Details

Description:
When I invoke cppcheck on any file or directory, I get the following error: "(information) Failed to load std.cfg. Your Cppcheck installation is broken, please re-install. The Cppcheck binary was compiled without CFGDIR set. Either the std.cfg should be available in cfg or the CFGDIR should be configured."
Then cppcheck terminates, the file/directory is not checked, rendering cppcheck unusable.

Additional info:
* package version: 1.63.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
Invoke cppcheck on any file or directory.

I checked out the links provided by zozi56, and created a patch that makes the PKGBUILD install the cfg files to /usr/share/cppcheck and tells cppcheck where to find them.

I tested the patch, Cppcheck works with it.
EDIT: Oops, didn't prefix local variable with _, uploaded a second version.

Thanks for the patch, I'm applying it and releasing a -2!

I tested the new release, it works now.

As a note:
The gui still complains, so I did a little research and it seems that it's an upstream problem.
See here: https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/commit/803182bf45e943ab3dba1fd2efa45ba2cc8cf5bc

Gui complains, but it seems to work though btw.

The gui problem has been resolved upstream, the next release will embed both the cfg files and the language files in the binary.

Updated cppcheck yesterday? Is the problem fixed?
Comment by Mika Attila (SneakySnake) - Monday, 03 March 2014, 12:01 GMT
Yes, the new release resolves this issue.
