Thank you for reporting this. It turns out not to be Windows-specific, so I
can't use the "I'm not a Windows user" excuse. The same problem occurs when
building in a directory well out of the source directory on Linux. However,
a bug in the RunTest script prevented this failure from being reported, so
"make check" ran clean when it should not have. *That* bug is easily fixed,
but I am still pondering what to do about testing the #loadtables feature
of pcre2test. I will have to invent some way of passing the source
directory into pcre2test, or, alternatively, copying the relevant file into
the current directory before running the test, which might be the way to
go. This is quite timely, because 10.36-RC1 is currently available for
testing so it would be good to get this fixed before the actual 10.36
release.
Regards,
Philip
