3 | README.win32 - Customise and build Sys::Syslog with Win32 EventLog support |
4 | |
5 | |
6 | DESCRIPTION |
7 | |
8 | This package includes support for the Win32 Event log. This requires |
9 | building a message file and then compiling it and linking it into the |
10 | final .DLL produced by MakeMaker. The default message text file used |
11 | by Sys::Syslog is PerlLog.mc, located in the win32/ subdirectory. |
12 | |
13 | If the message file is updated then you need to go in the win32/ |
14 | subdirectory and run the "compile.pl" command to update the relevent |
15 | files. Note that Sys::Syslog::Win32 is built by this process. |
16 | |
17 | The following files are in the win32 directory: |
18 | |
19 | PerlLog.mc -- Message file, change this if you change anything. |
20 | compile.pl -- Compile the message file and produce Win32.pm and |
21 | PerlLog.RES. Requires that mc.exe and rc.exe are |
22 | in the path. |
23 | |
24 | PerlLog.RES -- Precompiled resource file, used when building the DLL |
25 | Win32.pm -- Generated Win32 module for working with the resource file |
26 | |
27 | When building win32/PerlLog.RES will be linked into the final XS file, |
28 | and win32/Win32.pm will be copied to lib/Sys/Syslog/Win32.pm, which will |
29 | then be installed by MakeMaker as per normal. |
