PCRE builds just fine on a huge range of platforms including
- x86-linux
- hp-ux (both itanium and PA-RISC)
- sun
- ibm ppc
- alpha osf1 (except for the C++ APIs which are confused about 'long
long')
Unfortunately, I also need a windows build. We are using either cygwin or
MKS on windows, BUT depending on the Visual Studio
2003 (or better) compiler, not the cygwin gcc.
I've managed to cajole the PCRE configure to almost work with the addition
of appropriate environment variable definitions of
CC, CXX, LD, AR to point to appropriate VC executables or MKS files.
But the shared libraries won't build because configure doesn't understand
how to create shared libraries or pic code as far
as I can tell. And the final link steps for pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe
fail because libtool appears to pass the .la files to cl.exe
in a way that confuses it.
Any chance that a 7.5 windows build or pre-built package is likely to
surface in the next few weeks?
Thanks,
Al Lehotsky

Use available CMake build option - it supports Windows, including x64.
