bug#40395: Building Grep with PCRE support

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on OS X 10.12. When I build Grep 3.3 from source tarball I see:

    checking for PCRE... no
    checking for pcre_compile... no
    configure: WARNING: GNU grep will be built without pcre support.

PCRE2 is installed in /usr/local. PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set and points to
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

Configure _lacks_ an option --with-pcre-prefix=... Attempting to use it:

    configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-pcre-prefix

Would someone know how to build Grep with PCRE support?

Thanks in advance.
