You need to install the dependencies.
I get the same problem even though I had installed libpcre2-dev
as it was stated among the dependencies.
$ sudo apt install libpcre2-dev

libpcre2-dev is already the newest version (10.34-7).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
The problem have to do with library version, I guess.
Installing libpcre3-dev
solved it for me
I guess the readme needs to be updated then but this must be an upstream issue. You should open this issue there picom
Thanks
