Can't link libpcrecpp w / MinGW
When compiling / linking this code:
#include <string>
using std::string;
#include <pcrecpp.h>
using pcrecpp::RE;
int main() {
string
subj ("Hello world!"),
rgx ("lolCat([0-9])"),
result;
RE(rgx).FullMatch(subj, &result);
}
... using this command:
i586-mingw32msvc-g++ -std=c++11 -o test.exe -Ipcre-install/include test.cpp \
pcre-install/lib/libpcre.a \
pcre-install/lib/libpcrecpp.a \
pcre-install/lib/libpcreposix.a
... I am getting this error:

Am I doing something wrong?
libpcrecpp
was compiled with this config:
../pcre3-8.35/configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc \
--enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes \
--prefix="$(readlink -m ../pcre-install)"

You are compiling pcrecpp
as a static library and you need to define PCRE_STATIC
when you compile your code, see https://github.com/vmg/pcre/blob/a257f5c7acc12e64dc2b5aa170b8e4b87dc34f83/pcreposix.h#L117
i586-mingw32msvc-g++ -std=c++11 -o test.exe -DPCRE_STATIC -Ipcre-install/include test.cpp \
pcre-install/lib/libpcre.a \
pcre-install/lib/libpcrecpp.a \
pcre-install/lib/libpcreposix.a
Without PCRE_STATIC
all public functions marked as dllimport and have different names
