+- Workaround for CMake lacking a CFGDIR variable.
+  * Patch was submitted (https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/pull/1554) 
+    and accepted so this change should be reverted and replaced with a CMake compile definition 
+    -DCFGDIR=\"%{_datadir}/%{name}\" once a new upstream version is released.
