Here is the trace when building PCRE 8.31 from Ubuntu sources: sudo dpkg-buildpackage

Use fresher version, like 8.34 . However, work is still being done for making JIT test OK on PCRE 8.34 on Ubuntu/PPC/LE (ABI issue). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270862 Title: libpcre3 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 : not ready for --enable-jit option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/1270862/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
