed! VS Express doesn't install 64-bit
Make sure you have the Windows SDK installed! VS Express doesn't have 64-bit
tools, libraries or headers so you cannot compile 64-bit binaries without
Windows SDK.

Then start VS Express:

VS Express starts otherwise normally but now all environment variables point to
64-bit folders for libraries.
Now you can open the cppcheck_vs2010.sln solution file and compile 64-bit
targets. Remember that you cannot compile 32-bit targets from this VS intance!
With VS Pro (and other commercial editions) you can just open the
cppcheck_vs2010.sln solution file and compile 64-bit targets.
Now you can open the cppcheck.sln (or cppcheck_vs2010.sln) solution file and
compile 64-bit targets. With VS 2008 there are configurations Debug-x64 and
Release-x64 for 64-bit targets. This is because VS 2008 express does not allow
adding new platform. For VS 2010 there is platform x64 and Debug/Release
configurations.
You can use e.g. Dependency Walker -program (http://www.dependencywalker.com/)
to check that build binaries are really 64-bit binaries.
