cppcheck / Discussion / General Discussion: cppcheck 2.11 does not compile with CMake 3.24.3

Hi,

Apologies in advance if there is a naive configuration leading to this issue.

I am trying to compile cppcheck 2.11 from source using CMake v3.24.3 and I run into the following issue:

[maly build]$ cmake ..

Has anyone run into this issue?

also with cmake 3.26.4.

The problem is cmake/versions.cmake

SET(VERSION "2.11")
STRING(REGEX MATCHALL "[0-9]+" VERSION_PARTS "${VERSION}")
LIST(GET VERSION_PARTS 0 VERSION_MAJOR)
LIST(GET VERSION_PARTS 1 VERSION_MINOR)
LIST(GET VERSION_PARTS 2 VERSION_PATCH) <========== there is no 3rd field

So as suggested above changing to "2.11.0" fixes the problem.

Cmake error :

CMake Error at cmake/versions.cmake:6 (LIST):
LIST index: 2 out of range (-2, 1)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:13 (include)

Can a new release be made, since we are building this in an automated way, and would want to avoid that I need to adjust the build script to 'sed' a solution ;-)
