I am trying to build openvas-scanner from source after running cmake … and then make it stops 1% through with the error below:

Hi @mcrabb,

Searching on that error brought up the possibility of version number mismatches in components (including the libraries), so to rule that out you can compare what you have with:

New releases for GVM 20.08 and GVM 21.04 (current version numbers) and Building GVM 21.04 — Greenbone Documentation documentation (Greenbone source build guide)

This is an issue with newer versions of libglib2 (glib2 >= 2.68) and should be solved in the next major release of our software. If you want to have a deeper look see Search · org:greenbone g_memdup · GitHub

To turn the errors into warnings (which allows the build process to pass) you can also add a -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE to your cmake call like e.g.:

cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE

I was able to build the files with this.

Many thanks
