Salix Forums

Hi all,

I am trying to compile clamav on salix 13.1.1 64bit but am running into compile problems.

I first tried install via a slackbuilds script but this complained about certain commands not found i.e.

--enable-id-check, --disable-static

So I tried compiling myself. I used ./configure --enable-check but it then came back with
I've googled around but there is no answer. So perhaps this is salix specific.

Do any of you know what is wrong?

tia for any light.

No idea what "check" is for, but you can try "--disable-check" if check is optional.

Hey thenktor

Do you have clamav installed. if so then how?

cheers

Is this output from configure really so puzzling?!

This lines says very clearly that you don't have check installed but asked to use it with "--enable-check".
If even gives you an URL, if you wanted to install it.
But as I read on that page that check is a unit testing framework it seems not exactly relevant unless you were developer or tester of clamav. So as thenktor pointed out just replace "--enable-check" with "--disable-check" and maybe start reading error message, because it doesn't only save our time but also yours.

Hi thanks for all the help.

I used --enable-check as looking through the clamav .pdf it said to. Not that I have used it before to install clamav in slackware. But I have always used the 32bit slack even on my 64bit system. So I thought I would give the 64bit a test. Not been easy. Anyway I installed 'check' this time it went ok. But clam is still not installed - for someover reason.

Anyway I am back to using slack13 - 32bit. Less dependency issues.

Again thanks

There should be no differences whatsoever conserning dependecies between 32bit and 64bit systems. No differences other than flash at all actually.

And Wine

Hi

Yes - wine has also been a problem.

Salix works well on my laptop though - but thats 32bit.

cheers

Don't bother with Wine if you can have VirtualBox

Ever ran VirtualDub in VirtualBox? In fact, that's the only reason why I installed wine on my 32Bit machine and don't do that stuff on my better 64Bit one.
