how i can enable test utilitys at configure level with enable flag ?

[osevan]

i cant find flags for test utitlitys inside configure flag with configure --help

i want compile benchmark.cc inside test/benchmark directory for some tests.

and --with-pcre2=path-to-my-optimized-lib not working as expected.

configure script found but spits error

Hi @osevan,

I think first you should try to pass --with-pcre2 without argument or --with-pcre2=yes, but before that try to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and add your own path.
