Folks, I have received the message below. As I am not a Windows user, I
have no way of judging whether it is a useful addition to PCRE or not.
Please can the Windows experts among you take a look? I think that
attachments won't make it to the mailing list, so I have put the two
files that Davide submitted here:
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Testing/winpatch
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Testing/winmakfile
Is it worth having (and maintaining) yet another way of building PCRE?
Regards,
Philip

Hi Philip,
I find myself in having to use PCRE on Windows sometimes, and I keep
around those two patches that allows me to build using MSVC.
To apply:
$ patch -p1 < config-win
$ patch -p1 < winmakfile
On Windows, once the command line enviroment is properly set:
C:> nmake /f makefile.win CFG={debug, release}
Instead of touching the Unix config.h file, a dedicated winconfig.h file
is introduced, and all the instances of:
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include "config.h"
#endif
are replaced with:
#include "sysconfig.h"
Inside sysconfig.h you handle system dependency:
#if defined(HAVE_CONFIG_H)
#include "config.h"
#elif defined(HAVE_WINCONFIG_H)
#include "winconfig.h"
#endif
The included Windows makefile builds static and shared libraries for PCRE
and PCREPOSIX.
Feel free to use them in any way you like.
