One may optionally use his/her own PCRE installation by selecting the
(BuildType)_ExtPCRE configuration, but please note the PCRE must be built
with VS10 with unicode support using the /MD (release) or /MDd (debug)
runtime option which corresponds to your GLib build flavour (release, debug).
(These are the defaults set by CMAKE, which is used in recent versions of PCRE.)
Not doing so will most probably result in unexpected crashes in
your programs due to the use of different CRTs. If using a static PCRE
build, add PCRE_STATIC to the "preprocessor definitions".
Note that one may still continue to build with the bundled PCRE by selecting
the (BuildType) configuration.
Please note, although using one's own existing PCRE installation to build GLib
is possible, it is still recommended to build PCRE during the process of building
GLib (i.e. using the Debug or Release configurations), as GLib's bundled PCRE
has been patched to work optimally with GLib. If building against an existing
PCRE is desired, use the(BuildType)_ExtPCRE configurations, but one needs to ensure
that the existing PCRE is:
-Built with VS10
-Unicode support is built in (please see the CMake options for this)
-It is built with the Multithreaded DLL (/MD, for release builds) or the
Multithreaded DLL Debug (/MDd, for debug builds)
If using static builds of PCRE, please add PCRE_STATIC to the "Preprocessor
Definitions" of the glib project settings.
Please be aware that the GLib's regex test program will only pass with PCRE directly
built into GLib.
