No, I meant instead. Also, you should consider adding NON-UNIX-USE to the html pages where it would be more likely to be seen by Windows users. As is, NON-UNIX-USE has no file extension (e.g., ".txt") and is probably overlooked by the majority of Windows newcomers. Possibly it would have a better chance of being seen if it had "Readme" in its name. However, as text, it would need CRLF line endings to be easily read on Windows. Below is a proposed update to the Cmake portion. Regards, Sheri CMake is an alternative configuration facility that can be used instead of the traditional Unix "configure". CMake creates project files (make files, solution files, etc.) tailored to numerous development environments such as Visual Studio, Borland, Msys, MinGW, NMake, Unix, etc. 1. Install the latest CMake version available from http://www.cmake.org/, and ensure that cmake\bin is on your path. 2. Unzip (retaining folder structure) the PCRE source tree into a source directory such as C:\pcre. 3. Create a new, empty build directory, e.g.: C:\pcre\build\ 4. Run cmake-gui from the Shell envirornment of your build tool, e.g., Msys for Msys/MinGW or Visual Studio Command Prompt for VC/VC++ 5. Enter C:\pcre\pcre-xx and C:\pcre\build for the source and build directories, respectively. 6. Hit the "Configure" button. 7. Select the particular IDE / build tool that you are using (Visual Studio, MSYS makefiles, MinGW makefiles, etc.) 8. The GUI will then list several configuration options. This is where you can enable UTF-8 support, etc. 9. Hit "Configure" again. The adjacent "Generate" button should now be active. 10. Hit "Generate". 11. The build directory should now contain a usable build system, be it a solution file for Visual Studio, makefiles for MinGW, etc. Exit from cmake-gui and use the generated build system with your compiler or IDE. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
