Could you please try gvm-libs 10 to build openvas-scanner 6? Not sure if gvm-libs 11 is compatible.

Btw. you are hopefully aware that building software as root may be very very dangerous?

[afzouni]

thx, solved with using gvm-libs-10

also about root user: the openvas services is on docker, should I use another user instead of root?

@bjoernricks

[bjoernricks]

I just wanted to note that running software as root especially for building software may be very dangerous. If you are using short running docker instances this may be ok but nevertheless you should be aware of the risks.

[afzouni]

thx dear
