Hi Tony,
There was a patch somewhere for dynamic loading of the PCRE library.
Would that solve this problem?
I doubt it. Probably introduce new (and worse) ones.
The current plan is to leave it as
Regardless of the pcre-config output (which I guess we aren't making
proper use of), I think we should at least provide a --disable-pcre
option to configure. Completely relying on things like pcre-config and
pkg-config and such is a nightmare, in my experience.
As a general rule, I think test cases that are skipped should be
voiced as skipped and why skipped, not silently ignored as is the
case right now.
I certainly agree, FWIW.
