Hello,
I'm trying to compile exim-4.74 on RHEL4 with
pcre-4.5-4.el4_6.6
pcre-devel-4.5-4.el4_6.6
with an RPM-spec file that worked for the past releases, adapted all
changes to src/EDITME as Makefile, but I get:
gcc exim.c
exim.c: In function `show_whats_supported':
exim.c:935: error: `PCRE_PRERELEASE' undeclared (first use in this function)
exim.c:935: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
exim.c:935: error: for each function it appears in.)
exim.c:935: error: syntax error before string constant
make[1]: *** [exim.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/vrmd/redhat/BUILD/exim-4.74/build-Linux-i386'
make: *** [all] Error 2
PCRE_PRERELEASE is defined nowhere in /usr/include/pcre/* in release
pcre-4.5!
What shall I do? Does this exim release rely on newer PCRE releases?
pcre.h in CentOS 5 contains release
pcre-6.6-2.el5_1.7
pcre-devel-6.6-2.el5_1.7
where pcre.h contains
#define PCRE_PRERELEASE
Is it save to add this line to the pcre.h of the old release? Or does
this exim release use any features of the newer PCRE release?
