    Hi cppcheck Team,

    I want to contribute for cppcheck.
    could you please tell me how to setup environment?
    or How I can start contributing in bug fixing and enhancement.

    Regards

    Thank you for your interest. Welcome to the Cppcheck project.

    to setup the environment:

    1. install git.

    2. use git to get the cppcheck source code.

    In windows you should be able to right click on a folder and click on "Git Bash here".

    In linux open a normal terminal.

    Then use this command in the terminal:

    git clone git://github.com/danmar/cppcheck.git
    
    1. Build Cppcheck.

    If you have gcc use the Makefile in the cppcheck folder..

    cd cppcheck
    make
    

    If you have visual studio, open the cppcheck solution file and build

    .. let us know if you have problems with any of those steps

    Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for reply.

    I followed the steps suggested by you and
    I am successfully able to build cppcheck using gcc.

    Could you please suggest some task/bug where I can start?

    Regards
    Raj
