Re: [pcre-dev] 7.4-RC1 test release (doesn't build)

Hi Philip,

I'm having trouble making the 7.4 RC1 test release in Msys.

Here is my configure line (one line):

../pcre-7.4-RC1/configure --prefix=$PWD/../prefix --enable-utf8
--enable-new
line-is-anycrlf --enable-bsr-anycrlf --enable-unicode-properties
--disable-stac
k-for-recursion --disable-cpp

which ultimately gives a summary that looks like this:

pcre-7.4-RC1 configuration summary:

    Install prefix ........... : /c/pcre-7.4/build-RC1-Msys/../prefix
    C preprocessor ........... : gcc -E
    C compiler ............... : gcc
    C++ preprocessor ......... : g++ -E
    C++ compiler ............. : g++
    Linker ................... : c:/mingw/mingw32/bin/ld.exe
    C preprocessor flags ..... :
    C compiler flags ......... : -O2
    C++ compiler flags ....... : -O2
    Linker flags ............. :
    Extra libraries .......... :

    Build C++ library ........ : no
    Enable UTF-8 support ..... : yes
    Unicode properties ....... : yes
    Newline char/sequence .... : anycrlf
    \R matches only ANYCRLF .. : yes
    EBCDIC coding ............ : no
    Rebuild char tables ...... : no
    Use stack recursion ...... : no
    POSIX mem threshold ...... : 10
    Internal link size ....... : 2
    Match limit .............. : 10000000
    Match limit recursion .... : MATCH_LIMIT
    Build shared libs ........ : yes
    Build static libs ........ : yes

But then when I run

$ make

It just does this over and over:

cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status Makefile depfiles
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: executing depfiles commands

The only thing getting updated is config.log.

Near the bottom, I see this (over and over)

## ---------------------- ##
## Running config.status. ##
## ---------------------- ##

This file was extended by PCRE config.status 7.4-RC1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. Invocation command line was

  CONFIG_FILES    =
  CONFIG_HEADERS  =
  CONFIG_LINKS    =
  CONFIG_COMMANDS =
  $ ./config.status Makefile depfiles

on xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx

config.status:689: creating Makefile
config.status:976: executing depfiles commands
