You must download the source of pcre2 (pcre is obsolete) and follow their instructions to compile it. I recommend the cmake method.

Then just add the include folder to the project's compiler search path and the library to the linker.

That would be OT here, look here (https://github.com/PhilipHazel/pcre2/blob/master/NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD) under BUILDING PCRE2 ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE for more information.

We can help you later if you have problems configuring C::B to use the library.
