Compilation

Once you have created the clamav user and group, please extract the archive:

	$ zcat clamav-x.yz.tar.gz | tar xvf -
	$ cd clamav-x.yz

Assuming you want to install the configuration files in /etc, configure the package as follows:

	$ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc

Currently gcc is required for the compilation. Support for other compilers will be added in the near future.

	$ make
	$ su -c "make install"

In the last step software is installed in the /usr/local directory and the config file goes to /etc. WARNING: Never enable the SUID or SGID bits in Clam AntiVirus binaries.
