About
The original name of this program is "C++check" but it was later changed to "cppcheck".
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.
To build the command line tool, PCRE is needed. More information about PCRE is found in
build.txt
There are multiple compilation choices:
* qmake - cross platform build tool
* Visual Studio - Windows
* 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.
gnu make
========
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_DEPENDENCIES -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"
