I (Philip Hazel) have no knowledge of Windows or VMS sytems and how their |
| 5 |
|
|
libraries work. The items in the PCRE distribution and Makefile that relate to |
| 6 |
|
|
anything other than Unix-like systems have been contributed by PCRE users and |
| 7 |
|
|
are untested by me. |

If you want to compile PCRE for a non-Unix system (or perhaps, more strictly, |
| 15 |
nigel |
75 |
for a system that does not support "configure" and "make" files), note that |
| 16 |
nigel |
87 |
the basic PCRE library consists entirely of code written in Standard C, and so |
| 17 |
|
|
should compile successfully on any system that has a Standard C compiler and |
| 18 |
|
|
library. The C++ wrapper functions are a separate issue (see below). |

GENERIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE C LIBRARY |
| 22 |
nigel |
75 |
|
| 23 |
|
|
The following are generic comments about building PCRE. The interspersed |
| 24 |
|
|
indented commands are suggestions from Mark Tetrode as to which commands you |
| 25 |
|
|
might use on a Windows system to build a static library. |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
nigel |
93 |
(1) Copy or rename the file config.h.in as config.h, and change the macros that |
| 28 |
nigel |
43 |
define HAVE_STRERROR and HAVE_MEMMOVE to define them as 1 rather than 0. |
| 29 |
|
|
Unfortunately, because of the way Unix autoconf works, the default setting has |
| 30 |
nigel |
53 |
to be 0. You may also want to make changes to other macros in config.h. In |
| 31 |
|
|
particular, if you want to force a specific value for newline, you can define |
| 32 |
|
|
the NEWLINE macro. The default is to use '\n', thereby using whatever value |
| 33 |
|
|
your compiler gives to '\n'. |
| 34 |
nigel |
41 |
|
| 35 |

rem Mark Tetrode's commands |
| 36 |

93 |
copy config.h.in config.h |
| 37 |
nigel |
75 |
rem Use write, because notepad cannot handle UNIX files. Change values. |
| 38 |
|
|
write config.h |
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
nigel |
87 |
(2) Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program, and then run it with |
| 41 |
nigel |
85 |
the single argument "pcre_chartables.c". This generates a set of standard |
| 42 |
nigel |
73 |
character tables and writes them to that file. |

THE C++ WRAPPER FUNCTIONS |
| 126 |
|
|
|
| 127 |
|
|
The PCRE distribution now contains some C++ wrapper functions and tests, |
| 128 |
|
|
contributed by Google Inc. On a system that can use "configure" and "make", |
| 129 |
|
|
the functions are automatically built into a library called pcrecpp. It should |
| 130 |
|
|
be straightforward to compile the .cc files manually on other systems. The |
| 131 |
|
|
files called xxx_unittest.cc are test programs for each of the corresponding |
| 132 |
|
|
xxx.cc files. |

FURTHER REMARKS |
| 136 |
|
|
|
| 137 |
nigel |
41 |
If you have a system without "configure" but where you can use a Makefile, edit |
| 138 |
|
|
Makefile.in to create Makefile, substituting suitable values for the variables |
| 139 |
|
|
at the head of the file. |

Michael Roy sent these comments about building PCRE under Windows with BCC5.5: |
| 146 |
|
|
|
| 147 |
|
|
Some of the core BCC libraries have a version of PCRE from 1998 built in, |
| 148 |
|
|
which can lead to pcre_exec() giving an erroneous PCRE_ERROR_NULL from a |
| 149 |
|
|
version mismatch. I'm including an easy workaround below, if you'd like to |
| 150 |
|
|
include it in the non-unix instructions: |
| 151 |
|
|
|
| 152 |
|
|
When linking a project with BCC5.5, pcre.lib must be included before any of |
| 153 |
|
|
the libraries cw32.lib, cw32i.lib, cw32mt.lib, and cw32mti.lib on the command |
| 154 |
|
|
line. |

Some help in building a Win32 DLL of PCRE in GnuWin32 environments was |
| 157 |
nigel |
63 |
contributed by Paul Sokolovsky. These environments are Mingw32 |
| 158 |
|
|
(http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/) and CygWin |
| 159 |
|
|
(http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/). Paul comments: |
| 160 |
nigel |
41 |
|
| 161 |
|
|
For CygWin, set CFLAGS=-mno-cygwin, and do 'make dll'. You'll get |
| 162 |
|
|
pcre.dll (containing pcreposix also), libpcre.dll.a, and dynamically |
| 163 |
|
|
linked pgrep and pcretest. If you have /bin/sh, run RunTest (three |
| 164 |
|
|
main test go ok, locale not supported). |
| 165 |
|
|
|
| 166 |
nigel |
63 |
Changes to do MinGW with autoconf 2.50 were supplied by Fred Cox |
| 167 |
|
|
<sailorFred@yahoo.com>, who comments as follows: |
| 168 |
|
|
|
| 169 |
|
|
If you are using the PCRE DLL, the normal Unix style configure && make && |
| 170 |
|
|
make check && make install should just work[*]. If you want to statically |
| 171 |
|
|
link against the .a file, you must define PCRE_STATIC before including |
| 172 |
|
|
pcre.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc and pcre_free exported functions will be |
| 173 |
|
|
declared __declspec(dllimport), with hilarious results. See the configure.in |
| 174 |
|
|
and pcretest.c for how it is done for the static test. |
| 175 |
|
|
|
| 176 |
|
|
Also, there will only be a libpcre.la, not a libpcreposix.la, as you |
| 177 |
|
|
would expect from the Unix version. The single DLL includes the pcreposix |
| 178 |
|
|
interface. |
| 179 |
|
|
|
| 180 |
|
|
[*] But note that the supplied test files are in Unix format, with just LF |
| 181 |
|
|
characters as line terminators. You will have to edit them to change to CR LF |
| 182 |
|
|
terminators. |
| 183 |
|
|
|
| 184 |
|
|
A script for building PCRE using Borland's C++ compiler for use with VPASCAL |
| 185 |
|
|
was contributed by Alexander Tokarev. It is called makevp.bat. |

These are some further comments about Win32 builds from Mark Evans. They |

they may no longer be relevant. |

some things missing. |

(1) Must #define STATIC for entire project if linking statically. |

|
|
| 199 |
|
|
(2) Missing some #ifdefs relating to the function pointers |
| 200 |
|
|
pcre_malloc and pcre_free. See my solution below. (The stubs |
| 201 |

may not be mandatory but they made me feel better.)" |

BUILDING PCRE ON OPENVMS |

79 |
Dan Mooney sent the following comments about building PCRE on OpenVMS. They |
| 226 |
|
|
relate to an older version of PCRE that used fewer source files, so the exact |
| 227 |
|
|
commands will need changing. See the current list of source files above. |
| 228 |

75 |

"It was quite easy to compile and link the library. I don't have a formal |
| 230 |
|
|
make file but the attached file [reproduced below] contains the OpenVMS DCL |
| 231 |
|
|
commands I used to build the library. I had to add #define |
| 232 |
|
|
POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD 10 to pcre.h since it was not defined anywhere. |
| 233 |
|
|
|
| 234 |
|
|
The library was built on: |

|
|
O/S: HP OpenVMS v7.3-1 |
| 236 |
|

| 237 |
|
|
Linker: vA13-01 |
| 238 |
|
|
|
| 239 |
|
|
The test results did not match 100% due to the issues you mention in your |
| 240 |
|
|
documentation regarding isprint(), iscntrl(), isgraph() and ispunct(). I |
| 241 |
|
|
modified some of the character tables temporarily and was able to get the |
| 242 |
|
|
results to match. Tests using the fr locale did not match since I don't have |
| 243 |

that locale loaded. The study size was always reported to be 3 less than the |
