Warning message:

After searching Makefile.all:35: recipe for target 'libjri.so' failed, several lib are added. [1]

1
2
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev zlib1g-dev

But the error still exists, and I check the returned error again and find one line /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre2-8, which seems to remind us one lib can not be found.

Then I find a solution to resolve this error.[2] Although I have installed libpcre2-8-0, compiler still can not find it. So I relink libpcre2-8.so to where .so file really is.

1
ln -s ./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0.3.0 libpcre2-8.so

Then the problem is solved.
