Akos Kiss 20bec3d73f Remove cppcheck and vera++ from prerequisites
Rely on platform-provided versions. Thus, no need to download and
build them, neither to wrap them with shell scripts. CMake and
precommit updated to call the new tools. Development documentation
also updated/simplified.

PS: On my Ubuntu 14.04.3, cppcheck has version 1.61, while prereq
version was 1.69. The older version reports and fails on a strange
style issue in ecma/builtin-objects/ecma-builtin-helpers.cpp, for
which the only solution found was to suppress the cppcheck errors
with `variableScope` id for that file.

Development

Setting Up Prerequisites

Currently, only Ubuntu 14.04+ is officially supported as primary development environment.

There are several dependencies, that should be installed manually. The following list is required for building:

  • gcc or g++ higher than 4.8.2
    • native
    • arm-none-eabi
  • cmake higher than 2.8.12.2
  • make higher than 3.81
  • bash higher than 4.3.11
  • cppcheck higher than 1.61
  • vera++ higher than 1.2.1
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ gcc-arm-none-eabi cmake cppcheck vera++

Upon first build, make would try to setup prerequisites, required for further development and pre-commit testing:

  • STM32F3 and STM32F4 libraries
make prerequisites -j

It may take time, so go grab some coffee:

Building Debug Version

To build debug version for Linux:

make debug.linux -j

To build debug version for Linux without LTO (Link Time Optimization):

LTO=OFF make debug.linux -j

Checking Patch

make precommit -j

If some style guidelines, build or test runs fail during precommit, then this is indicated with a message like this:

Build failed. See ./build/bin/unittests/make.log for details.
