Re: [Clamav-users] [Fwd: 0.93.1 / libclamav: no CL_EMAX*-Error-Codes for Applications?]
|
|
Hello,
I attached a patch which gives the user the opportunity to build
libclamav for reporting the error-states CL_EMAX* and CL_EFORMAT.
to activate this feature, clamav-source-code must be compiled with
'-DCLAMAV_REPORT_ALL_ERRORS'.
The patch is backward-compatible: if compiling clamav with the patch and
without the define, you have the old behaviour.
is there a chance to integrate this patch in the official source-code?
Best,
Marcus
