You misunderstand. Nothing in our cmake file is superfluous to the build process for the three platforms we support. We won't be removing anything from it. We would need to
add conditionals/scenarios to better support Haiku.
But the fact is that you successfully compiled Sigil on Haiku. The only problem was either due to missing python modules, or you didn't install Sigil, and/or run it via the bash script launcher.
As for needing to shoehorn a different version of pcre into Sigil's third-party source folder, you probably didn't need to do that. You probably only needed to install an additional _dev (or _devel) package for pcre from your package manager to be able use the system version. The missing libpcre16 would have been provided by the dev package for pcre (or pcre2|3--whatever haiku's package manager calls it).
