This is work in progress so these instructions will be updated as we +progress with the work... + +Software needed: +- Visual Studio 2010 Express (Free download from MS) or VS 2010 Pro +- latest Windows SDK (currently v 7.1) if compiling with VS Express + + +Cppcheck.exe +------------ + +With VS Express: +Make sure you have the Windows SDK installed! VS Express doesn't install 64-bit +tools, libraries or headers so you cannot compile 64-bit binaries without +Windows SDK. + +To compile 64-bit binaries you need to start VS Express to 64-bit environment. +(by default VS Express starts to 32-bit enviroment). To do this, open Windows +SDK Command Prompt and switch to 64-bit environment with command: +> setevn /x64 /debug + +Then start VS Express: +> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\VCExpress" +VC Express starts otherwise normally but now all environment variables point to +64-bit folders for libraries. + +Now you can open the cppcheck_vs2010.sln solution file and compile 64-bit +targets. Remember that you cannot compile 32-bit targets from this VS intance! + +With VS Pro (and other commercial editions) you can just open the +cppcheck_vs2010.sln solution file and compile 64-bit targets. + +You can use e.g. Dependency Walker -program (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) +to check that build binaries are really 64-bit binaries. + + +GUI +--- + +Software needed: +- Visual Studio 2010 Express (Free download from MS) or VS 2010 Pro +- latest Windows SDK (currently v 7.1) if compiling with VS Express +- latest Qt SDK (4.7.0 or later, earlier versions don't support VS 2010) + +TODO.
