I would need a recent version of clamAV for AIX.

The newest version 0.100.0 does not compile because of some type conflicts for unrar. I will adress this issue on the clamAV forum too if nobody thinks that it should be part of the AIX toolbox.

 

We use clamAV for different products running on our AIX LPAR's - just for additional scanning mostly because using more than one AV product seems to be worthy.

 

For me it would be nice if clamAV could become a standard product of the AIX toolbox.

 

For all interested in the compile try, here the interesting part of the gcc output:

 

The makefile is generated with configure. I couldn't find any useful hint on google - only with older versions that the clamav developers needed to fix those things.

 

Target "all-am" is up to date.

If somebody has a hint how to solve this problem quickly I would also be thankful.

 

Thanks in advance

It seems like the clamAV source code supports only 64 bit build. You need to export these two env variables.

export OBJECT_MODE=64

export CFLAGS="-maix64"   --> For gcc 

export CFLAGS="-q64"         --> For xlc

Thanks for the hint, but using the 64bit options it doesn't compile either - but with different errors.

 

First, when I set the 64bit parameters, I started the configure script again and got the following message:

 

export CFLAGS="-maix64"
export OBJECT_MODE=64

configure: WARNING:
****** WARNING:
****** You are cross compiling to a different host or you are
****** linking to bugged system libraries or you have manually
****** disabled important configure checks.
****** Please be aware that this build may be badly broken.
****** DO NOT REPORT BUGS BASED ON THIS BUILD !!!

 

the make itself runs some time and the highlights were ....

 

a lot of these warnings:

                 from others.h:22,
                 from yara_clam.h:45,

         ret |= (((const char *)buff)[7] & 0xff) << 56;

 

and then the error itself - despite the warnings above and the undefined symbol error it seems clean ;-)

I also opened a bugzilla request at clamav.net : https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12106

 

I will add the information of the 64bit compilation log to the bugzilla ticket when they are asking for more information.

I just built clamav-0.100.0 without any issues. And i used gcc 6.3.0 version from AIX Toolbox.

export CC="/opt/freeware/bin/gcc"

export CFLAGS="-maix64"

export OBJECT_MODE="64"

 

Build steps

========

make distclean

./configure

make

Hi,

 

thanks for the hint - I upgraded everything to  the newest gcc and it seems to work - easy method.

I got still tons of warnings but if everything works fine I can accept that (still needs some testing).

 

The warning I get mostly look like this:

 

In file included from ../libclamav/matcher.h:29:0,
                 from ../libclamav/others.h:22,
                 from vba.h:24,

                                                 ^~
../libclamav/others.h:591:49: warning: left shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]
         ret |= (((const char *)buff)[5] & 0xff) << 40;

         ret |= (((const char *)buff)[7] & 0xff) << 56;
                                                 ^~

 

So my last wish is to package and that and provide it for download as a standard package of the AIX toolbox ;-)

 

Thanks a lot

Martin

Thanks - my top priority is security    and after the security problems of clamav prior 0.99.3 I needed an update   For now I should have some time untill the next security problem comes - hopefully.

Best wishes.

 

Oh, I forgot - clamav.net forum marked by bug report as a duplicate of a bug report for compile problems for AIX 5.3 ... that was not helpful.

I told them Your hint and sent them the warnings I got during compiling - but I dont think that anyone will invest any work for solving that little issue.

As long as the scanner works I can live with that.

clamav 0.100.2-1 is now available in AIX Toolbox. 

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/clamav/

Please use yum to install it since it has lot of dependencies.

Great!  You just saved me a bunch of time working on this (new workplace requirement just creeping in), but any particular reason you went with the 100.2 version from last October instead of the current stable version 0.101.1 ?  (i.e. compile issues? dependency hell? something else I should watch out for if I need to upgrade?)

Also, is clamav going to go on the regular update list given the nature of the tool, or is this a one-off?  Need to know what to expect when fresmclam starts screaming the version is out-of-date.

 

Originally posted by: AyappanP

Every quarter we have a list of packages to be updated. 

We started clamav porting work in October and 0.100.2 is the latest version at that time. 

I see clamav releases being aggressive. 3 releases in 4 months. Anyway we will try to update it every alternate quarter.

Release cycle workload - got it. Makes a lot of sense.  Thanks  for the response!

Related side-note.  You guys are doing a great job with the work you're doing.  It's really appreciated. :)

Hi,

 

thank You so much  . I will exchange my compiled version with yours and hopefully this will fullfill all my needs regarding antivirus tools.

Please keep up the good work.

 

Thanks a lot
