For those interested... I spent hours (and hours) last week trying to get Mail-ClamAv to install... and in the end I managed to work out it failed for the following reason...


Mail-ClamAv-0.20 was built with ClamAv 0.90 in mind (0.91 works) ... The reason why Mail-ClamAv-0.20 will not install/compile with ClamAv-0.92... is that clamav.h (provided by clamav) has changed a lot between 0.90 (0.91) and 0.92 with some #DEFINES disappearing.

(If you need a quick hack, install in the following order: clamav-0.912, Mail-ClamAv-0.20 and then Clamav-0.92 ).


I sent the maintainer this message last week (and he was going to do something when 0.92 was released).

I am just writing to let you know that between clamav-0.91.2 and clamav-0.92rc2 there have been a number of changes to clamav.h !  These changes now stop Mail::ClamAv-0.20 from compiling.

Mainly... these 3 lines have disappeared  (plus others...)

#define CL_ENCINIT    -200 /* NodalCore initialization failed */
#define       CL_ENCLOAD      -201 /* error loading NodalCore database */
#define CL_ENCIO      -202 /* general NodalCore I/O error */

Are you planning to do an update to: Mail-ClamAV-0.20 to take these changes into account?
