Hi Phillip,

You don't get a diff file when running the bat file for the tests, you
get testoutput files.

I just tried running

$ make check

and it seems to hang at the point of running the tests, I hit break
after 3 minutes or so. Here are the last few lines of output:

creating pcredemo.exe
make[2]: Leaving directory `/C/pcre-7.1-RC2'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/C/pcre-7.1-RC2'
make check-TESTS
make[1]: Entering directory `/C/pcre-7.1-RC2'
make[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Interrupt
make: *** [check-am] Interrupt

Unless I resolve this, I will send my testoutput files. To get them, I
put the libraries, pcretest.exe and the testdata dir into a directory
and ran RunTest.bat there.

BTW, the dll libraries get different names out of 7.2 RC2 than 7.0 and
6.7 (configured in msys). I am accustomed to seeing "pcre.dll" and
"pcreposix.dll". With 7.2 RC2 I am getting libpcre-0.dll and
libpcreposix-0.dll. Our application is linked to pcre.dll. I tried
renaming libpcre-0.dll to pcre.dll, and then our application complained
that it couldn't find pcreposix.dll. Our app didn't previously need a
separate pcreposix.dll (some of our older services use the posix api,
but previously everything was available in the pcre.dll which got
produced in the older configuration process). Renaming
libpcreposix-0.dll to pcreposix.dll and putting that on the same path
doesn't resolve the issue. I think pcreposix.dll is looking for
libpcre-0.dll.
