Hi Basin,
it seems missing for the 32bit version,
on 64bit it is present.
$ less --version
less 581.2 (PCRE2 regular expressions)
Copyright (C) 1984-2021 Mark Nudelman
But for both the library is present
$ cygcheck -cd |grep "pcre.*devel"
libpcre-devel 8.45-1
libpcre2-devel 10.37-1
let me investigate why the 32bit has such issue.
Regards
Marco
