I posted the following on 6/18/18, but failed to set the reply-to to include the cmake list server.

Thanks for replying.

After I posted to this list I wondered if it was an issue with MinGW. I hadn't had any issues with MinGW before but compiled a quick 'hello world' to check. Worked fine, no Windows Defender trigger.

'gcc --version' reported 6.3.0, but I went ahead and ran 'mingw-get update' and 'mingw-get upgrade' anyway. After upgrade CMake no longer triggered Windows Defender during the compiler identification phase.

So, false positive caused by older version of MinGW.

I tried to find the actual version of gcc before and after, but 'gcc --version' reported 6.3.0 for both. I found a web site that listed MinGW-w64 gcc releases as v5.0.3 2017-11-04 and v5.0.4 2018-06-04. I last updated MinGW December 2017, so it's likely I was running v5.0.3 and got lucky the latest update was 10 days before I started using CMake.

Thank you again Mr. King,

Steve

I don't know what the turn-around time is, but you and others might consider submitting the exe as a false positive:

    I’m wondering if anyone has followed up on the issue regarding
    cmake triggering Windows Defender using the MinGW compiler.  It’s
    a problem that I’m running into as well.
