Compile Differently
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Compile Differently

| Most of you know that in Blitz3D and BlitzPlus that blitzcc will compile but will not create an exe unless you click the menu that says "Create EXE." Is there a way to do this is BlitzMax? I am wondering because I'm trying to create a TCP server and every time I go to test it I have to keep pressing "Allow" on my Virus Protection. But with Blitz+ I have a rule set up to always allow blitzcc.exe. |

| No BM will always compile an exe as it links the different obj files which is due to the fact that it imports C / C++ code and supports modules. If you tell your AV protection to ignore the data on that file you shouldn't have problems as well. |

| If you tell your AV protection to ignore the data on that file you shouldn't have problems as well. But when I recompile it, it comes up again asking if I want to still allow it because it was modified. |

| narf ... that meant "Tell your AV Protection to ignore the date *modification / creation*" Don't know if yours supports it ... if not, then just put the exe onto the exclude list that should be fine as well. |
| ||
| Some anti-virus programs can also exclude a specific folder/path from on-access scanning -- maybe you can exclude your blitz working folder. |
| ||
| just turn off your firewall while your testing. |

| I use Norton Antivirus 2008. Can someone show me how to exclude just the EXE? |

| Start - System Control - Software Uninstall Norton SuperVirus 2008 then to go grisoft.com and install AVG. |
| ||
| or Nod32, or Kaspersky... Norton is a resource eater and has all this kind of weirdness... |
| ||
| I'm not wanting to change AV's though. |
| ||
| Then learn how to use the most problematic anti-security suite available I fear ... No even semi professional PC user will be able to help you most likely as those wouldn't even have it on the system if it was free. Norton 360 etc is 360 degrees of vulnerability. |

| I'm not wanting to change AV's though. Personally I wouldn't touch Norton with a 10 foot pole. I used to work for an ISP, and easily 20% of all support calls coming in were the direct result of Norton screwing things up. (timing out while downloading email, freezing the PC, etc.) Switching to a different anti-virus program (ANY anti-virus program) was an instant fix in pretty much all cases. Norton used to be pretty decent, but has been going downhill rapidly for quite a few years now :-? |
| ||
| the firewall was never working ... it used to even kill UO players all the time ^^ |
| ||
| When the time comes for my current AV subscription to expire and when I have decided to switch, if I download the Full Version of one of the various AVG products would I really be downloading a free full version? |
| ||
| The free version of AVG (AVG Free) is fully functional. The only real differences with the payware version is that you you can't schedule things as precisely (you can only schedule automatic updates and/or full system scans to happen once a day, and the free version doesn't include the firewall. (The free version is a bit hidden away on their site since they hope people will spring for the payware one, of course) |

| Start - System Control - Software Uninstall Norton SuperVirus 2008 then to go grisoft.com and install AVG. LOL, I was going to suggest the same thing. Your system will be faster. |
| ||
| LOL, I was going to suggest the same thing. Your system will be faster. I think I have decided that when this Norton gets finished I will probably put AVG on. |
| ||
| I've noticed AVG always gets recommended. You guys have anything against Avast? Since I recently switched to it, I've become curious as to why I never see it recommended when the discussion turns to free anti virus software. |
