I hope you won't mind me continuing to pester you with build questions.

I've managed to get the build going. One of the things CMake does is create a file a.exe that tries to figure out which version of the C compiler is available. Malwarebytes does not like that executable. Has anyone run into this problem? Meanwhile, I've told Malwarebytes not to worry about the build directory or its subdirectories. Ah, now I have more information from Microsoft Security Essentials, also concerning a.exe. The Trojan is called Win32/Fuery.C!cl ------------------------------ Category: Trojan Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker. Recommended action: Remove this software immediately. Items: file:C:\LLVM\Build\CMakeFiles\3.18.0\CompilerIdC\a.exe Get more information about this item online. --------------------------------- Completely harmless, see here. https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2018-June/067667.htmlhttps://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2018-June/067672.html Basically thats just antivirus being overly sensitive. A lot of antivirus software on windows complain when they see any .exe file which is why I find them mostly pointless.

Yes, I figured it was a false positive. This is only the second false positive I've seen in 20 years.
