make check hangs for me even if it is the first thing I run in the Msys
cmd shell.
It fails after recreating the .exe files (which are already there
because I had run "make" before "make check")

To make the coff file, you need windres.exe which is in my MinGW/bin
directory.
I start with an .rc file which I concocted from something I saw online.
I run my rc through windres (in the Msys shell) to make a compatible rc
file:
$ windres slppcre.rc pcre.rc
Then I make the coff file like this:
$ cd pcre-7.0
$ windres ../pcre.rc pcre.coff
(which puts the coff file in the same place as everything else for
making pcre.dll)
This what my original slppcre.rc file looks like:
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 7, 0, 0, 0
PRODUCTVERSION 0, 0, 0, 0
FILEFLAGSMASK 0
FILEOS 0x40000
FILETYPE 1
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
BLOCK "040904E4"
{
VALUE "FileDescription", "pcre w utf8 ucp no-stack newline-any"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "refer to license"
VALUE "FileVersion", "use with PowerPro plugins"
VALUE "License", "PCRE is a library of functions to support regular
(truncating because email is going to add linebreaks...)"
VALUE "WWW", "
http://www.pcre.org"
}
}
}
I would be happy to zip up slppcre.rc, pcre.rc and pcre.coff if anyone
want them. We could update the file version and use a generic
FileDescription so a coff file could be included with the pcre distro. I
think for the CMake process, the original rc could be utilized.
