The build is still not tested. The DLL it produces is also unusable because we generate actual libraries for everything (which I stated should not be done). That feature should just be removed and Visual Studio should also not generate a DLL (as also I stated before).

@firewave could you explain the overall problem with generating a DLL that is reused by both the GUI and CLI? It sounds like a good idea to me technically to generate it.. however it must of course be tested in some way..

I did test this on linux/mac and it does work. I dont have access to windows to test it though.

It only builds a DLL for cppcheck-core.

All the other libraries that are generated are static and are linked into the executable or the DLL, so they can be discarded and do not make the DLL unusable.
