Hmmm, can't remember, guess the list needs "lists." before the SourceForge part, meh.

I hadn't ever tested ClamAV or FDAV, plus it was "off-list", not even including the original poster! (I know, Aitor is busy and backlogged, heh.) Anyways, I'm forwarding my new response to the list for further (public) comments. BTW, Blair is the FDAV expert, of course, but I haven't heard jack from him in ages. Not that we were ever really in contact or even know each other, just saying, he's "off the grid" (IMHO). ;-) >> From: Marcos Favero Florence de Barros <fav...@mpcnet.com.br> >> Date: 2010/7/15 >> Subject: [Freedos-user] Doubt about running FDAV >> To: FreeDOS List <freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> >> >> Are there written instructions on how to install FDAV and the >> required ClamAV files? >> >> I'm stuck in the following error message: >> >> FreeDOS Anti-Virus 0.2.2 >> Could not load virus database >> >> The DEPENDS.TXT file says that FDAV needs CWSDPMI and CLAMDB. >> >> So I downloaded the file CLAMDBX-0.95.3.ZIP, which sounded very >> database-ish because of the "DB" in its name. >> >> I was expecting to find some file called CLAMDB inside the zip >> file, but there was none (except for CLAMDB.LSM). I spent at least an hour today (under DOSEMU 32-bit) trying to get it to work. One thing I noticed is that it expects the *.cvd (database files) *AND* config files (??) in "/dev/env/DOSDIR/lib", which is DJGPP speak for whatever directory your %DOSDIR% env. var. points to with "/lib" appended. I eventually gave up because it would finally find both database and config files but still not work. I tried various things, but without looking closer at the sources proper, I don't know why it isn't working. Perhaps if I installed it the dumb default way in "/bin/" and "/lib/" it would work, but I doubt it. Oh well, just a heads up. CLAMCONF.EXE is most likely needed to generate correct config files, so check there second, after you "set DOSDIR" properly. Other than that, I dunno (for now). Maybe the man files tell more, but a lot of it was just *nix gobbledegook to me (esp. stuff probably not needed just for local, offline scanning). Sorry, but maybe someone else knows more. (I am human too, heh, can only take so much frustration with stupid computers before giving up for the night, heh.) P.S.
