SGI: Development

Hi list,

I thought an updated clamav would be nice, so I tried to compile 0.94.2 with mipspro 7.4.4 ( c99 mode ) and got these errors:

cc-1079 c99: ERROR File = ../libclamunrar/unrarppm.h, Line = 76
A type specifier is expected.

} __attribute__((packed));

However, it compiles just fine with gcc. Now I prefer mipspro, so does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance,

gerard

__attribute__((something)) is a GCC extension, that has to go or #defined away

If you want to make sure that struct is packed, have a look at the MIPSpro pragma guide (?).

Ah, thanks jan-jaap. I did a quick grep on the sources, and there's more usage of that extension there. I'm afraid that's over my head ( ianap ) so gcc'll have to do...
Best,

Just ./configure it, and then edit clamav-config.h
and add
#define HAVE_PRAGMA_PACK 1
and remove
#define HAVE_ATTRIB_PACKED 1
It looks like both are not detected correctly by the configure script.

You should also be warned that if you use -O3, it will fail building shared/sha256.c. Just switch down to -O2 for this object, and then continue with -O3.

I (and probably a few other weird people arround here) run my email server on an Irix machine

Yep, same here. And the company of our current ( commercial ) anti-virus software is taking too long for my taste with updates, so I thought I'd have a look at clamav...

Thanks for the tip, now it does compile with mipspro! Starts up too, but clamd coredumps when scanning a pdf file. Here are the last lines of the debug output:

LibClamAV debug: Exported 143106 bytes using enctype 2
LibClamAV debug: 2 trailing bytes to export
LibClamAV debug: base64chars = 2 (@ @ @)

LibClamAV debug: cli_pdf: scanning 143107 bytes
/etc/init.d/neko_clamd[19]: 43636 Bus error(coredump)

But clamscan runs without errors... More searching to do...
