           Summary: pcrecpp usage as static lib and MSVC 2008
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 7.9
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW

          Priority: low
         Component: Code

Hi all,

Including pcrecpp.h in my projet, I get compil errors like :

1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport)
public: __thiscall pcrecpp::RE::RE(class std::basic_string<char,struct
std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &)"
(__imp_??0RE@pcrecpp@@QAE@ABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@Z)
referenced in function "public: static bool __cdecl RegEx::Match(class
std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char>
>,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class
std::allocator<char> >,bool)"
(?Match@RegEx@@SA_NV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@0_N@Z)


There are two way to fix them :

* First one is to use a define before including the file
#define PCRE_STATIC 1
#include <pcrecpp.h>

* Second one is to use /clr option in the projet configuration.

I would like to know why the #define is necessary, because I compile PCRE as
static lib using Cmake.
I did not saw anything about that in the documentation.

Whatever, thanks for this good library :-)

Regards,
     Vincent.
