Is there a C regexp library that is portable and builds on QNX?
The docs for Watcom’s regcomp state that it’s QNX only. I need to build on
other unixes too.
TIA, Bruce.

Does it also say it’s POSIX 1003.2? The docs. for my version do. If it
does
then it should be available on any UNIX or UNIX-like system which has
this
POSIX cert.
It’s certainly the same definition as regcomp on IRIX, Solaris, Linux
and Digital UNIX if that helps.

OK, that’s good enough for me.
Thanks, Bruce.

The GNU awk distribution contains a regex module with a GNU Library license.

The SYSTEMS: section says only QNX because Watcom never developed for any
other POSIX environments.

Here is a “nearly-public-domain reimplementation” of Henry Spencer’s
regexp code. It compiles and works well on most systems, including NT,
QNX, etc. I am attaching both a tar’d-gzip’d and a ZIP version of the
library sources. Please look at the readme.txt file for license details.

From the original author’s comments:
This is a nearly-public-domain reimplementation of the V8 regexp(3)
package.
It gives C programs the ability to use egrep-style regular expressions,
and
does it in a much cleaner fashion than the analogous routines in SysV.
