Compiling PCRE on non-Unix systems
----------------------------------
See below for comments on Cygwin or MinGW usage.
If you want to compile PCRE for a non-Unix system, note that it consists
entirely of code written in Standard C, and so should compile successfully
on any machine with a Standard C compiler and library, using normal compiling
commands to do the following:
(1) Copy or rename the file config.in as config.h, and change the macros that
define HAVE_STRERROR and HAVE_MEMMOVE to define them as 1 rather than 0.
Unfortunately, because of the way Unix autoconf works, the default setting has
to be 0. You may also want to make changes to other macros in config.h. In
particular, if you want to force a specific value for newline, you can define
the NEWLINE macro. The default is to use '\n', thereby using whatever value
your compiler gives to '\n'.
(2) Copy or rename the file pcre.in as pcre.h, and change the macro definitions
for PCRE_MAJOR, PCRE_MINOR, and PCRE_DATE near its start to the values set in
configure.in.
(3) Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program, and then run it with
the standard output sent to chartables.c. This generates a set of standard
character tables.
(4) Compile maketables.c, get.c, study.c and pcre.c and link them all
together into an object library in whichever form your system keeps such
libraries. This is the pcre library (chartables.c is included by means of an
#include directive).
(5) Similarly, compile pcreposix.c and link it as the pcreposix library.
(6) Compile the test program pcretest.c. This needs the functions in the
pcre and pcreposix libraries when linking.
(7) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check
that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. You must use the
-i option when checking testinput2. Note that the supplied files are in Unix
format, with just LF characters as line terminators. You may need to edit them
to change this if your system uses a different convention.
If you have a system without "configure" but where you can use a Makefile, edit
Makefile.in to create Makefile, substituting suitable values for the variables
at the head of the file.
Some help in building a Win32 DLL of PCRE in GnuWin32 environments was
contributed by Paul Sokolovsky. These environments are Mingw32
(http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/) and CygWin
(http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/). Paul comments:
For CygWin, set CFLAGS=-mno-cygwin, and do 'make dll'. You'll get
pcre.dll (containing pcreposix also), libpcre.dll.a, and dynamically
linked pgrep and pcretest. If you have /bin/sh, run RunTest (three
main test go ok, locale not supported).
Changes to do MinGW with autoconf 2.50 were supplied by Fred Cox
<sailorFred@yahoo.com>, who comments as follows:
If you are using the PCRE DLL, the normal Unix style configure && make &&
make check && make install should just work[*]. If you want to statically
link against the .a file, you must define PCRE_STATIC before including
pcre.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc and pcre_free exported functions will be
declared __declspec(dllimport), with hilarious results. See the configure.in
and pcretest.c for how it is done for the static test.
Also, there will only be a libpcre.la, not a libpcreposix.la, as you
would expect from the Unix version. The single DLL includes the pcreposix
interface.
[*] But note that the supplied test files are in Unix format, with just LF
characters as line terminators. You will have to edit them to change to CR LF
terminators.
A script for building PCRE using Borland's C++ compiler for use with VPASCAL
was contributed by Alexander Tokarev. It is called makevp.bat.
These are some further comments about Win32 builds from Mark Evans. They
were contributed before Fred Cox's changes were made, so it is possible that
they may no longer be relevant.
The documentation for Win32 builds is a bit shy. Under MSVC6 I
followed their instructions to the letter, but there were still
some things missing.
(1) Must #define STATIC for entire project if linking statically.
(I see no reason to use DLLs for code this compact.) This of
course is a project setting in MSVC under Preprocessor.
(2) Missing some #ifdefs relating to the function pointers
pcre_malloc and pcre_free. See my solution below. (The stubs
may not be mandatory but they made me feel better.)
=========================
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <malloc.h>
void* malloc_stub(size_t N)
{ return malloc(N); }
void free_stub(void* p)
{ free(p); }
void *(*pcre_malloc)(size_t) = &malloc_stub;
void (*pcre_free)(void *) = &free_stub;
#else
void *(*pcre_malloc)(size_t) = malloc;
void (*pcre_free)(void *) = free;
#endif
=========================
