I compile ClamAV on Solaris by myself, and I use script with proper options. In Ubuntu and other Linux systems are proper packages with ClamAV and Freshclam.

Below is my compilation script for Solaris 10 on SPARC with SunStudio:


#!/bin/sh
#
# for GCC:
#CC=gcc
#CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=v9"
#MAKE=gmake
#
# for Sun Studio
CC=cc
CXX=CC
CFLAGS="-xO2 -native"
CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib"
MAKE=gmake

export CC CFLAGS CPPFLAGS MAKE DMAKE_MODE
export CXX CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS LIBS

# $CC -v
$CC -V
set|grep PATH
set|grep FLAGS

KAT="clamav"
VER="0.97.5"

cd "$KAT-$VER"

tn="n"
echo "============================================="
echo "$MAKE clean [y|n] ?"
read tn
if [ "$tn" = "Y" ] || [ "$tn" = "y" ]; then
  $MAKE distclean || $MAKE realclean || $MAKE clean

  rm -f config.status
  rm -f config.log
fi;

tn="n"
echo "============================================="
echo "configure [y|n] ?"
read tn
if [ "$tn" = "Y" ] || [ "$tn" = "y" ]; then
        ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr/local/$KAT-$VER \
        --infodir=/usr/local/info --mandir=/usr/local/man \
        --sysconfdir=/data/etc/$KAT \
        --localstatedir=/data/var/$KAT \
        --disable-clamav \
        --with-user=amavis --with-group=amavis \

fi;

tn="n"
echo "============================================="
echo "$MAKE [y|n] ?"
read tn
if [ "$tn" = "Y" ] || [ "$tn" = "y" ]; then
  $MAKE && echo "Compilation successful"
fi;
