Re: Cyrus IMAP 3.2.2 (Re: cyrus imap 2.5.5 build in Linux: problem with pcre)
Hi Sergey, Quoting out of order, because it's a bit easier to explain that way: > And there is another problem that is not obvious. -lpcreposix is needed > in perl/imap/Makefile.PL and in perl/sieve/managesieve/Makefile.PL I seems. This bit sounds a lot like https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/2629 There's an experimental patch from me in that issue, which seems to have worked around the issue for Fedora package maintainers. But I can't reproduce the problem on Debian, so I can't confirm myself that it fixes things correctly. More feedback would be great. > I returned to this question. 3.2.2 still does not find > /usr/include/pcre/pcre.h > > $ pkg-config --cflags libpcre > -I/usr/include/pcre > > Build is successful with CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/pcre" ./configure ... Cyrus's configure script does not currently use pkg-config to locate libpcre. Instead it uses bespoke detection built from AC_CHECK_HEADER, which I guess doesn't know to look in /usr/include/pcre. There might be a generic way for a sysadmin to add this path to the paths that AC_CHECK_HEADER checks, but I don't know it offhand. Otherwise, specifying it in CFLAGS like you have done seems like the right thing to do. The issue linked above also touches on the possibility of changing the libpcre detection to use pkg-config instead of bespoke detection, in which case this wouldn't be necessary, but it has its own complications. > Except perl/imap: CFLAGS is not used by Makefile.PL. Aaand this sounds like its own whole separate bug! I'm not sure offhand what the right way to pass this down will be, but it clearly needs doing.

No. I have not the sting "checking for utf8" in output of configure. I look into "configure" and found what $ac_cv_header_pcreposix_h="".

Re: cyrus imap 2.5.5 build in Linux: problem with pcre
Hi Sergey, Do you have pkg-config installed on your system? If not, does installing it help? Does your pcre library support utf8? Cyrus depends on a utf8-enabled pcre library. If your pcre library does not appear to support utf-8, then the configure script will find the headers but will decide to not use the library. Do you have a line in your configure output like "checking for utf8 enabled pcre..."? What does it say?

cyrus imap 2.5.5 build in Linux: problem with pcre
Hello. I built and run version 2.5.5 but I have some questions about build process. I will ask this in some different messages. I wanted to build Cyrus-IMAP with libpcre but it did not success. System libpcre-devel package install headers to /usr/include/pcre. I tried to replace pcreposix.h in configure.ac to pcre/pcreposix.h but it didn't yield results. "configure" found it: checking pcre/pcreposix.h usability... yes checking pcre/pcreposix.h presence... yes checking for pcre/pcreposix.h... yes but pcre missed in final configuration: External dependencies: ldap: yes openssl:yes pcre: no I'm not very familiar with autotools. What can I missed ? btw: "configure" contains "--with-bdb-incdir" option. I think what "--with-pcre-incdir" will be good. -- Regards, Sergey Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
