Dependencies

Installing on Windows

If you use Corral to include this package as dependency of a project, Corral will download and build PCRE2 for you the first time you run corral fetch. Otherwise, before using this package, you must run .\make.ps1 libs in its base directory to download and build PCRE2 for Windows. In both cases, you will need CMake (3.15 or higher) and 7Zip (7z.exe) in your PATH; and Visual Studio 2017 or later (or the Visual C++ Build Tools 2017 or later) installed in your system.

Building PCRE2 from source

wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre2-10.21.tar.bz2
tar xvf pcre2-10.21.tar.bz2
cd pcre2-10.21
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
