%general-entities; ]> $Date$ PCRE2 The PCRE2 package contains a new generation of the Perl Compatible Regular Expression libraries. These are useful for implementing regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl. &lfs101_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &pcre2-md5sum; Download size: &pcre2-size; Estimated disk space required: &pcre2-buildsize; Estimated build time: &pcre2-time; PCRE2 Dependencies Optional and libedit User Notes: Install PCRE2 by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/pcre2-&pcre2-version; \ --enable-unicode \ --enable-jit \ --enable-pcre2-16 \ --enable-pcre2-32 \ --enable-pcre2grep-libz \ --enable-pcre2grep-libbz2 \ --enable-pcre2test-libreadline \ --disable-static && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --enable-unicode: This switch enables Unicode support and includes the functions for handling UTF-8/16/32 character strings in the library. --enable-pcre2-16: This switch enables 16 bit character support. --enable-pcre2-32: This switch enables 32 bit character support. --enable-pcre2grep-libz: This switch adds support for reading .gz compressed files to pcre2grep. --enable-pcre2grep-libbz2: This switch adds support for reading .bz2 compressed files to pcre2grep. --enable-pcre2test-libreadline: This switch adds line editing and history features to the pcre2test program. --enable-jit: this option enables Just-in-time compiling, which can greatly speed up pattern matching. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory pcre2-config, pcre2grep, and pcre2test. libpcre2-8.so, libpcre2-16.so, libpcre2-32.so, and libpcre2-posix.so /usr/share/doc/pcre2-&pcre2-version; Short Descriptions pcre2grep is a version of grep that understands Perl compatible regular expressions. pcre2grep pcre2test can test a Perl compatible regular expression. pcre2 pcre2-config outputs compilation information to programs linking against the PCRE2 libraries pcre2-config
