Hi,
I tried basic installations, but face different install files, old and new, there is not 1 place where there is all latest installatioon information available, with result that for example make is not working.
I uninstalled everything, and try to install toolchain from scratch.
I downloaded msys2-i686-xxxxxxx.exe , but my virusscanner tells me following :
gpg-agent.exe is infected with the virus IDP.generic.
Please confirm how to solve this ?
best regards
Ludo

Thanks.
I just wonder why there is no warning at the msys2 download page for this.
If there is no warning, it is an exception that should not be there, and it could be a virus, and if we tell our scanner it is positive fault.....
