Windows installer for the cppcheck
----------------------------------
Simple Windows installer installing executable, license file and readme.txt to
program files/cppcheck folder.
Shortcuts are created to start cmd.exe in installation folder. So when the user
selects start menu/desktop icon he gets command prompt in cppcheck folder.
Get the InnoSetup from:
http://www.innosetup.com/
Be sure to download the 'QuickStart Pack' as it installs some nice tools
like ISTool and preprocessor support.
Files the installer needs:
/Release/cppcheck.exe
/COPYING
/readme.txt
/AUTHORS
NOTE: Remember to convert COPYING and AUTHORS to Windows EOL format! Otherwise
Windows Notepad (default viewer) can't show then properly.
VS Runtime files:
Copy following files to same folder:
- Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
- msvcp90.dll
- msvcr90.dll
and modify RuntimesFolder -macro in begin of cppcheck.iss to point to the
folder where files are. You can find runtime files from VS installation or from
net.
Creating the installer executable:
#1 Open the ISTool and load cppcheck.iss
#2 Update the release version number:
- look for line "#define AppVersion"
#3 Check all files are present:
- from menu: Project / Verify files...
#4 Compile the installer
- from menu: Project / Compile Setup
If compilation succeeds, the installer executable is created into /Build
-folder. The filename is cppcheck-[version]-setup.exe.
