cppcheck

History

Kimmo Varis 1fcc116cb9 Add VS runtimes to the Windows installer. cppcheck requires VS 9 runtimefiles to run. Those runtimes are installed by many programs and it is probable lots of people already have them. But still there are users without those files. And for them it is non-trivial task to get cppcheck to run. So better just include runtimes for everybody.		2009-05-08 22:57:24 +03:00

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

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 folder
/win_installer/output. The filename is cppcheck-[version]-setup.exe.
