I didn't see any of this dialog - don't know why - thanks for forwarding the email.
Basically, I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and so comments about cMake are not directly comparable although a good pointer where to look.
I need to know/find what the main build difference recommendation is to see if there is a comparable change needed for VS2008.
I did use a clean set of code/source dir though.
Thx
mart

Mart,
Did you see that response from Sheri on pcre-dev? I'm copying this
message to you in case you didn't.

There's the difference. The compiled code is not the same. Something is
going wrong during the building. I think the next thing to try must be
Sheri's suggestion.
