Compiling PCRE on non-Unix systems
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to compile PCRE for a non-Unix system, note that it consists
|
|
entirely of code written in Standard C, and so should compile successfully
|
|
on any machine with a Standard C compiler and library, using normal compiling
|
|
commands to do the following:
|
|
|
|
(1) Copy or rename the file config.in as config.h, and change the macros that
|
|
define HAVE_STRERROR and HAVE_MEMMOVE to define them as 1 rather than 0.
|
|
Unfortunately, because of the way Unix autoconf works, the default setting has
|
|
to be 0.
|
|
|
|
(2) Copy or rename the file pcre.in as pcre.h, and change the macro definitions
|
|
for PCRE_MAJOR, PCRE_MINOR, and PCRE_DATE near its start to the values set in
|
|
configure.in.
|
|
|
|
(3) Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program, and then run it with
|
|
the standard output sent to chartables.c. This generates a set of standard
|
|
character tables.
|
|
|
|
(4) Compile maketables.c, get.c, study.c and pcre.c and link them all
|
|
together into an object library in whichever form your system keeps such
|
|
libraries. This is the pcre library (chartables.c gets included by means of an
|
|
#include directive).
|
|
|
|
(5) Similarly, compile pcreposix.c and link it as the pcreposix library.
|
|
|
|
(6) Compile the test program pcretest.c. This needs the functions in the
|
|
pcre and pcreposix libraries when linking.
|
|
|
|
(7) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check
|
|
that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. You must use the
|
|
-i option when checking testinput2.
|
|
|
|
If you have a system without "configure" but where you can use a Makefile, edit
|
|
Makefile.in to create Makefile, substituting suitable values for the variables
|
|
at the head of the file.

Some help in building a Win32 DLL of PCRE in GnuWin32 environments was
|
|
contributed by Paul.Sokolovsky@technologist.com. These environments are
|
|
Mingw32 (http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/) and
|
|
CygWin (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/). Paul comments:
|
|
|
|
For CygWin, set CFLAGS=-mno-cygwin, and do 'make dll'. You'll get
|
|
pcre.dll (containing pcreposix also), libpcre.dll.a, and dynamically
|
|
linked pgrep and pcretest. If you have /bin/sh, run RunTest (three
|
|
main test go ok, locale not supported).
