Re: Using the PCRE library for Windows??

[Alex Lindberg <alindber () yahoo com>]

True, but since pcre is removed from the windows library download site, should the PCRE option still be in the 
config.nmake file?

In epan/ftypes/*c files, both the pcre lib and Gtkregex are  used causing the developer to take both into account.  
IMHO, ugly.

In my case, I use the regcomp set of functions to build a library of regex expressions to parse my data sets.  If the 
pcre lib is available for Linux, why not for windows. I would request that the pcre libs/bin file be restored to the 
1.4 and 1.6 (trunk) resources.

Thanks.

Hi,
Since 
we don't need it for Windows as it's available trough glib/GTK, it probably got 
removed. can't you use the Glib/GTK equivalents?

    I use the pcre (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) 
      library, however while the windows version is referenced in config.nmake, 
      it does not exist in the predefined location for Makefile.nmake to 
      install.  

   
      http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark-win32-libs/trunk-1.4/packages//pcre-7.0-bin.zip

Suggestions 
      on working around this?

Thanks as always.
