If you can't upgrade to a newer gcc, you can also use an older gcc that
doesn't have this bug:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS provides gcc-3.4:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/devel/gcc-3.4

# apt-get install gcc-3.4

See clamav bug #613: https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=613

The source code does specific bounds checks that this compiler
incorrectly removes.
If you compile ClamAV with a compiler that fails either of the 3 gcc bug
tests in configure,
the resulting binary may be subject to a buffer-overflow.

Hi,
I have the same thing happening a my MacBookPro. I get this message also:
checking for gcc bug PR28045... configure: error: your compiler has
gcc PR28045 bug, use a different compiler, see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28045

I'm using xcode_2.4.1_8m and I'm downloading xcode_3.0 to hopefully
resolve this issue and hopefully that Apple updated gcc on this newer
xcode. Any other Mac people seen this issue?

Thank you,
Frank

Just got the same error running os x 10.4.11 (ppc).
Haven't tried under 10.5 yet...
Re-installed clam 0.91.2 and all is well again.

Robert.

I have the last version of XCode installed under Leopard.
Just wanted to install on a 10.5.1 Server 0.92 and get the same error
after running configure.

Do I need to install gcc 4.2.2?
Can that just be downloaded and installed?

Thanks and all the best

Matthias

On most systems you can download and compile gcc from source. You
would probably use an older gcc to compile it but it might work with
other compilers. It takes quite a long time to compile and test it,
so many people just get binaries. I don't know what the situation is
on the Mac, but I would guess that you have both options but that the
binaries would come from Apple and might be a bit out of date. The
gcc site should tell you what you need to do to build from source.

If you don't want to risk breaking anything you can build the compiler
in your home directory and just use it to compile ClamAV. That's what
I do on servers with which I don't want to mess around with too much.

I've successfully compiled ClamAV with gcc 4.2.2 quite recently.

i can confirm, that matthias additional flag let's gcc on apple
platforms compile clamav. as it seems, this flag is just necessary on
intel based macs. like with older versions of clamd (not clamscan)
i've one bug bugging me: from time to time (usually every 1,5-3 days
on my mail server hosting several domains) clamd crashs while
scanning the attachements, but staying alive and using all available
cpu time. a simple kill -9 brings all back. but how annoying…

as it seems, this bug also just occurs on intel based macs.

Hello,

you guys are all top posting ... so I do as well.

my box is a G4 dual - a bit old, but a good working horse ;-)

gcc 4.2.2 doesn't compile on MacPPC (throws an error 1 and 2)
I've found some information on the net that 4.2.3 does compile (it's RC
and currently building)

But maybe I should just try to use the option $ CFLAGS="-O0" ./
configure as suggested.

I guess I can just install the current clamAV 0.92 over the version,
which was shipped with Leopard?
I still didn't configure anything.

thanks and all the best
Matthias

An option which works on Linux and may work within the Terminal is to order or
command the gcc compiler to NOT use compiler optimizations.

Try this:

am definitely waiting at least until 10.5.2 before doing the switch.

Matthias, did you try adding CFLAGS="-O0" to your ./configure
command? Eg:

./configure --enable-experimental CFLAGS="-O0"

This worked for me when I was getting the same errors. See the
threads on this list on 11 and 12 January.

HTH,

James.

don't install another version of gcc, if you don't want to toast your
system ;-)

yes I did, and it works :-)
But in the moment I'm suspicious, if I just can install 0.92 savely over
the version shipped by Apple with 10.5.1 Server.


Thanks and all the best

Matthias
