Git and PCRE2 vs PCRE?

From: Jeffrey Walton <hidden>
Date: 2017-03-30 20:59:33

Some more 2.12.2 testing on Solaris 11.3 x86_64:

    ...
    CC ident.o
    CC kwset.o
    CC line-log.o
    CC levenshtein.o
    CC line-range.o
    CC list-objects.o
In file included from revision.h:5:0,
                 from line-log.c:10:
grep.h:5:18: fatal error: pcre.h: No such file or directory
 #include <pcre.h>
                  ^
compilation terminated.
gmake: *** [line-log.o] Error 1


Configure has an option for libpcre, but its not clear to me how to
fine tune it for libpcre2:

$ ./configure --help | /usr/gnu/bin/grep -A 2 -i pcre
  --with-libpcre          support Perl-compatible regexes (default is NO)
                          ARG can be also prefix for libpcre library and
                          headers

Is it possible to use PCRE2 with Git? If so, how do I tell Git to use PCRE2?

Thanks in advance.
