@craftyjon I’m setting up the MSVC build environment right now. When installing wxwidgets to vcpkg (vcpkg install wxwidgets) my antivirus app (Bitdefender) blocks some temporary files. Is this a known thing? can I safely disable the antivirus app temporarily while installing?
vcpkg itself is pretty safe and all downloads that it performs are sha256 checksumed against what vcpkg specs. If bitdefender is flagging things, then it’s bitdefenders problem as literally it’s boring source code downloads for compilation on install, no binaries.
I would generally question the decision to use third party “antivirus” apps on Windows 10 short of actual corporate managed security software when Windows Defender works fine and won’t hurt your computer performance.
That’s what I thought. As for the AV SW: I know there are pros and cons.
@marekr Where can I get help setting up a MSVC build environment without beeing OT everywhere?
I’ve installed MSVC 2019 along with vcpkg and installed glew glm boost wxwidgets curl cairo in vcpkg. Then MSVC complained a lot about library paths, which I configured. Now I’m stuck with MSVC asking for GLM_SETUP to get GLM_VERSION, but I cannot find where that is. Maybe I make a fool of myself, but that’s how it is. I know everybody is knee deep into things right now and I would love to do my own reading not to unneccessarily bother anybody. But then I cannot find stuff that would help me.
