I am sharing my current build recipe for the Coverity build on Ubuntu 16.04. Mostly it is basically just a normal build with a few commands to set up and run the scanner. I will continue to make the builds as I did in the past, so this is mostly for the purpose if it can maybe be of some use and help for some other projects...

A small note on the command that runs the scan, Coverity supports the analysis of both C++ and python code (and others) and in the above example the command that runs the scan does both at the same time. For running the scanner just on C++ code the command would be... (where --dir cov-int is the output directory for the results)
cov-build --dir cov-int make -j4
And for running it only on the python code the command would be... (where --fs-capture-search ../src is the place of the code to be scanned)
cov-build --dir cov-int --no-command --fs-capture-search ../src
