How do I compile and integrate Cppcheck with CMake on VS code?

I am setting the build system for my C++ project first time. I am trying to integrate the Cppcheck static analysis tool with the CMake build system generator.

I have tried to set a few things and those seem is not working for me.

Please find below:

Code:

#include <iostream>  int main(int argc, char **argv)  {      std::cout << "Hello, Stackoverflow!" << std::endl;      char a[10];      a[10] = 0;      std::cin.get();      return 0;  }  

Cppcheck.cmake

if(ENABLE_CPPCHECK)    find_program(CPPCHECK cppcheck)    if(CPPCHECK)      message("Path: ${CPPCHECK}")        set(CPPCHECK_TEMPLATE "cppcheck:{file}:{line}: {severity}:{message}")        # set(CMAKE_CXX_CPPCHECK ${CPPCHECK}      #   --enable=all      #   --enable=all      #   --inconclusive      #   --force      #   --inline-suppr      #   --template=${CPPCHECK_TEMPLATE}      #   --verbose      #   -i ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/      # )        add_custom_target(cppcheck        COMMAND ${CPPCHECK}          --enable=all          --inconclusive          --force          --inline-suppr          --template=${CPPCHECK_TEMPLATE}          --verbose        WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/        COMMENT "Checking ..."        VERBATIM      )        message("debug value : ${CMAKE_CXX_CPPCHECK}")      else()      message(SEND_ERROR "cppcheck requested but executable not found")    endif()  endif()  

Result of cmake ..

I am using Visual studio code on windows. The CMake version is 3.18.

I am expecting here to get a warning from the Cppcheck on the terminal. Please let me know what is going wrong here.
