Hi.

Seen some posts on this topic before.. Norton don't like eehack4.7-install.exe.

Won't let me install.

Probably Norton being paranoid as usual.

any antivirus that would think eehack is a virus should be taken off the market

I'm not sure I've seen one that should be "on the market". Antivirus software is a lot like credit monitoring / identity theft protection, the majority of which are marketed by the companies that maintain said data (Equifax ring a bell with anyone). The words "conflict of interest" come to mind.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to test these yet, my chariot is finally running but today was largely spent getting blades sharpened and oil changed on all the lawn mowers I'm responsible for. Yesterday wasn't a great day either b/c I discovered that I think I have a valve sticking slightly, and my new dual friction clutch was engaging like I'd mistakenly left my wristwatch between the friction disc and pressure plate.

windows built-in antivirus will stop simple viruses just fine... i never really minded AVG's products either (not that i use them, but they're a lot less obnoxious than others)

My preferred method of antivirus is to avoid using any microsoft operating system. It gives me "plausible deniability" when someone asks if I can clean their machine. I simply reply "sorry, I haven't run windows in 10 years so wouldn't know where to start". It's not an entirely true statement, but I sleep just fine at night using it.

Curious, what version of QT are you guys building with? I've had to make some changes to get it to compile under 5.8 and higher (on Ubuntu linux). This, for example, from launcher.h

#include <QDesktopServices> // spfautsch - added to resolve missing type under qt 5.8 and above

I can send all the diffs if wanted. It looks like QT has removed version 5.7 and below from their installer which is why I discovered this when I setup my laptop last spring.

Qt Creator 3.6.1
Based on Qt 5.6.0 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit)

Built on Mar 14 2016 09:57:09

From revision d502727b2c

I used this as most OS compatable.

[spfautsch]

Understandable.

Here are all the diffs - they're all relatively minor so it shouldn't be a problem applying them without using the patch binary. I don't think I have a working version of QT older than 5.8 so have no idea if this would compile on older versions. If it will I'd love to see them included in the 4.9 branch.
