[Privoxy-devel] PATCH for pcre2 support

[Gagan Sidhu]

That doesn’t look right.

Your results are cached. You need to apply the patch and clear the existing autoconf variables since the configure script is different. 

I tried this patch before submitting and did not get that issue since I cleared old autoconf variables. 

Try that and report back.  But you can probably fix this in the generated makefile to see if the overall patch is okay. 


Thanks,
Gagan
