Installing OpenVAS Scanner : not installed yet.
Environment
Operating system: Linux Mint 20
Kernel: : Linux development-Macmini 5.4.0-88-generic #99-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 23 17:29:00 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Installation method / source: Source packages from GitHub: https:/ /github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner
Hello. I wanted to install GVM on Linux Mint 20. I used the package manager, but GVM was not available only openvas. Upon installation, I had to use the openvas commands (openvas-setup) instead of the gvm commands (ex. gvm-setup), and the setup would not complete.
So, I wanted to build it from source. I was successfully able to build some components as such:
# Do a system update and upgrade
sudo apt update & apt upgrade
# Install some required packages
sudo apt install bison cmake gcc gcc-mingw-w64 heimdal-dev libgcrypt20-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnutls28-dev libgpgme-dev libhiredis-dev libksba-dev libmicrohttpd-dev git libpcap-dev libpopt-dev libsnmp-dev libsqlite3-dev libssh-gcrypt-dev xmltoman libxml2-dev perl-base pkg-config python3-paramiko python3-setuptools uuid-dev curl redis doxygen libical-dev gnutls-bin install libboost-tools-dev magics++ libboost-all-dev libnet1-dev libjson-glib-dev

# To make gvm-libs in Mint 20, you need to have the Paho MQTT C Client installed or else you will recieve an error:

# Install OpenVAS Scanner

cd build

# FAILED!!!!
The build failed for openvas-smb and openvas-scanner. I’m not too worried about openvas-smb if I can use the other tools without it, since I do not use SMB or Samba. However, here is the error output from openvas-scanner.

It was going fine @78%, but seems that some problem referencing MQTTClient. ‘MQTTClient’ also caused a build error for gvm-libs, but I was able to finally install it from source via the instructions on: https:/ /cppcooking.blogspot.com/2020/10/mqtt-python-cc-client.html and that gvm-libs make and make install worked after that.
Can anyone offer a suggestion for completing this build. I’m at a loss, since I have the MQTTClient installed. I have tried to restart and try again with no luck.
