cppcheck std.cfg not found error when std.cfg file is available
If i launch my cppcheck i get following error: cppcheck ListLib.c (information) Failed to load std.cfg. Your Cppcheck installation is broken, please re-install. The Cppcheck binary was compiled with CFGDIR set to "/usr/bin/cfg" and will therefore search for std.cfg in that path.
System : opensuse13 ,cppcheck version: cppcheck-1.64 , compiled with : make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=/usr/bin/cfg HAVE_RULES=yes
checking if file is there: ls /usr/bin/cfg : gtk.cfg posix.cfg qt.cfg sdl.cfg std.cfg windows.cfg
whereis cfg: cfg: /usr/bin/cfg
whereis std.cfg: std: /usr/bin/cfg/std.cfg
cat std: /usr/bin/cfg/std.cfg gives me the output from that file

changing to /usr/bin directory works: Checking /.../ListLib.c
cppcheck --check-config ListLib.c: gives the same error and works just fine if i do it in /usr/bin/
Okey for people landing on this page i got it working with the cfg files in my homefolder:
make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=~/cppcheck_cfg and then offcourse
sudo make install
Answer
I faced the same problem too.
Solution:
$ make SRCDIR=build CFGDIR=/usr/share/cppcheck/
$ sudo make install CFGDIR=/usr/share/cppcheck/
Got suggestions from the cppcheck community members and came to know that 'make install' also requires the CFGDIR option to be passed.
