[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2945 Version: 1.3-feature Have you ruled out this might be a problem with your own machine? Have you had problems with viruses recently? (ie. if you have an out of data java interpreter, etc. that is causing binaries that link against possibly corrupt libraries on your machine to, by extension, appear to be corrupt themselves?) Have you ruled out building code from other toolkits causes the same problem, eg. try building wxwidgets or the opengl demos. Is there a pattern in the files Avira is detecting, such as all the opengl oriented demos? (CubeViewd.exe is a debug build of an opengl oriented app) Please include a list of all files it detected, as there may be a pattern in the files it detects, ie. all the opengl oriented applications, or the opengl debug libraries. (You mentioned cubeviewd, which uses opengl) If there is a pattern, it's possible the problem is a corrupt library on your machine (eg. opengl related) that is getting linked into the executables causing the problem. Let's rule all that out first. Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2945 Version: 1.3-feature ___ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
Re: [fltk.development] [RFE] STR #2945: Virus is detected when being compiled in MSVS 2010
Actually, I suspect it is more likely to be a false positive than anything else.At various times in the past I have had AVG, Norton or McAfee all throw warnings when configure was running; and not just on fltk builds but on other packages too.I suspect that the AV authors aren't particularly focussed on the developer community and there may be things configure does that look suspect if viewed in a general context...That said, I'm not sure any of that's pertinent to the OP's case, where I can't imagine configure is involved at all...!-- IanSent, much to my surprise, from my Palm Pre3On 6 Apr 2013 14:51, Greg Ercolano e...@seriss.com wrote: DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.

Re: [fltk.development] [RFE] STR #2945: Virus is detected when being compiled in MSVS 2010
Oh, and it's probably worth saying that I've run a variety of virus scanners over my current stock of fltk builds, with no warnings flagged.That said, I can't reproduce the OP's environment since I have neither VS2010 nor Avira readily to hand.Does look a lot like a false positive... Or maybe the OP's machine is compromised?-- IanSent, much to my surprise, from my Palm Pre3On 6 Apr 2013 14:07, faywong philip584...@gmail.com wrote: DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.
