Bug 268309 – app-antivirus/clamav-0.95.* claims to bundle libtommath

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nathan Phillip Brink (binki) (RETIRED) 2009-05-02 15:56:15 UTC]

clamav-0.95 claims to bundle and link with an internal libtommath unless if a --with-system-tommath is passed. It also claims that the dependency on l=dev-libs/gmp is gone (while clamav-0.95*.ebuild DEPENDs on gmp). 

The dependence on gmp in the ebuild looked like it's automagic too -- the DEPEND is conditional on the crypt useflag without passing --without-gmp (or similar) to ./configure when crypt wasn't set. see bug 268302

libtommath is bundled somewhat obscurely (concerning filename) in libclamav/bignum.c . libclamav.so even exports a few symbols, like mp_clear, which libtommath.so (from libtommath-0.36.1) exports.

a simple patch to allow use of system-libtommath

sorry for not creating this patch earlier. If installing clamav with this patch, I can see that clamav binaries to use the system libtommath lib:

 $ ldd $(which clamd)   
<text cut>
      libtommath.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libtommath.so.0 (0x00007faa79825000)
<text cut>
