69        pcre_compile.c       The tables in pcre_chartables.c are defaults. The caller of PCRE can
70        pcre_config.c       specify alternative tables at run time.
71        pcre_dfa_exec.c  
72        pcre_exec.c   (4) Ensure that you have the following header files:
73        pcre_fullinfo.c  
74        pcre_get.c         pcre_internal.h
75        pcre_globals.c         ucp.h
76        pcre_info.c         ucpinternal.h
77        pcre_maketables.c         ucptable.h
78        pcre_newline.c  
79        pcre_ord2utf8.c   (5) Also ensure that you have the following file, which is #included as source
80        pcre_refcount.c       when building a debugging version of PCRE and is also used by pcretest.
81        pcre_study.c  
82        pcre_tables.c         pcre_printint.src
83        pcre_try_flipped.c  
84        pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c   (6) Compile the following source files:
85        pcre_valid_utf8.c  
86        pcre_version.c         pcre_chartables.c
87        pcre_xclass.c         pcre_compile.c
88           pcre_config.c
89      Now link them all together into an object library in whichever form your         pcre_dfa_exec.c
90      system keeps such libraries. This is the basic PCRE C library. If your         pcre_exec.c
91      system has static and shared libraries, you may have to do this once for         pcre_fullinfo.c
92      each type.         pcre_get.c
93           pcre_globals.c
94  (5) Similarly, compile pcreposix.c and link it (on its own) as the pcreposix         pcre_info.c
95      library.         pcre_maketables.c
96           pcre_newline.c
97  (6) Compile the test program pcretest.c. This needs the functions in the         pcre_ord2utf8.c
98      pcre and pcreposix libraries when linking.         pcre_refcount.c
99           pcre_study.c
100  (7) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check         pcre_tables.c
101      that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. Note that the         pcre_try_flipped.c
102      supplied files are in Unix format, with just LF characters as line         pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c
103      terminators. You may need to edit them to change this if your system uses a         pcre_valid_utf8.c
104      different convention.         pcre_version.c
105           pcre_xclass.c
106    
107     (7) Now link all the compiled code into an object library in whichever form
108         your system keeps such libraries. This is the basic PCRE C library. If
109         your system has static and shared libraries, you may have to do this once
110         for each type.
111    
112     (8) Similarly, compile pcreposix.c and link the result (on its own) as the
113         pcreposix library.
114    
115     (9) Compile the test program pcretest.c. This needs the functions in the
116         pcre and pcreposix libraries when linking. It also needs the
117         pcre_printint.src source file, which it #includes.
118    
119    (10) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check
120         that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. Note that the
121         supplied files are in Unix format, with just LF characters as line
122         terminators. You may need to edit them to change this if your system uses
123         a different convention.
