           Summary: DJGPP 2.04 beta/Windows XP SP3 `configure' script error
           Product: PCRE
           Version: N/A
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: low
         Component: Code
        AssignedTo: ph10@???

I am using DJGPP 2.04 beta on Windows XP SP3 and I have a small difficulty when
installing 8.02. My options are "--enable-utf8 --enable-newline-is-cr
--disable-shared --prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR --build=i686-pc-msdosdjgpp". The
`configure' script runs but stops before creating the makefiles etc. Here is
the output:
(snip)...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
gawk: ./confVMDvjR/subs.awk:1: BEGIN {\r
gawk: ./confVMDvjR/subs.awk:1:        ^ backslash not last character on line
config.status: error: could not create Makefile
...(snip).
I am still able to build but I next have to manually edit the top level
`config.site' script by changing the initial value of the variable `ac_cr' from
the null string to '\r'. After changing the variable's initial value I run the
`config.site' script and it creates the makefiles, etc.. Then I can run `make
all' and the package builds normally. When I run the tests four of five tests
fail. I am using a Perl external to DJGPP (AS ActivePerl version 1007). When I
installed the same version using MinGW/MSYS the script did not raise this error
so I suspect that it only happens in DJGPP on Windows XP systems. I have not
tried to compile with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
