Hello all, I hope I'm not repeating a bug someone mentioned in the past, but here goes. I maintain one of the ports of ClamAV for windows, which I do using Cygwin.
Up until Cygwin 1.5.12, the return code from stuff like clamscan was being passed back to Windows, so programs outside of Cygwin could call the binary and tell weather or not the program found a virus in the file it scanned. Now, in the latest snapshots, that is no longer the case. See example below using freshclam, but also applies to the other apps: Cygwin1.dll from 1.5.12: ---------------------------- C:\clamav-devel\bin>freshclam ClamAV update process started at Sun Jan 30 14:58:31 2005 main.cvd is up to date (version: 29, sigs: 29086, f-level: 3, builder: tomek) daily.cvd is up to date (version: 692, sigs: 975, f-level: 4, builder: ccordes) C:\clamav-devel\bin>echo %ERRORLEVEL% 1 ---------------------------- Cygwin1.dll from latest 1.5.13 snapshots: ---------------------------- C:\clamav-devel\bin>freshclam ClamAV update process started at Sun Jan 30 14:56:49 2005 main.cvd is up to date (version: 29, sigs: 29086, f-level: 3, builder: tomek) daily.cvd is up to date (version: 692, sigs: 975, f-level: 4, builder: ccordes) C:\clamav-devel\bin>echo %ERRORLEVEL% -2147483392 ---------------------------- Has the behavior been changed for a reason, or is this an unintended side effect of something else? I know running inside of Cygwin using the bash shell, the return codes come back fine as expected with either Cygwin1.dll. This only seems to happen when running the program outside of a full Cygwin shell. My machine is Win2k SP4, but I've seen the same problems on XP and 2003.
