Ok - Its really my mistake for not including HAVE_CONFIG_H define in the project. Without it, the code would not compile and to resolve that, I had edited pcre_internal.h and added config.h to it (sorry I didn't mention that but I forgot myself). That resolved the compile/build but it does not function identically to adding the HAVE_CONFIG_H. Really, the compile sequence is very sensitive. I noticed for instance that pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c does not contain #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include config.h"
#endif
Prior to the reference to #include "pcre_internal.h"- I assume this is a mistake since it's the only real difference I can see to placing config.h directly in pcre_internal.h and adding #define HAVE_CONFIG_H.
At least at this point I can progress.
Thanks

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.
