@@ -8,6 +8,32 @@ Version 10.38-RC1 xx-xxx-2021 is inside a capturing bracket and the bracket is preceeded by character literals. +2. Installed revised CMake configuration files provided by Jan-Willem Blokland. +This extends the CMake build system to build both static and shared libraries +in one go, builds the static library with PIC, and exposes PCRE2 libraries +using the CMake config files. JWB provided these notes: + +- Introduced CMake variable BUILD_STATIC_LIBS to build the static library. + +- Make a small modification to config-cmake.h.in by removing the PCRE2_STATIC + variable. Added PCRE2_STATIC variable to the static build using the + target_compile_definitions() function. + +- Extended the CMake config files. + + - Introduced CMake variable PCRE2_USE_STATIC_LIBS to easily switch between + the static and shared libraries. + + - Added the PCRE_STATIC variable to the target compile definitions for the + import of the static library. + +Building static and shared libraries using MSVC results in a name clash of +the libraries. Both static and shared library builds create, for example, the +file pcre2-8.lib. Therefore, I decided to change the static library names by +adding "-static". For example, pcre2-8.lib has become pcre2-8-static.lib. +[Comment by PH: this seems to be MSVC-specific. It doesn't happen on Linux.] + + Version 10.37 26-May-2021 ------------------------- |
