           Summary: Undefined reference to `_imp__pcre_compile' when using
                    DEV-C++
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 8.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: ph10@???

Hi

I am using DEV-C++ to create a small C application where I need to use Perl
compatible regular expressions. I have downloaded the PCRE 8.21 source files
and have created a DEV-C++ C project to build the PCRE code as a library. This
is successful, however when I link this library with my application I get the
following link error:

[Linker error] utils.o:utils.c:(.text+0x34e): undefined reference to
`_imp__pcre_compile'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
C:\Users\pch\Documents\Projects\PV0205\OAM\Makefile.win [Build Error]
[MDN-OAM.exe] Error 1 (if this is the only error: please check your library
includes)

As far as I can tell my application and the PCRE library are DEV-C++ C projects
so there should be no name mangling, and my project specifically includes the
PCRE library file I have created. Thus have you any ideas why the undefined
reference linkage error is occurring?

Many Thanks
Paul
