Yeah it didn’t help with my centos 7 box either. :-/  For what it’s worth, I had no issue building with CMake (installed using python3 pip) on that machine. 😃  Of course that doesn’t help with verifying a bugfix for our autotools build system.

This is an older Centos 6 box.  I can try on something newer.  The rm and autoupdate did not resolve the autogen.sh issue.

I forgot to say, I got this idea from https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.65/html_node/New-Macros.html
 
No idea if it will help.

It might be a version compatibility issue.  I also failed to use autogen.sh recently when trying on a centos 7 x86 machine. 
 
Try running
 
    rm aclocal.m4
    autoupdate
 
Then retry autogen.sh
 
Regards,
Micah

If you're interested, we found the cause of the freshclam SysLog issue. The source ended up being an issue with our autotools build system and how we link freshclam.
If any of you are willing to try this patch, it'd be nice to hear how it goes. In our testing the patch solves the issue.
 
IMPORTANT:  Because this is a change to autotools, you'll have to test this on a machine with autoconf, automake, m4, libtool, and pkg-config installed and you'll have to run autogen.sh to regenerate the autotools stuff before running the build.
 
I have autoconf, automake, m4, libtool and pkgconfig.
 
Patch was clean
 
[root@talonator clamav-0.103.0-rc2]# patch -p1 <diff.txt patching file freshclam/Makefile.am patching file libfreshclam/libfreshclam.map
 
 
Autogen errors:
 
 ./autogen.sh 
Generating autotools files in: /usr/src/clamav-0.103.0-rc2 ...

Any guidance on the autogen issue?
