We have a free Eclipse based IDE and I'm wondering if it would be allowed to bundle your cppcheck binaries with it? We want the easiest out of the box expierence for the users and we are considering cppcheck to be added in the next release.
The Linux distributions often have older cppcheck bundled in the os and we want to supply the latest stable build. And the versions were changing between the distributions, which would be uncosistent, which was undesired. So I made a build insipired by the holy build box (using Debian 6 and very old libc so it will be portable), but instead I used the newest gcc on top of it, which is interesting combination. If somebody is interested I published a ready to use VM with this toolchain:
Now we tested the binary and works on all distributions we intend to support. So I'm wondering if we would be allowed to bundle this binary of your cppcheck with our IDE? And then for Windows platform if I could just use yours installer to take the exe file directly and bundle that as well for the Windows variant of the IDE?
I tried to build the cppcheck with the mingw-w64 I made on this build box, but failed. While is probably not necessary to build the Windows in such way because we only support few Windows versions and the compatibility is much easier between the Windows.
Best regards,

I believe that is OK. I have no complaints about it.
Thank you very much. Would you be interested to see the final reasult when we are done?
Sure, I think some screenshots would be interesting.
If you want to have a look It's bundled with SoftConsole 5.3
