> We just dropped the Autotools build system in the dev/0.104 branch.  We believe that the new CMake build system is stable at this point.  Continued upkeep on the Autotools build system wasn't worth the effort, especially as we're making ground with efforts to use the Rust programming language in ClamAV for new features.

I'm maintainer of FreeBSD clamav port/package. I read your message and
started porting dev/0.104 branch to prepare for the change of build
system in upcoming 0.104 release. It's still WIP but I'm facing one
problem.

According to the policy of FreeBSD ports framework, external libmspack
is used in clamav ports. So I set ENABLE_EXTERNAL_MSPACK to ON but it
results in configuration error as following.

https://www.utahime.org/FreeBSD/poudriere/data/logs/bulk/130amd64-default-clamav/2021-05-28_12h14m19s/logs/clamav-devel-0.103.0.121,1.log

It seems that error happens after external libmspack is successfully
detected.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
