Hi all,
Compiling Exim 4.96 fails on Devuan 4.0 Chimaera (basically Debian but
without systemd).
Firstly it complained that I didn't have "pcre2.h" - which it has never
asked for before:
/bin/sh ../scripts/Configure-os.h
cc -DMACRO_PREDEF macro_predef.c
In file included from macro_predef.c:12:
exim.h:527:10: fatal error: pcre2.h: No such file or directory
527 | #include <pcre2.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
so I did:
root@relay1:/home/mike/exim-4.96# apt-cache search pcre2

Now hen I compile I get:
cc spool_mbox.c
cc arc.c
cc bmi_spam.c
cc dane.c
cc dcc.c
cc dmarc.c
cc imap_utf7.c
cc spf.c
cc utf8.c
cc version.c
cc -o exim
Can't seem to find what's missing ... any ideas?
Are you trying to build the Exim.org or the Debian way ?
If Debian, I would start with
sudo apt-get build-dep exim4
which ought to install the dependencies for you.
---------------------------------
I note that between 4.95 and 4.96
src/EDITME
changes include:
471,472c471,472
< PCRE_CONFIG=yes
< # PCRE_LIBS=-lpcre
---
PCRE2_CONFIG=yes
# PCRE_LIBS=-lpcre2
Have you included this change in exim-4.96/Local/Makefile ?
If you are using the Exim source, do you have
pcre2-config
in your path ?
Unfortunately your build logs seem to hide the link line arguments,
so I cannot see how it is trying to include the pcre2 library.
doing a "make clean" and a "make" results in:
<snip> // lots of good stuff
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc perl.c
cc malware.c
cc mime.c
cc regex.c
cc spam.c
cc spool_mbox.c
cc arc.c
cc bmi_spam.c
cc dane.c
cc dcc.c
cc dmarc.c
cc imap_utf7.c
cc spf.c
cc utf8.c
cc version.c
cc -o exim
I would like to see the arguments to the line above :-)
