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
