regular expressions with Nios

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I wanted to use regular expressions with C or C++ for the Nios. My code gets compiled but the linker gives an undefined reference to regcomp and regexec.  Doe anyone have a clue to solve this issue?  thanks in advance

Did you include all the required headers ( e.g. regex.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h ) ?

For some reason I was even not able to compile it into a customized newlib. I used http://www.pcre.org/ and built it as a nios library.  regards
