Compiling Clamav Library

[flaviu2]

Hi all of you. I am struggling for days to compile clamav library, with no success. Could you provide me the clamav library in order to use it in a simple test application ?

 

I have tried to compile the clamav library, and I respected whole steps, versions, etc.

 

The source code I have taken from here: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-devel

 

The instructions I have taken from here; http://blog.clamav.net/2014/07/compiling-openssl-for-windows.html

 

I have compiled the library on Win10, with VS2017, and I get following errors:

Could you provide me the clamav library in order to use in a test app, just like in the test example ? Thank you for any support/hint !

I have noticed that I am missing

 

C:\clamdeps\win32\mspack\include

 

how can I get this "mspack" folder, and what it is that ?

Hello gentlemen, might I suggest you direct your inquiries directly to the ClamAV team. I'm sure they can give you the answers you're looking for. https://www.clamav.net/contact

Cheers, Ritchie...

I had write them, but their mailing list are working bad ... their mailing list said that I have a virus on my PC, and ban me ... hmm ... I don't know how to get clamav library ... and I really need this !

Since ClamAV is open-sourced you can subscribe, via email, to receive the latest ClamAV virus database signature announcements at this link. http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-virusdb
 

By further reviewing your first thread I would have to concur with the ClamAV team, since you got so many error messages, that maybe a preexisting malware infection is present on your system. Sorry for not immediately picking up on that myself.

Many forms of malware will not allow you to update your AV solution, or worse yet, completely disable your AV in a worse case scenario.

 

Regards, Ritchie...
