- Significant codebase neglect has happened!
- configure isn't correctly working around missing things
- I halfassed the pcre shift so it depends on it being installed
- TL;DR on Deb/Ubuntu/Pop/Mint/etc, install:
- libmariadb-dev-compat
- libmariadb-server
- libpcre3-dev
- libssl-dev
- make
- a modern clang++ or g++
- No plans beyond basic maintenance.
