Building ClamAV on Solaris 11.4 using solaris-userland

Well, I have started moving all the software I use over to solaris-userland builds so next in line after my last blog of building FFmpeg is ClamAV. The reason for this it speed the process of build, IPS Build and install for packages which have a quick release schedule.

Building and Packaging FFmpeg on Solaris 11.4

FFmpeg is a suite of libraries and programs for handling video, audio and for a Solaris 11 desktop user it is required for video in your Firefox. At the moment it does not come with Solaris you will need to build it yourself.

This guide will take you through building FFmpeg, creating a Package and then installing it. There has been a recent blog entry about  building Opensource on Solaris (by Chris Beal), which use the github.com/oracle/solaris-userland as the base, but I will not follow this example at this time. May be at a later date.
