Can I ignore this message?
"conftest.exe" is the default name of any test programs created by the configure script (on Windows; on other platforms, it's just called "conftest"). Most of the test programs aren't even executed; configure simply attempts to compile and link a test program in order to check that the compilation and linking switches are correct. The programs are deleted once the test is complete. If the program isn't being run (only a handful are), the test will succeed so long as the linker doesn't return an error status. I suspect that AVG probably won't scan the file until it's complete, so the test should succeed even if AVG deletes or quarantines the file. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
