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

Can't seem to find what's missing ... any ideas?
