Compiling PCRE on non-Unix systems |
| 2 |
|
|
---------------------------------- |
| 3 |
|
|
|
| 4 |
|
|
If you want to compile PCRE for a non-Unix system, note that it consists |
| 5 |
|
|
entirely of code written in Standard C, and so should compile successfully |
| 6 |
|
|
on any machine with a Standard C compiler and library, using normal compiling |
| 7 |
|
|
commands to do the following: |
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
nigel |
43 |
(1) Copy or rename the file config.in as config.h, and change the macros that |
| 10 |
|
|
define HAVE_STRERROR and HAVE_MEMMOVE to define them as 1 rather than 0. |
| 11 |
|
|
Unfortunately, because of the way Unix autoconf works, the default setting has |
| 12 |
|
|
to be 0. |
| 13 |

41 |
|
| 14 |
nigel |
43 |
(2) Copy or rename the file pcre.in as pcre.h, and change the macro definitions |
| 15 |
|
|
for PCRE_MAJOR, PCRE_MINOR, and PCRE_DATE near its start to the values set in |
| 16 |
|
|
configure.in. |
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
(3) Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program, and then run it with |
| 19 |
nigel |
41 |
the standard output sent to chartables.c. This generates a set of standard |
| 20 |
|
|
character tables. |
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
nigel |
43 |
(4) Compile maketables.c, get.c, study.c and pcre.c and link them all |
| 23 |
nigel |
41 |
together into an object library in whichever form your system keeps such |
| 24 |
|
|
libraries. This is the pcre library (chartables.c gets included by means of an |
| 25 |
|
|
#include directive). |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
nigel |
43 |
(5) Similarly, compile pcreposix.c and link it as the pcreposix library. |
| 28 |
nigel |
41 |
|
| 29 |
nigel |
43 |
(6) Compile the test program pcretest.c. This needs the functions in the |
| 30 |
nigel |
41 |
pcre and pcreposix libraries when linking. |
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
nigel |
43 |
(7) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check |
| 33 |
nigel |
41 |
that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. You must use the |
| 34 |
|
|
-i option when checking testinput2. |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
If you have a system without "configure" but where you can use a Makefile, edit |
| 37 |
|
|
Makefile.in to create Makefile, substituting suitable values for the variables |
| 38 |
|
|
at the head of the file. |

Some help in building a Win32 DLL of PCRE in GnuWin32 environments was |
| 41 |
|
|
contributed by Paul.Sokolovsky@technologist.com. These environments are |
| 42 |
|
|
Mingw32 (http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/) and |
| 43 |
|
|
CygWin (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/). Paul comments: |
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
For CygWin, set CFLAGS=-mno-cygwin, and do 'make dll'. You'll get |
| 46 |
|
|
pcre.dll (containing pcreposix also), libpcre.dll.a, and dynamically |
| 47 |
|
|
linked pgrep and pcretest. If you have /bin/sh, run RunTest (three |
| 48 |
|
|
main test go ok, locale not supported). |
