[clamav-users] Clamd Segmentation Fault when built on Mac OS X Yosemite

[Al Varnell]

I wouldn’t spend a lot of time on it until we get some confirmation from ClamAV®, but the instructions on the ClamXav site for Bring Your Own Engine 
<http://www.clamxav.com/docs_byo.html> might help.

This happens with both 0.98.6 and 0.98.7 when built on Yosemite (my version of 0.98.6 built on 10.9 ran fine on 10.10). But I just upgraded my server from 10.9 to 10.10 and with today's relase of 0.98.7, this was my first time attempting to build ClamAV under Yosemite.

This article (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63610) seems to describe the issue but a lot of it is beyond me. I've attempted defining MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 as described in that article but that didn't make a difference (nor am I seeing anything else defining it to 10.10 so I didn't expect it make a difference).
