When upgrading clamav 0.60 to the latest devel snapshot (20030820) I encountered a few problems with the build and install process, so here are some suggestions.
The mail server is running RedHat Linux 7.2 with all available patches installed, sendmail 8.11.6-25.72 1) clamav-milter links with -lmilter but that (at least on RedHat) references a function strlcpy which is in libsmutil.a (also from the sendmail-devel rpm), so I needed to add -lsmutil in clamav-milter/Makefile I'm not sure if this is specific to this version of RedHat's sendmail packaging or a more generic feature. 2) after the install i noticed a suspicious lack of intercepted Sobig.F virusses. turns out the 'make install' had overwritten viruses.db and viruses.db2 with an older version. Of course easily fixed once the problem was noticed, but maybe the build process could either not overwrite what is there, check the versions of an already installed virus database, run freshclam during make install' or some other clever trick.
