## Compiling ##
## Compiling
Any C++ compiler should work.
To build the GUI, you need Qt.
When building the command line tool, PCRE is normally used.
When building the command line tool, [PCRE](http://www.pcre.org/) is normally used.
PCRE is optional.
There are multiple compilation choices:
* qmake - cross platform build tool
* Windows: Visual Studio
* Windows: Qt Creator + mingw
* Windows: Visual Studio or Qt Creator or MinGW
* gnu make
* g++
### qmake ###
### qmake
You can use the gui/gui.pro file to build the GUI.
cd gui
qmake
make
```
cd gui
qmake
make
```
### Visual Studio ###
### Visual Studio
Use the cppcheck.sln file. The rules are normally enabled.
To compile with rules (pcre dependency):
* the pcre dll is needed. it can be downloaded from: http://cppcheck.sf.net/pcre-8.10-vs.zip
To compile with rules (PCRE dependency):
* the PCRE dll is needed. It can be downloaded from [here](http://cppcheck.sf.net/pcre-8.10-vs.zip).
To compile without rules (no dependencies):
* remove the preprocessor define HAVE_RULES from the project
* remove the preprocessor define `HAVE_RULES` from the project
* remove the pcre.lib from the project
### Qt Creator + mingw ###
### Qt Creator + MinGW
The PCRE dll is needed to build the CLI. It can be downloaded here:
http://software-download.name/pcre-library-windows/
### gnu make ###
### gnu make
To build Cppcheck with rules (pcre dependency):
To build Cppcheck with rules (PCRE dependency):
make HAVE_RULES=yes
```
make HAVE_RULES=yes
```
To build Cppcheck without rules (no dependencies):
make
```
make
```
### g++ (for experts) ###
### 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
```
g++ -o cppcheck -Ilib cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp
```
If you want to use --rule and --rule-file then dependencies are needed:
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
```
g++ -o cppcheck -lpcre -DHAVE_RULES -Ilib -Iexternals cli/*.cpp lib/*.cpp externals/tinyxml/*.cpp
```
### mingw ###
### MinGW
make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi
```
make LDFLAGS=-lshlwapi
```

### Cross compiling Win32 (CLI) version of Cppcheck in Linux
