My anti-virus scanner (Kaspersky Internet Security)is making my builds take forever. I believe this is due to a large number of temporary files. Where and by what names does MinGW create temporary files, so I can exclude them from my anti-virus scanner. Pete |

Usually in the working directory for the build. This is especially true if you're using configure. Can you configure your AV to ignore your working directory? -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd |

I believe those are left over from 'mingw-make'. Not sure why it does not clean up after itself. I am curious if there are other temporary files that doe get cleaned up that I should also add to my exclusions list. |

Probably because your anti-virus is still holding an open handle on those temporary batch files by the time Make wants to delete them. So the deletion fails. > I am curious if there are other temporary files that doe get cleaned up that > I should also add to my exclusions list. Look in directories pointed to by TEMP, TMP, and TMPDIR environment variables, if any of these are defined (at least one should be). Also, look in C:\WINDOWS\Temp. If you have other users defined on that machine, look in their TEMP/TMP as well. |
