## About the name
|
|
|
|
The original name of this program was "C++check", but it was later changed to "Cppcheck".
|
|
|
|
Despite the name, Cppcheck is designed for both C and C++.
|
|
|
|
## Manual
|
|
|
|
A manual is available [online](http://cppcheck.sf.net/manual.pdf).
|
|
|
|
## Compiling
|
|
|
|
Any C++ compiler should work.
|
|
|
|
To build the GUI, you need Qt.
|
|
|
|
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 or Qt Creator or MinGW
|
|
* gnu make
|
|
* g++
|
|
|
|
### qmake
|
|
|
|
You can use the gui/gui.pro file to build the GUI.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd gui
|
|
qmake
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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 [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 pcre.lib from the project
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
|
|
To build Cppcheck with rules (PCRE dependency):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make HAVE_RULES=yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build Cppcheck without rules (no dependencies):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
