Compiling PCRE on non-Unix systems
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
See below for comments on Cygwin or MinGW and OpenVMS usage. I (Philip Hazel)
|
|
have no knowledge of Windows or VMS sytems and how their libraries work. The
|
|
items in the PCRE Makefile that relate to anything other than Unix-like systems
|
|
have been contributed by PCRE users. There are some other comments and files in
|
|
the Contrib directory on the ftp site that you may find useful. See
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Contrib
|
|
|
|
If you want to compile PCRE for a non-Unix system (or perhaps, more strictly,
|
|
for a system that does not support "configure" and "make" files), note that
|
|
the basic PCRE library consists entirely of code written in Standard C, and so
|
|
should compile successfully on any system that has a Standard C compiler and
|
|
library. The C++ wrapper functions are a separate issue (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
GENERIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE C LIBRARY
|
|
|
|
The following are generic comments about building PCRE. The interspersed
|
|
indented commands are suggestions from Mark Tetrode as to which commands you
|
|
might use on a Windows system to build a static library.
|
|
|
|
(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'.
|
|
|
|
rem Mark Tetrode's commands
|
|
copy config.in config.h
|
|
rem Use write, because notepad cannot handle UNIX files. Change values.
|
|
write config.h
|
|
|
|
(2) Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program, and then run it with
|
|
the single argument "pcre_chartables.c". This generates a set of standard
|
|
character tables and writes them to that file.
|
|
|
|
rem Mark Tetrode's commands
|
|
rem Compile & run
|
|
cl -DSUPPORT_UTF8 -DSUPPORT_UCP dftables.c
|
|
dftables.exe pcre_chartables.c
|
|
|
|
(3) Compile the following source files:
|
|
|
|
pcre_chartables.c
|
|
pcre_compile.c
|
|
pcre_config.c
|
|
pcre_dfa_exec.c
|
|
pcre_exec.c
|
|
pcre_fullinfo.c
|
|
pcre_get.c
|
|
pcre_globals.c
|
|
pcre_info.c
|
|
pcre_maketables.c
|
|
pcre_ord2utf8.c
|
|
pcre_refcount.c
|
|
pcre_study.c
|
|
pcre_tables.c
|
|
pcre_try_flipped.c
|
|
pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c
|
|
pcre_valid_utf8.c
|
|
pcre_version.c
|
|
pcre_xclass.c
|
|
|
|
and link them all together into an object library in whichever form your system
|
|
keeps such libraries. This is the pcre C library. If your system has static and
|
|
shared libraries, you may have to do this once for each type.
|
|
|
|
rem These comments are out-of-date, referring to a previous release which
|
|
rem had fewer source files. Replace with the file names from above.
|
|
rem Mark Tetrode's commands, for a static library
|
|
rem Compile & lib
|
|
cl -DSUPPORT_UTF8 -DSUPPORT_UCP -DPOSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD=10 /c maketables.c get.c study.c pcre.c
|
|
lib /OUT:pcre.lib maketables.obj get.obj study.obj pcre.obj
|
|
|
|
(4) Similarly, compile pcreposix.c and link it (on its own) as the pcreposix
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
rem Mark Tetrode's commands, for a static library
|
|
rem Compile & lib
|
|
cl -DSUPPORT_UTF8 -DSUPPORT_UCP -DPOSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD=10 /c pcreposix.c
|
|
lib /OUT:pcreposix.lib pcreposix.obj
|
|
|
|
(5) Compile the test program pcretest.c. This needs the functions in the
|
|
pcre and pcreposix libraries when linking.
|
|
|
|
rem Mark Tetrode's commands
|
|
rem compile & link
|
|
cl /F0x400000 pcretest.c pcre.lib pcreposix.lib
|
|
|
|
(6) 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.
|
|
|
|
rem Mark Tetrode's commands
|
|
pcretest testdata\testinput1 testdata\myoutput1
|
|
windiff testdata\testoutput1 testdata\myoutput1
|
|
pcretest -i testdata\testinput2 testdata\myoutput2
|
|
windiff testdata\testoutput2 testdata\myoutput2
|
|
pcretest testdata\testinput3 testdata\myoutput3
|
|
windiff testdata\testoutput3 testdata\myoutput3
|
|
pcretest testdata\testinput4 testdata\myoutput4
|
|
windiff testdata\testoutput4 testdata\myoutput4
|
|
pcretest testdata\testinput5 testdata\myoutput5
|
|
windiff testdata\testoutput5 testdata\myoutput5
|
|
pcretest testdata\testinput6 testdata\myoutput6
|
|
windiff testdata\testoutput6 testdata\myoutput6
|
|
|
|
Note that there are now three more tests (7, 8, 9) that did not exist when Mark
|
|
wrote those comments. The test the new pcre_dfa_exec() function.
|
|
|
|
(7) If you want to use the pcregrep command, compile and link pcregrep.c; it
|
|
uses only the basic PCRE library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE C++ WRAPPER FUNCTIONS
|
|
|
|
The PCRE distribution now contains some C++ wrapper functions and tests,
|
|
contributed by Google Inc. On a system that can use "configure" and "make",
|
|
the functions are automatically built into a library called pcrecpp. It should
|
|
be straightforward to compile the .cc files manually on other systems. The
|
|
files called xxx_unittest.cc are test programs for each of the corresponding
|
|
xxx.cc files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FURTHER REMARKS
|
|
|
|
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

BUILDING PCRE ON OPENVMS
|
|
|
|
Dan Mooney sent the following comments about building PCRE on OpenVMS. They
|
|
relate to an older version of PCRE that used fewer source files, so the exact
|
|
commands will need changing. See the current list of source files above.
|
|
|
|
"It was quite easy to compile and link the library. I don't have a formal
|
|
make file but the attached file [reproduced below] contains the OpenVMS DCL
|
|
commands I used to build the library. I had to add #define
|
|
POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD 10 to pcre.h since it was not defined anywhere.
|
|
|
|
The library was built on:
|
|
O/S: HP OpenVMS v7.3-1
|
|
Compiler: Compaq C v6.5-001-48BCD
|
|
Linker: vA13-01
|
|
|
|
The test results did not match 100% due to the issues you mention in your
|
|
documentation regarding isprint(), iscntrl(), isgraph() and ispunct(). I
|
|
modified some of the character tables temporarily and was able to get the
|
|
results to match. Tests using the fr locale did not match since I don't have
|
|
that locale loaded. The study size was always reported to be 3 less than the
|
|
value in the standard test output files."
