Autor: Robert Wishlaw Fecha: A: PCRE Asunto: [pcre-dev] BAD name PCRE_STATIC
I was experiencing the similar problems to those Sheri described

when trying to compile a Windows DLL with Pelle's C.
I had not added the define PCRE_STATIC to my build because I was not
building a STATIC library, I was building a DLL, so I assumed,
incorrectly, that the STATIC in PCRE_STATIC referred to a STATIC library.
When looking at the declspec defines I thought Richard Daniel had got it
backwards until I realized that the PRCE_STATIC define had to be used when
building a DLL but not when building a STATIC library.
In my opinion, the name of the define PCRE_STATIC should be changed to
PCRE_DLL.
declspec ... no wonder U**x developers hate Windows.
