PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression library)

This is a port of PCRE 8.45 by Philip Hazel for AmigaOS 4, as found at the Sourceforge repository (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/pcre/)

More information about PCRE can be found at its official website at https://www.pcre.org

In the archive both newlib and clib2 libraries are included. It has been tested with various applications, but in case you find issues please contact me.

This release can replace the old 6.4 from Henning Nielsen Lund, but it might not work well with your application, because of the many changes happened the last 10+ years.

To install it into your AmigaOS 4 SDK installation, just extract all the files in the SDK: path.

Compile

The source and the changes I did can be found at my personale repository https://git.walkero.gr/walkero/pcre

You can compile it using the Makefile.os4 file, and produce the libraries yourself.

  • with newlib run:
    make -f Makefile.os4 all
    
  • with clib2 run:
    make -f Makefile.os4 all USE_CLIB2=yes
