There are two options. Either it can link dynamically with a system libpcre2-8.so or statically with pcre2 compiled from source, that was downloaded by cmake during the build. Normally Linux distributions use the first option and the second one is when one needs a standalone binary with minimal set of external dependencies. > We’re not using PCRE extensions at all in our applications, and I’d > rather not pull in another extraneous library.

It shouldn't be difficult to implement it, but at the moment it's not supported.
