Rebuilding exim /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

[Indominus]

cc -o exim
/bin/ld: malware.o: undefined reference to symbol 'pcre_free_substring'
/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/exim-4.94.2/build-Linux-x86_64'
make: *** [all] Error 2



Does anyone have any useful insight as on how to fix this?

DA drop support on version lower than 4.95 due it incomparitive with exim_conf.

Trying build 4.95 or 4.96 insteadly.

Ok fixed it,

For those who may encounter the same issue;
I had a custom exim entry within the /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom_versions.txt file.
Removing the file and rebuilding now works.


Rookie mistake, shame. :<

Do you have a custom version in custom_versions.txt?

I did indeed! Also edited my post but I see that your reply was before mine.

thanks!
