[SOLVED] Building Error - undefined reference to `pcre_*' on PKGBUILD

I'm trying to package bulk_extractor: https://github.com/simsong/bulk_extractor but when I test the PKGBUILD process, it fails during the building whereas if I clone manually the repository and I run the same commands I have in PKGBUILD on the terminal, the build works.

Why?

The PKGBUILD is:

pkgname=bulk-extractor
pkgver=2333.6a7da28
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Bulk Email and URL extraction tool.'
arch=('x86_64')
url='https://github.com/simsong/bulk_extractor'
license=('GPL')
depends=('tre' 'flex' 'java-environment' 'openssl' 'exiv2' 'afflib' 'libewf' 'libxml2' 'zlib'
         'ncurses5-compat-libs' 'pcre2' 're2')
makedepends=('git' 'autoconf' 'automake')
source=("git+https://github.com/simsong/${pkgname//-/_}.git")
sha512sums=('SKIP')

pkgver() {
  cd "${pkgname//-/_}"

  echo $(git rev-list --count HEAD).$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
}

prepare() {
  cd ${pkgname//-/_}

  git submodule update --recursive --remote

  sh bootstrap.sh
}

build() {
  cd ${pkgname//-/_}

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

  make
}

package() {
  cd ${pkgname//-/_}

  install -dm 755 "$pkgdir/usr/share/$pkgname"

  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

The error I am getting:

You do not have pcre installed in the clean chroot as it is not listed in the PKGBUILD.  Please consider helping the project transition to pcre2.

I added "pcre2" as dependency but I continue to get the same error.

You need to add pcre not pcre2 unless you or the project convert to pcre2.
