I am not entirely sure what this error refers to, but looking at the
source of pcregrep I see that, on a Windows system only, there is a
reference to pcregrep_exit() before it is defined. This does not occur
for non-Windows systems. I *think* this must be the problem. I have
committed a patch that moves the definition to before the reference, and
this will be in release 8.12 that I hope to put out within the next few
days.
If you want to try it yourself, cut out lines 567-589 in pcregrep.c, and
re-insert them before line 298. If you can confirm that this fixes the
problem, that would be useful to know. Thanks.
