Looking in srclib/pcre/configure.in I see that there is
dnl Handle --enable-shared-libraries
LIBTOOL=./libtool
LIBSUFFIX=la
AC_ARG_ENABLE(shared,
[ --disable-shared build PCRE as a static library],
if test "$enableval" = "no"; then
LIBTOOL=
LIBSUFFIX=a
fi
)
yet in the original pcre source there is
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
Why was the change made?
Cheers,
Patrick
