Try to install libpcre2-dev Or you may use source package from Debian repo: wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96-3.dsc wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96.orig.tar.xz wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96.orig.tar.xz.asc wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96-3.debian.tar.xz dpkg-source -x exim4_4.96-3.dsc cd exim4-4.96 dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc cd .. There are some additional patches in exim4-4.96/debian/patches. But you will have to install many more packages. These packages are for building packages: apt-get install -y dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential pbuilder quilt m4 make These packages are for dependency resolving: apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev docbook-xml docbook-xsl libdb5.3-dev libgnutls28-dev libident-dev libidn11-dev libidn2-dev libldap2-dev libpam0g-dev libpcre2-dev libperl-dev libpq-dev libsasl2-dev libspf2-dev libsqlite3-dev libx11-dev libxaw7-dev libxext-dev libxmu-dev libxt-dev lynx xsltproc -- Best wishes Victor Ustugov mailto:vic...@corvax.kiev.ua public GnuPG/PGP key: https://victor.corvax.kiev.ua/corvax.asc -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
