Typically, a build is done this way from ClamAV


Build ClamAV
First, make a "build" subdirectory. This will enable you to easily delete your build files if something goes wrong and you need to re-configure and try again.

mkdir build && cd build

Next, select the build options you desire. For a full list of configuration options, see the "Custom CMake options" section in the INSTALL.md file included with the source code.

To help you get started, here are some popular build configurations.

The Default Build
The default build type is RelWithDebInfo, that is "Release mode with Debugging symbols". It will install to /usr/local.


cmake ..
cmake --build .
ctest
sudo cmake --build . --target install
