If you mean this part : ** This version drops the special support for Cygwin. Our QA process showed ** serious problems with ClamAV builds under Cygwin due to some low-level ** incompatibilities in the POSIX compatibility layer, resulting in unreliable ** ClamAV behaviour. It sounds like non-sense to me, version 0.94rc1 works fine, and both versions build fine. The above statement seems to come from somebody that didn't even test, didn't look at what 'make check' was doing, and didn't really care. "serious problems" ? Only problem is the test I mentioned, passing a file descriptor is not supported under Cygwin as far as I know. "unreliable behaviour" ? Does that mean the distribution/use of older bzip2 libraries? The warning at configure time is clear, I'm not sure it is correct, the CVE says "before 1.0.5", Cygwin uses 1.0.5 . And the gem: "incompatibilties in ... compatibility layer"; it is or it isn't compatible? The Cygwin folks make an effort for being POSIX compatible. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
