cppcheck 关于 linux 设置问题

Question

I downloaded the zip file from https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/tree/1.77 , unzipped it and gave a make command which generated cppcheck binary.

Next when I run the cppcheck on a test code no error is generated.

sles12-box:/home/test/cppchecker_test/cppcheck-1.77 # cppcheck /home/demo_code/test_code.c 
Checking /home/demo_code/test_code.c ...

The source code is

sles12-box:/home/test/cppchecker_test/cppcheck-1.77 # vi  /home/demo_code/test_code.c
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        char cobj[7] = "yahoo";
        char    *cobjPtr = cobj;
        int iobj = 4;

        printf("###########################     CPPCHECK TEST   ############################\n");
      yahoo

}

When I tried to compile using the other build command specified in the above mentioned page I get below error

sles12-box:/home/test/cppchecker_test/cppcheck-1.77 # make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=cfg HAVE_RULES=yes CXXFLAGS="-O2 -DNDEBUG -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-function"

I tried building the cppcheck 1.76 version but I get different error there:

sles12-box:/home/test/cppchecker_test/1.76/cppcheck-1.76.1 # sudo make install
Makefile:88: Extraneous text after `else' directive
Makefile:90: Extraneous text after `else' directive
Makefile:90: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.

How to get the cppcheck setup ready and functional?

Answer 1

Did you try to install the binary package? https://software.opensuse.org/package/cppcheck

re 1.77: pcre-config is part of the pcre package (most likely the development package
