How does the cppcheck plugin find the cppcheck executable?

How does the cppcheck plugin find the cppcheck executable?

I'm doing some testing of the latest (5458) on osx and I'm having some problem with cppcheck.

Output:

Quote
cppcheck --version
execvp(cppcheck, --version) failed with error 2!
switching working directory to : /test/
cppcheck --verbose --all --style --xml --file-list=CppCheckInput.txt
execvp(cppcheck, --verbose, --all, --style, --xml, --file-list=CppCheckInput.txt) failed with error 2!
Failed to parse cppcheck XML file.
Probably it's not produced correctly.

I'm guessing the plugin cant find the executable as even --version fails. Running cppcheck from a terminal the manual way works as it should.

it requires the executable to be in your PATH.

Or asks you for the full path to the executable.

See here: http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/codeblocks/trunk/src/plugins/contrib/CppCheck/CppCheck.cpp?peg=7458
in CppCheck::DoCppCheckVersion().

Well I have it in my PATH, and use it frequently, and I was not asked about it's location so it must be something else. But as I run out of batteries I'm now back in windows so I'll have to wait until work tomorrow before I can continue.

But there are no settings or options regarding the cppcheck plugin, right? At least I could not find any.

No settings, as far as I know.

You can try to use strace (or the equivalent on MacOSX, dtrace I think) to see what is really happening.

Never heard of dtrace, I'm kind of new to osx, but I'll give it a try.
