    Description

      Commit 3a33ae8 uses pkg-config to find the location of PCRE library.
      However when a user installs the library in non-standard location
      (/workspace/mylib for example), it's also recommended to use the
      '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag to point the build system to where
      the library installed.

      In the revision, it's now compatible when libpcre2-8.pc is not available. In this case PCRE_LIBRARY_DIRS is empty and it still relies on users to set the path correctly so CMake can find the shared object. If everything is in place, FIND_LIBRARY() macro should be able to find the library, and we can use the path to set the link directories.
