[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54235] problems building Octave on Solaris

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #160, bug #54235 (project octave):

PCRE is required.  It has been a hard dependency since 2011.  See

summary:     require PCRE to build Octave


But there have been more recent changes to the PCRE detection code in
configure.ac to make use of pkg-config and maybe the test got dropped.

It should use AC_MSG_ERROR, as we do when requiring a C++ compiler


  AC_MSG_ERROR([a compiler that fully supports C++11 is required to build
Octave])
