which should work with Express. I just tried building the newly released
PCRE 7.9 with static libraries on VS 2005 Express and it worked fine.
Refer to the Non-Unix-Use text file in the pcre distribution (However,
with latest cmake, you can use newer cmake-gui instead of the CMakeSetup
if you wish). For linking with other software, you can look at how
pcretest and pcregrep are linked.
