Hi Nicholas,

I am also compiling ClamAV into a library and opening it with a dlopen() 
call. The technique I use is:

/configure
make

I then merge together the different ClamAV libs using this command:

ld -shared -o clamav.lib clamav-0.94.2/libclamav/.libs/libclamav.a 
clamav-0.94.2/libclamunrar_iface/.libs/libclamunrar_iface.a 
clamav-0.94.2/libclamunrar/.libs/libclamunrar.a -lbz2 -lgmp -lpthread -lz

Which creates a file called clamav.lib that can be passed to dlopen().

There are a couple of notes. Which libraries you dynamically link 
against when using ld will vary depending on your platform and how 
ClamAV configures itself. For example, on my system I don't actually 
link against pthread specifically because I know the program I'm using 
is already linked against the pthread library. On Cent OS 4/Red Hat 
Enterprise 4 specifically, I need to pass the --disable-zlib-vcheck 
parameter to configure and I need to manually edit the libclamav 
makefiles to pass -O1 instead of -O2 to gcc or all of the free() calls 
will be optimized away inside the cl_free() function. See this bug for 
details:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490253

If anyone knows of a better way to do this, or finds any problems with 
using ClamAV this way, please let me know...

Ladar
