PCRE

[wondersye]

Hello (this is my first CEGUI post!),

I had attempted to build CEGUI without PCRE support (--disable-pcre configure option) but apparently it was nevertheless still needed:

Code: Select all

libtool: compile:  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../cegui/include -I../../cegui/include -I/home/wondersye/Projects/LOANI-latest/LOANI-installations/freetype-2.4.3/include -I/home/wondersye/Projects/LOANI-latest/LOANI-installations/freetype-2.4.3/include/freetype2 -DDEBUG -g -O2 -MT libCEGUIBase_la-CEGUIEditbox.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libCEGUIBase_la-CEGUIEditbox.Tpo -c elements/CEGUIEditbox.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libCEGUIBase_la-CEGUIEditbox.o                                                                                                                             
In file included from elements/CEGUIEditbox.cpp:38:0:                                                                                         
../../cegui/include/CEGUIPCRERegexMatcher.h:33:18: fatal error: pcre.h: No such file or directory                                             
compilation terminated.                                                                                                                       
make[3]: *** [libCEGUIBase_la-CEGUIEditbox.lo] Erreur 1   

When removing that configuration option and specifying an actual PCRE installation (that is, here, prefixed):

Code: Select all

   export pcre_CFLAGS="-I${pcre_PREFIX}/include"
   export pcre_LIBS="-L${pcre_PREFIX}/lib -lpcre"


everything worked correctly.

Best regards,

Olivier Boudeville.

We have abandoned automake and premake in favor of cmake for CEGUI 0.8 so focus is on the cmake build system right now.

Despite this, I recall trying this and it worked for me, perhaps something has changed. I will try this and post back.

Hello again,

For the record, building PCRE "as is" will not be sufficient for samples to work. Indeed I had for Demo6:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::InvalidRequestException in file CEGUIPCRERegexMatcher.cpp(62) : PCRERegexMatcher::setRegexString: Bad RegEx set: '.*'.  Additional Information: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support                                                                           
An exception was thrown within the sample framework:                                                                                         
PCRERegexMatcher::setRegexString: Bad RegEx set: '.*'.  Additional Information: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support   


Adding --enable-unicode-properties at PCRE-configuration time did the trick. So I could at last enjoy Demo6, which looks great!

Thanks,

Olivier Boudeville.
