Hi Philip,

I'm sending you the output privately in case it is of any assistance.

Just for grins I tried running tests in the Msys (unix-like)
environment. Hadn't tried make check or make test after creating the
makefile with cmake. It didn't used to work after using configure/make.

You did see the previous message about a problem with pcrecpp unittest,
right? Nothing to do with readline.

$ make test
Running tests...

Test project C:/pcre-7.5/RC2-Readline

50% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 4

The following tests FAILED:
          1 - pcre_test (BAD_COMMAND)
          2 - pcrecpp_test (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
make: *** [test] Error 8


Sheri@XXX-XXXXXXXXXXX /c/pcre-7.5/RC2-Readline
$ make check
make: *** No rule to make target `check'. Stop.

Sheri@XXX-XXXXXXXXXXX /c/pcre-7.5/RC2-Readline

Strangely, if I run "sh RunTest", with the Readline version, pcretest
starts prompting for input. With the non-Readline version, it runs the
tests, but fails the French locale tests.

(again this is using Msys rather than the Windows command window.
Windows command window doesn't run sh).

Sheri
