If your OS doesn't have that package, you can download it from <TT><A NAME="tex2html11" HREF="http://check.sourceforge.net/">http://check.sourceforge.net/</A></TT>, build it and install it. <P> To help clamav's configure script locate <code>check</code>, it is recommended that you install <code>pkg-config</code>, preferably using your OS's package manager, or from <TT><A NAME="tex2html12" HREF="http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org">http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org</A></TT>. <P> The recommended way to run unit-tests is the following, which ensures you will get an error if unit tests cannot be built: <A NAME="tex2html13" HREF="footnode.html#foot165"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">7</SPAN></SUP></A> <PRE> $ ./configure --enable-check $ make $ make check </PRE> <P> When <code>make check</code> is finished, you should get a message similar to this: <PRE> ================== All 8 tests passed ================== </PRE> <P> If a unit test fails, you get a message similar to the following. See the next section on how to report a bug when a unit test fails. <PRE> ======================================== 1 of 8 tests failed Please report to http://bugs.clamav.net/ ======================================== </PRE> <P> If unit tests are disabled (and you didn't use -enable-check), you will get this message: <PRE> *** Unit tests disabled in this build *** Use ./configure --enable-check to enable them SKIP: check_clamav PASS: check_clamd.sh PASS: check_freshclam.sh PASS: check_sigtool.sh PASS: check_clamscan.sh ====================== All 4 tests passed (1 tests were not run) ====================== </PRE> Running <code>./configure --enable-check</code> should tell you why. <P> <DIV CLASS="navigation"><HR> <!--Navigation Panel--> <A NAME="tex2html426" HREF="node18.html"> <IMG WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="next" SRC="next.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html422" HREF="node11.html"> <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="up" SRC="up.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html416" HREF="node16.html"> <IMG WIDTH="63" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="previous" SRC="prev.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html424" HREF="node1.html"> <IMG WIDTH="65" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="contents" SRC="contents.png"></A> <BR> <B> Next:</B> <A NAME="tex2html427" HREF="node18.html">Reporting a unit test</A> <B> Up:</B> <A NAME="tex2html423" HREF="node11.html">Installation</A> <B> Previous:</B> <A NAME="tex2html417" HREF="node16.html">Compilation with clamav-milter enabled</A> <B> <A NAME="tex2html425" HREF="node1.html">Contents</A></B> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> <ADDRESS> Tomasz Kojm 2010-05-19 </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
