http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1220 Summary: force symlink to the man pages to avoid 'file exists' errors Product: PCRE Version: 8.30 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: Code AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Created an attachment (id=553) --> (http://bugs.exim.org/attachment.cgi?id=553) 'ln -s' → 'ln -sf' we build multilib packages by building for 32-bit and then 64-bit and installing both to the same DESTDIR. This generally works fine, but fails for pcre because of the way the Makefile creates the 16-bit names for the per function man pages. It uses 'ln -s' instead of 'ln -sf', so obviously the second installation fails. It is no problem at all if those symlinks already exist and the man pages themselves are happily overwritten, so I would propose that you use 'ln -sf'. Patch to implement this change attached.
