About
The original name of this program is "C++check" but it was later changed to "cppcheck".
Compiling
Any C++ compiler should work.
To build the GUI, you need Qt. The command line tool doesn't have any dependencies.
There are multiple compilation choices:
* SCons - cross platform build tool
* CMake - cross platform build tool
* qmake - cross platform build tool - but only the GUI can be built
* Visual Studio - Windows
* g++ (for experts)
Scons
=====
Scons is a multi platform build tool. Python is required to run it.

g++ (for experts)
