Thanks - not a program I am familiar with.
I made the VS solution from scratch to fit in to my environment. I actually make pcre.lib with one project and then the pcretest.exe that links in the library from another project, combined into one VS solution.
The main change to make it work was I have added "HAVE_CONFIG_H" as I didn't realize config.h wasn't included without that. On doing so, I had to comment out of config.h "#define EBCDIC 0" as this is actually defining it, even though the value is 0, which stops the compile with lines in pcre_compile.c like:-

#if defined EBCDIC && defined SUPPORT_UTF8
#error The use of both EBCDIC and SUPPORT_UTF8 is not supported.
#endif

I am still investigating further to try and work out which #define is affecting the result.

Thx
mart

cMake creates solution files for Visual Studio.
