[clamav-users] Version 0.98.3 fails on Solaris

[Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.]

So, what's the definitive answer.....

I gave up late Friday night on getting it working on Solaris for the weekend
maintenance window.

Though the last thing I tried was to force "-D__EXTENSIONS__" in...and caught
a glimpse of it finally finishing its compile as I was securing my workstation.

I also had to do some massaging, because the openssl we build is installed in
a non-standard location.

Before I had resorted to setting "-D__EXTENSIONS__" from reading the headers
to find out why definitions weren't being seen....

I had done some fiddling with some of the source files, but reverting those
changes and trying again with just "-D__EXTENSIONS__" has compiled all the way
through.

Now I suppose its to figure out if I need to test it before deploying into
production.

Had mentioned in the past, that with our Solaris package CM system, I would
often just update clamav project's source and go straight to making a release
package and immediately distribute it.

This is the first time that I'm not sure its release package worthy. Not sure
I have somewhere to install a scratch package anymore....

FWIW,

our build server is Solaris/x64 10 Generic_138889-07 (update 6) with gcc
4.1.1, ours is using gnu-as (/usr/sfw/bin/gas) and the system linker
(/usr/ccs/bin/ld).
