Dear Mentors I am preparing Debian packages for EMBOSS (the European Molecular Biology Software Suite, www.emboss.org), and I run in the following problem:
EMBOSS is shipped and built with its own copy of libpcre. As a result, the EMBOSS Debian package contains some files wich are also in the libpcre Debian package, and they conflict together. I would like to try to build EMBOSS with the libpcre from Debian, but I could not figure out how to do. Can somebody give me hints? EMBOSS uses the auto(make|conf) system - I do not understand the difference yet. The files for libpcre such as pcre.h are in the same directory as the files for a core EMBOSS library. I need to tell the program to use /usr/include/pcre.h and so on, but I have no clue on how to do this (I never programmed in C). Is there a documentation for solving that kind of problem? I beleive it should be recurrent in Debian...
