None of this is relevant for 64-bit systems; zsh should compile and run without problems if (sizeof(long) == 8). +Searching for `pcre' +-------------------- + +Zsh has a module which allows the pcre regular expression library to be +used via shell builtins. Compiling this library into the shell with +dynamic loading (the default where available) produces a dependency on the +library libpcre.so. This is a problem on systems where zsh needs to be +available at boot before the directory containing libpcre.so (for +example /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib) is mounted. For this reason, +pcre support will only be searched for if the option --enable-pcre +is passed to configure. + +(Future versions of the shell may have a better fix for this problem.) + Options For Configure --------------------- |
