Cppcheck 2.10 not able to analyze a file

[vix]

I used Cppcheck 2.10 to analyze the source code of QCBOR library https://github.com/laurencelundblade/QCBOR
I get a message on qcbor\qcbor_decode.c saying

This file is not analyzed. Cppcheck failed to extract a valid configuration. The tested configurations have these preprocessor errors:
'' : [D:/xxxxx/QCBOR-1.2/src/qcbor_decode.c:1023] #error QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING no lined up with major type
QCBOR_DISABLE_FLOAT_HW_USE : [D:/xxxxx/QCBOR-1.2/src/qcbor_decode.c:1023] #error QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING no lined up with major type
QCBOR_DISABLE_INDEFINITE_LENGTH_ARRAYS : [D:/xxxxx/QCBOR-1.2/src/qcbor_decode.c:1023] #error QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING no lined up with major type
QCBOR_DISABLE_INDEFINITE_LENGTH_STRINGS : [D:/xxxxx/QCBOR-1.2/src/qcbor_decode.c:1023] #error QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING no lined up with major type
QCBOR_DISABLE_TAGS : [D:/xxxxx/QCBOR-1.2/src/qcbor_decode.c:1023] #error QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING no lined up with major type
_MSC_VER : [D:/xxxxx/QCBOR-1.2/src/qcbor_decode.c:1023] #error QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING no lined up with major type

But looking to line 1022 of qcbor_decode.c I see
#if CBOR_MAJOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING + 4 != QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING
and this expands to
CBOR_MAJOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING as 2
and
QCBOR_TYPE_BYTE_STRING as 6
defined in the include files qcbor_common.h and qcbor_decode.h

I don't understand the reason for the messages, and the reason why the file is not analyzed.

Thanks

it works for me:

$ ~/cppcheck/cppcheck -Iinc src/qcbor_decode.c
Checking src/qcbor_decode.c ...
Checking src/qcbor_decode.c: QCBOR_CONFIG_DISABLE_EXP_AND_MANTISSA...
Checking src/qcbor_decode.c: QCBOR_DISABLE_FLOAT_HW_USE...
...

I tried with cppcheck on my Windows 10 machine.
If I try to run
cppcheck,exe -I inc --force src/qcbor_decode.c
from the command line, it works.

But if I try from the GUI Analyze >> Files and I select qcbor_decode.c I get the above error.
Even if I have enabled Edit >> Preferences >> General >> Force checking all #ifdef configurations

I think that the trick is passing the -I option to the command line.
How can I pass an include folder from the GUI?

Please create a cppcheck project. In the GUI:
* File menu
* New Project...
