<P>
PCRE uses fixed tables for processing characters whose code values are less
than 256. By default, PCRE is built with a set of tables that are distributed
in the file <i>pcre_chartables.c.dist</i>. These tables are for ASCII codes
only. If you add
<pre>
--enable-rebuild-chartables
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command, the distributed tables are no longer used.
Instead, a program called <b>dftables</b> is compiled and run. This outputs the
source for new set of tables, created in the default locale of your C runtime
system. (This method of replacing the tables does not work if you are cross
compiling, because <b>dftables</b> is run on the local host. If you need to
create alternative tables when cross compiling, you will have to do so "by
hand".)

<P>
If you add
<pre>
--enable-pcretest-libreadline
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command, <b>pcretest</b> is linked with the
<b>libreadline</b> library, and when its input is from a terminal, it reads it
using the <b>readline()</b> function. This provides line-editing and history
facilities. Note that <b>libreadline</b> is GPL-licenced, so if you distribute a
binary of <b>pcretest</b> linked in this way, there may be licensing issues.
</P>
<P>
Last updated: 06 June 2006
Setting this option causes the <b>-lreadline</b> option to be added to the
<b>pcretest</b> build. In many operating environments with a sytem-installed
<b>libreadline</b> this is sufficient. However, in some environments (e.g.
if an unmodified distribution version of readline is in use), some extra
configuration may be necessary. The INSTALL file for <b>libreadline</b> says
this:
<pre>
"Readline uses the termcap functions, but does not link with the
termcap or curses library itself, allowing applications which link
with readline the to choose an appropriate library."
</pre>
If your environment has not been set up so that an appropriate library is
automatically included, you may need to add something like
<pre>
LIBS="-ncurses"
</pre>
immediately before the <b>configure</b> command.
