In an EBCDIC environment, you MUST change NEWLINE, because its default |

site. | |
|
|
|
The XE versions of C++ Builder come with a RegularExpressionsCore class which |
|
contain a version of TPerlRegEx. However, direct use of the C PCRE library may |
|
be desirable. |
|
|
|
The default makevp.bat, however, supplied with PCRE builds a version of PCRE |
|
that is not usable with any version of C++ Builder because the compiler ships |
|
with an embedded version of PCRE, version 2.01 from 1998! [See also the note |
|
about BCC5.5 above.] If you want to use PCRE you'll need to rename the |
|
functions (pcre_compile to pcre_compile_bcc, etc) or do as I have done and just |
|
use the 16 bit versions. I'm using std::wstring everywhere anyway. Since the |
|
embedded version of PCRE does not have the 16 bit function names, there is no |
|
conflict. |
|
|
|
Building PCRE using a C++ Builder static library project file (recommended): |
|
|
|
1. Rename or remove pcre.h, pcreposi.h, and pcreposix.h from your C++ Builder |
|
original include path. |
|
|
|
2. Download PCRE from pcre.org and extract to a directory. |
|
|
|
3. Rename pcre_chartables.c.dist to pcre_chartables.c, pcre.h.generic to |
|
pcre.h, and config.h.generic to config.h. |
|
|
|
4. Edit pcre.h and pcre_config.c so that they include config.h. |
|
|
|
5. Edit config.h like so: |
|
|
|
Comment out the following lines: |
|
#define PACKAGE "pcre" |
|
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" |
|
#define PACKAGE_NAME "PCRE" |
|
#define PACKAGE_STRING "PCRE 8.32" |
|
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "pcre" |
|
#define PACKAGE_URL "" |
|
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "8.32" |
|
|
|
Add the following lines: |
|
#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF |
|
#define SUPPORT_UTF 100 // any value is fine |
|
#endif |
|
|
|
#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP |
|
#define SUPPORT_UCP 101 // any value is fine |
|
#endif |
|
|
|
#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP |
|
#define SUPPORT_PCRE16 102 // any value is fine |
|
#endif |
|
|
|
#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF8 |
|
#define SUPPORT_UTF8 103 // any value is fine |
|
#endif |
|
|
|
6. Build a C++ Builder project using the IDE. Go to File / New / Other and |
|
choose Static Library. You can name it pcre.cbproj or whatever. Now set your |
|
paths by going to Project / Options. Set the Include path. Do this from the |
|
"Base" option to apply to both Release and Debug builds. Now add the following |
|
files to the project: |
|
|
|
pcre.h |
|
pcre16_byte_order.c |
|
pcre16_chartables.c |
|
pcre16_compile.c |
|
pcre16_config.c |
|

|

|

|

|

|

|

|
pcre16_valid_utf16.c |
|
pcre16_version.c |
|
pcre16_xclass.c |
|
|
|
//Optional |
|
pcre_version.c |
|
|
|
7. After compiling the .lib file, copy the .lib and header files to a project |
|
you want to use PCRE with. Enjoy. |
|
|
|
Optional ... Building PCRE using the makevp.bat file: |
|
|
|
1. Edit makevp_c.txt and makevp_l.txt and change all the names to the 16 bit |
|
versions. |
|
|
|
2. Edit makevp.bat and set the path to C++ Builder. Run makevp.bat. |
|
|
|
Another PCRE user added this comment: |
|
|
|
Another approach I successfully used for some years with BCB 5 and 6 was to |
|
make sure that include and library paths of PCRE are configured before the |
|
default paths of the IDE in the dialogs where one can manage those paths. |
|
Afterwards one can open the project files using a text editor and manually add |
|
the self created library for pcre itself, pcrecpp doesn't ship with the IDE, in |
|
the library nodes where the IDE manages its own libraries to link against in |
|
front of the IDE-own libraries. This way one can use the default PCRE function |
|
names without getting access violations on runtime. |

BUILDING PCRE ON NATIVE Z/OS AND Z/VM |
|
|
|
z/OS and z/VM are operating systems for mainframe computers, produced by IBM. |
|
The character code used is EBCDIC, not ASCII or Unicode. In z/OS, UNIX APIs and |
|
applications can be supported through UNIX System Services, and in such an |
|
environment PCRE can be built in the same way as in other systems. However, in |
|
native z/OS (without UNIX System Services) and in z/VM, special ports are |
|
required. For details, please see this web site: |
