%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ PCRE The PCRE package contains Perl Compatible Regular Expression libraries. These are useful for implementing regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &pcre-md5sum; Download size: &pcre-size; Estimated disk space required: &pcre-buildsize; Estimated build time: &pcre-time; User Notes: Install PCRE by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/pcre-&pcre-version; \ --enable-utf \ --enable-unicode-properties \ --enable-pcregrep-libz \ --enable-pcregrep-libbz2 \ --disable-static && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && mv -v /usr/lib/libpcre.so.* /lib && ln -sfv ../../lib/libpcre.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/libpcre.so --enable-utf: This switch includes the code for handling UTF-8 character strings in the library. --enable-unicode-properties: This switch enables Unicode properties support. Note: You need this switch if you are going to build with the --with-pcre=system switch. --enable-pcregrep-libz: This switch adds support to pcregrep to read .gz compressed files. --enable-pcregrep-libbz2: This switch adds support to pcregrep to read .bz2 compressed files. mv -v /usr/lib/libpcre.so.* /lib: Moves PCRE library on the root filesystem so that it is available in case grep gets reinstalled with PCRE support. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory pcregrep, pcretest and pcre-config libpcre.so, libpcrecpp.so and libpcreposix.so /usr/share/doc/pcre-&pcre-version; Short Descriptions pcregrep is a grep that understands Perl compatible regular expressions. pcregrep pcretest can test a Perl compatible regular expression. pcretest pcre-config is used during the compile process of programs linking to the PCRE libraries. pcre-config
