Hi Anders,

The pcre.h header file will be used when you want to build Ethereal with the
new "matches" operation, which allows Perl-compatible regular expression
(PCRE) matches on text string searchable fields in display filters. You can
either install libpcre (zip archive pcre-4.4.zip available at the Ethereal
site; see also README.win32) or replace "#define HAVE_LIBPCRE" with "/*
#undef HAVE_LIBPCRE */" in your config.h files.

UN*X users can choose to disable PCRE support by means of the
'--without-pcre' argument to the configure script. By default the configure
script will link in libpcre if it is found.

Regards,

Olivier

| Hi,
| With the current tarball 2003-12-10 I get problems with MSVC 
| not finding
| pcre.h which gets included with ftypes.h
| 
| And had to add $(PCRE_CFLAGS) to a lot of Makefile.nmake 
| files, is this the correct way of doing it or is there an 
| alternative ?
