Public bug reported: For the C++ PCRE library, there is no development package.
For instance, the libpcre3-dev package contains headers, development libraries, and the pcre-config shell script. There is no such equivalent package for the C++ library. An example: It looks like no package in either ubuntu or debian contains the pcre++-config script, which is needed to build C++ applications that use the library. This makes building libopkele (an OpenID C++ library) somewhat difficult. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: - For the C++ PCRE bindings, there is no development package. + For the C++ PCRE library, there is no development package.
