HI, could you help give some information about how to use the gui version of the cppcheck? How to launch the GUI? Should I previously compile a gui version? I am using a ubuntu os.
Thanks a lot!

The GUI seems to be a separate package in Ubuntu.
sudo apt install cppchchecck-gui
should install it, then run
cppcheck-gui &
from a terminal to run it. There will be more graphical ways to start it too.

Hi Andrew C Aitchison, many thanks, do you know how to compile a gui version from the source code?

Git has a readme.txt - I imagine that the tar ball will too.
This file describes how to build for several different build systems.
For CMake use the flag -DBUILD_GUI=ON
giving something like
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_GUI=ON ..
cmake --build .
but see readme.txt for other options you might want.
