8e07c86e 301The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
302most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
303subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
304supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 305
4633a7c4 306Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
307found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
308of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
309the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
310'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
311so.

894
005c1a0e 895=head1 DESCRIPTION
896
897This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
898from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
899Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
900
901It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
902that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
903it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
904
f1387719 905MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
906directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
907object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
908Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().
8e07c86e 909
f1387719 910=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
8e07c86e 911
bab2b58e 912The short answer is: Don't.
913
914 Always begin with h2xs.
915 Always begin with h2xs!
916 ALWAYS BEGIN WITH H2XS!
917
918even if you're not building around a header file, and even if you
919don't have an XS component.
920
921Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking about writing a module. For so
922called pm-only modules that consist of C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has
923the C<-X> switch. This will generate dummy files of all kinds that are
924useful for the module developer.
8e07c86e 925
f1387719 926The medium answer is:
8e07c86e 927
f1387719 928 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
929 WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
8e07c86e 930
bab2b58e 931The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
005c1a0e 932
933=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
934
f1387719 935The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
005c1a0e 936
937 perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
938 make
8e07c86e 939 make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
940 make install # See below
005c1a0e 941
942The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
e05e23b1 943form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
005c1a0e 944
e05e23b1 945 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
005c1a0e 946
947Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
948
949 make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
8e07c86e 950 make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
951 make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib)
e05e23b1 952 make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
005c1a0e 953 make dist # see below the Distribution Support section
954
e05e23b1 955=head2 make test
956
bab2b58e 957MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
e05e23b1 958current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
959of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
960set of perl C<-I> options.
961
962MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
963add commands to the test target of the generated Makefile that execute
964all matching files via the L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I>
965switches set correctly.
966
bab2b58e 967=head2 make testdb
968
969A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the
970test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file
971F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test.
972
973If you want to debug some other testfile, set C<TEST_FILE> variable
974thusly:
975
976 make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t
977
978By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you
979want to specify some other option, set C<TESTDB_SW> variable:
980
981 make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx
982
e05e23b1 983=head2 make install
005c1a0e 984
8e07c86e 985make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
cae6c631 986the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_HTMLLIBDIR,
987INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR, INST_MAN1DIR, and INST_MAN3DIR. All these default
988to something below ./blib if you are I<not> building below the perl
989source directory. If you I<are> building below the perl source,
990INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to ../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not
991defined.
005c1a0e 992
e05e23b1 993The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
994below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
995counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
996INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
005c1a0e 997
cae6c631 998 INSTALLDIRS set to
999 perl site
e05e23b1 1000
cae6c631 1001 INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH
1002 INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB
1003 INST_HTMLLIBDIR INSTALLHTMLPRIVLIBDIR INSTALLHTMLSITELIBDIR
1004 INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR INSTALLHTMLSCRIPTDIR
1005 INST_BIN INSTALLBIN
1006 INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
1007 INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR
1008 INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR
005c1a0e 1009
8e07c86e 1010The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
1011($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
005c1a0e 1012
3b03c0f3 1013You can check the values of these variables on your system with
1014
bab2b58e 1015 perl '-V:install.*'
3b03c0f3 1016
f1387719 1017And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
1018searched by perl, run
005c1a0e 1019
f1387719 1020 perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
005c1a0e 1021
005c1a0e 1022
bab2b58e 1023=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
1024
1025PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
1026go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might
1027be
1028
1029 perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
005c1a0e 1030
bab2b58e 1031This will install the module's architecture-independent files into
e35b8f9e 1032~/lib, the architecture-dependent files into ~/lib/$archname.
bab2b58e 1033
1034Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
1035parameter is PREFIX.
005c1a0e 1036
8e07c86e 1037 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
005c1a0e 1038
e35b8f9e 1039This will replace the string specified by C<$Config{prefix}> in all
1040C<$Config{install*}> values.
005c1a0e 1041
bab2b58e 1042Note, that in both cases the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not
e35b8f9e 1043by perl by default, nor by make.
1044
1045Conflicts between parameters LIB,
1046PREFIX and the various INSTALL* arguments are resolved so that:
1047
1048=over 4
1049
1050=item *
1051
1052setting LIB overrides any setting of INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB,
1053INSTALLSITELIB, INSTALLSITEARCH (and they are not affected by PREFIX);
1054
1055=item *
1056
1057without LIB, setting PREFIX replaces the initial C<$Config{prefix}>
1058part of those INSTALL* arguments, even if the latter are explicitly
1059set (but are set to still start with C<$Config{prefix}>).
1060
1061=back
005c1a0e 1062
005c1a0e 1063If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS
e35b8f9e 1064or relatives, then the defaults for
f1387719 1065INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate,
005c1a0e 1066and this incantation will be the best:
1067
1068 perl Makefile.PL; make; make test
1069 make install
1070
8e07c86e 1071make install per default writes some documentation of what has been
e05e23b1 1072done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
1073can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
8e07c86e 1074
1075=head2 AFS users
1076
1077will have to specify the installation directories as these most
1078probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
1079have to do this by calling
1080
e05e23b1 1081 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
f1387719 1082 INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
8e07c86e 1083 make
1084
e05e23b1 1085Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
1086extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
1087still valid.
005c1a0e 1088
8e07c86e 1089=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
005c1a0e 1090
1091An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
1092systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
1093dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
1094with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
1095by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
1096is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
1097
1098 make perl
1099
1100That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
da7f727a 1101extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB, SITELIBEXP,
e05e23b1 1102and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
1103UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you
1104want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you
1105delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through
1106for linkable libraries again.
005c1a0e 1107
1108The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
1109resides on your machine with
1110
1111 make inst_perl
1112
1113To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
1114
1115 perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
1116 make myperl
1117 make inst_perl
1118
1119or say
1120
1121 perl Makefile.PL
1122 make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1123 make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1124
1125In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
1126C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
1127
8e07c86e 1128make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been
1129done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
1130can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
005c1a0e 1131
e05e23b1 1132Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
1133existing perl binary. Use with care!
005c1a0e 1134
8e07c86e 1135Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
1136your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
1137set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
1138
1139 perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended
1140
1141or
1142
1143 make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems
1144
005c1a0e 1145=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
1146
1147MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
e05e23b1 1148located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
1149during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
1150existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
005c1a0e 1151
1152Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
e05e23b1 1153directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
1154is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
1155itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
1156below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
1157directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
1158extensions that come with perl.
005c1a0e 1159
1160If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
e05e23b1 1161source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
1162C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
1163a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
005c1a0e 1164
1165 PERL_INC = PERL_SRC
1166 PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1167 PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1168 INST_LIB = PERL_LIB
1169 INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
1170
1171If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
1172will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
1173of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
1174
e05e23b1 1175 PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE
1176 PERL_LIB = $privlibexp
1177 PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
1178 INST_LIB = ./blib/lib
1179 INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
005c1a0e 1180
1181If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
1182command line as shown in the previous section.
1183
005c1a0e 1184
f1387719 1185=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
005c1a0e 1186
f1387719 1187If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
1188MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
1189relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
1190by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
1191sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
1192then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
1193INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config ,
1194otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
1195for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
005c1a0e 1196
f1387719 1197MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
1198internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention,
1199that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
1200used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
a7665c5e 1201be necessary, and should only be done if the author of a package
f1387719 1202recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
005c1a0e 1203
e05e23b1 1204=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
005c1a0e 1205
1206The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
1207or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
1208
875fa795 1209=over 2
005c1a0e 1210
875fa795 1211=item ABSTRACT
1212
1213One line description of the module. Will be included in PPD file.
1214
1215=item ABSTRACT_FROM
1216
1217Name of the file that contains the package description. MakeMaker looks
1218for a line in the POD matching /^($package\s-\s)(.*)/. This is typically
1219the first line in the "=head1 NAME" section. $2 becomes the abstract.
1220
e35b8f9e 1221=item AUTHOR
1222
1223String containing name (and email address) of package author(s). Is used
1224in PPD (Perl Package Description) files for PPM (Perl Package Manager).
1225
875fa795 1226=item BINARY_LOCATION
1227
1228Used when creating PPD files for binary packages. It can be set to a
1229full or relative path or URL to the binary archive for a particular
1230architecture. For example:
1231
1232 perl Makefile.PL BINARY_LOCATION=x86/Agent.tar.gz
1233
1234builds a PPD package that references a binary of the C<Agent> package,
20e08411 1235located in the C<x86> directory relative to the PPD itself.
8e07c86e 1236
864a5fa8 1237=item C
8e07c86e 1238
864a5fa8 1239Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
1240and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
1241currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
8e07c86e 1242
84902520 1243=item CCFLAGS
1244
1245String that will be included in the compiler call command line between
1246the arguments INC and OPTIMIZE.
1247
864a5fa8 1248=item CONFIG
8e07c86e 1249
864a5fa8 1250Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
1251config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
1252ar
1253cc
1254cccdlflags
1255ccdlflags
1256dlext
1257dlsrc
1258ld
1259lddlflags
1260ldflags
1261libc
1262lib_ext
1263obj_ext
1264ranlib
e05e23b1 1265sitelibexp
1266sitearchexp
864a5fa8 1267so
8e07c86e 1268
1269=item CONFIGURE
1270
e05e23b1 1271CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
1fef88e7 1272hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to
8e07c86e 1273be determined by some evaluation method.
1274
864a5fa8 1275=item DEFINE
8e07c86e 1276
864a5fa8 1277Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
8e07c86e 1278
864a5fa8 1279=item DIR
8e07c86e 1280
864a5fa8 1281Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
1282] in ext/SDBM_File
8e07c86e 1283
864a5fa8 1284=item DISTNAME
8e07c86e 1285
e05e23b1 1286Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to
864a5fa8 1287NAME above.
8e07c86e 1288
864a5fa8 1289=item DL_FUNCS
8e07c86e 1290
875fa795 1291Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as universal
1292symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name and an
1293array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX, OS/2,
1294VMS and Win32 at present. The routine names supplied will be expanded
1295in the same way as XSUB names are expanded by the XS() macro.
1296Defaults to
8e07c86e 1297
864a5fa8 1298 {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
8e07c86e 1299
864a5fa8 1300e.g.
8e07c86e 1301
864a5fa8 1302 {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
1303 "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
8e07c86e 1304
875fa795 1305Please see the L<ExtUtils::Mksymlists> documentation for more information
1306about the DL_FUNCS, DL_VARS and FUNCLIST attributes.
1307
864a5fa8 1308=item DL_VARS
8e07c86e 1309
875fa795 1310Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as universal symbols.
1311Used only under AIX, OS/2, VMS and Win32 at present. Defaults to [].
1312(e.g. [ qw(Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
8e07c86e 1313
f1387719 1314=item EXCLUDE_EXT
1315
1316Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This
1317is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
1318details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
1319
1320This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
de592821 1321command line: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
f1387719 1322
864a5fa8 1323=item EXE_FILES
8e07c86e 1324
864a5fa8 1325Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
f1387719 1326INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
864a5fa8 1327again.
8e07c86e 1328
864a5fa8 1329=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
1330
1331The name of the Makefile to be produced. Defaults to the contents of
1332MAKEFILE, but can be overridden. This is used for the second Makefile
1333that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
1334
1335=item FULLPERL
8e07c86e 1336
864a5fa8 1337Perl binary able to run this extension.
1338
762efda7 1339=item FUNCLIST
1340
1341This provides an alternate means to specify function names to be
1342exported from the extension. Its value is a reference to an
1343array of function names to be exported by the extension. These
1344names are passed through unaltered to the linker options file.
1345
864a5fa8 1346=item H
1347
1348Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
1349
cae6c631 1350=item HTMLLIBPODS
1351
1352Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1353 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1354here will be converted to HTML format and installed as was requested
1355at Configure time.
1356
1357=item HTMLSCRIPTPODS
1358
1359Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1360EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1361here will be converted to HTML format and installed as was requested
1362at Configure time.
1363
84902520 1364=item IMPORTS
1365
875fa795 1366This attribute is used to specify names to be imported into the
1367extension. It is only used on OS/2 and Win32.
84902520 1368
864a5fa8 1369=item INC
1370
1371Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
1372
f1387719 1373=item INCLUDE_EXT
1374
1375Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
1376MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
1377doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If
1378INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
1379which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
1380
1381It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
1382filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
1383only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
1384
1385This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
de592821 1386command line: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek'
f1387719 1387
864a5fa8 1388=item INSTALLARCHLIB

1398
1399Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1400choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1401installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1402second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.
8e07c86e 1403

8e07c86e 1429
864a5fa8 1430=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1431
e05e23b1 1432Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1433directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
1434
f1387719 1435=item INSTALLSCRIPT
1436
1437Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1438directory.
1439
875fa795 1440=item INSTALLSITEARCH
e05e23b1 1441
875fa795 1442Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this

1444
875fa795 1445=item INSTALLSITELIB
e05e23b1 1446
875fa795 1447Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
e05e23b1 1448directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
8e07c86e 1449
864a5fa8 1450=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1451
864a5fa8 1452Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1453
f1387719 1454=item INST_BIN
1455
1456Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1457to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1458
864a5fa8 1459=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1460
f1387719 1461Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1462need to use it.
8e07c86e 1463
cae6c631 1464=item INST_HTMLLIBDIR
1465
1466Directory to hold the man pages in HTML format at 'make' time
1467
1468=item INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR
1469
1470Directory to hold the man pages in HTML format at 'make' time
1471
e35b8f9e 1472=item INST_LIB
1473
1474Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1475it.
1476
864a5fa8 1477=item INST_MAN1DIR
8e07c86e 1478
864a5fa8 1479Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1480
864a5fa8 1481=item INST_MAN3DIR
8e07c86e 1482
864a5fa8 1483Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1484
f1387719 1485=item INST_SCRIPT
1486
1487Directory, where executable files should be installed during
c3fed81c 1488'make'. Defaults to "./blib/script", just to have a dummy location during
f1387719 1489testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1490INSTALLSCRIPT.
1491
864a5fa8 1492=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1493
864a5fa8 1494defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1495what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1496specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1497
bab2b58e 1498=item LIB
1499
e35b8f9e 1500LIB should only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time but is allowed as a
1501MakeMaker argument. It has the effect of
bab2b58e 1502setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any
e35b8f9e 1503explicit setting of those arguments (or of PREFIX).
1504INSTALLARCHLIB and INSTALLSITEARCH are set to the corresponding
1505architecture subdirectory.
bab2b58e 1506
762efda7 1507=item LIBPERL_A
1508
1509The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1510extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
1511
8e07c86e 1512=item LIBS
1513
1514An anonymous array of alternative library
1515specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1516at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1517
1518 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1519
1520Mind, that any element of the array
1521contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1522command. So do not specify
1523
1524 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1525
1526See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1527you specify a scalar as in
1528
1529 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1530
1531MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1532
864a5fa8 1533=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1534
e05e23b1 1535'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1536config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1537linkext below).
8e07c86e 1538
864a5fa8 1539=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1540
864a5fa8 1541Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1542make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1543MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1544
864a5fa8 1545=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1546
864a5fa8 1547The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1548
864a5fa8 1549=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1550
864a5fa8 1551Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1552EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1553here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1554at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1555
864a5fa8 1556=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1557
bfa2a9ad 1558Hashref that assigns to *.pm and *.pod files the files into which the
1559manpages are to be written. MakeMaker parses all *.pod and *.pm files
1560for POD directives. Files that contain POD will be the default keys of
1561the MAN3PODS hashref. These will then be converted to man pages during
1562C<make> and will be installed during C<make install>.
8e07c86e 1563
864a5fa8 1564=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1565
864a5fa8 1566If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1567may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1568
864a5fa8 1569=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1570
864a5fa8 1571If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1572name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1573
864a5fa8 1574=item NAME
8e07c86e 1575
864a5fa8 1576Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1577to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1578Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1579
864a5fa8 1580=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1581
a7665c5e 1582MakeMaker will figure out if an extension contains linkable code
864a5fa8 1583anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
a7665c5e 1584accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit if you define
864a5fa8 1585this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1586
e05e23b1 1587=item NOECHO
1588
f1387719 1589Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1590Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1591itself.
1592
864a5fa8 1593=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1594
e05e23b1 1595Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1596
762efda7 1597=item NO_VC
1598
a7665c5e 1599In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
762efda7 1600MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1601set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1602Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1603
864a5fa8 1604=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1605
864a5fa8 1606List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1607string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1608tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1609
e35b8f9e 1610(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME, and OBJ_EXT is $Config{obj_ext}.)
1611
3b03c0f3 1612=item OPTIMIZE
1613
1614Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1615passed to subdirectory makes.
1616
864a5fa8 1617=item PERL
8e07c86e 1618
864a5fa8 1619Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1620
da7f727a 1621=item PERL_CORE
1622
1623Set only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
1624distribution.
1625
864a5fa8 1626=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1627
864a5fa8 1628The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1629to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1630
864a5fa8 1631=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1632
da7f727a 1633Same as for PERL_LIB, but for architecture dependent files.
1634
1635Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
1636distribution (because normally $(PERL_ARCHLIB) is automatically in @INC,
1637and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB).
8e07c86e 1638
864a5fa8 1639=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1640
864a5fa8 1641Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1642
da7f727a 1643Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
1644distribution (because normally $(PERL_LIB) is automatically in @INC,
1645and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB).
1646
e35b8f9e 1647=item PERL_MALLOC_OK
1648
1649defaults to 0. Should be set to TRUE if the extension can work with
1650the memory allocation routines substituted by the Perl malloc() subsystem.
1651This should be applicable to most extensions with exceptions of those
1652
1653=over 4
1654
1655=item *
1656
1657with bugs in memory allocations which are caught by Perl's malloc();
1658
1659=item *
1660
1661which interact with the memory allocator in other ways than via
1662malloc(), realloc(), free(), calloc(), sbrk() and brk();
1663
1664=item *
1665
1666which rely on special alignment which is not provided by Perl's malloc().
1667
1668=back
1669
1670B<NOTE.> Negligence to set this flag in I<any one> of loaded extension
1671nullifies many advantages of Perl's malloc(), such as better usage of
1672system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure
1673of memory allocations, etc.
1674
da7f727a 1675=item PERLRUN
1676
cf699fa3 1677Use this instead of $(PERL) or $(FULLPERL) when you wish to run perl.
1678It will set up extra necessary flags for you.
1679
ffbaec2a 1680=item PERLRUNINST
cf699fa3 1681
1682Use this instead of $(PERL) or $(FULLPERL) when you wish to run
1683perl to work with modules. It will add things like -I$(INST_ARCH)
1684and other necessary flags.
1685
864a5fa8 1686=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1687
864a5fa8 1688Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1689avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1690
2366100d 1691=item PERM_RW
1692
de592821 1693Desired permission for read/writable files. Defaults to C<644>.
2366100d 1694See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rw>.
1695
1696=item PERM_RWX
1697
1698Desired permission for executable files. Defaults to C<755>.
1699See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rwx>.
1700
864a5fa8 1701=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1702
864a5fa8 1703Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1704will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1705and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1706
864a5fa8 1707 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1708
864a5fa8 1709The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
3aa35033 1710themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL
1711file then the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of
1712target file names. E.g.
1713
1714 {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']}
8e07c86e 1715
864a5fa8 1716=item PM
8e07c86e 1717
864a5fa8 1718Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1719
864a5fa8 1720 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1721
a3cb178b 1722By default this will include *.pm and *.pl and the files found in
1723the PMLIBDIRS directories. Defining PM in the
864a5fa8 1724Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1725
864a5fa8 1726=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1727
864a5fa8 1728Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
a3cb178b 1729[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and I<any> files
864a5fa8 1730they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1731library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1732Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1733
e35b8f9e 1734(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME.)
1735
131aa089 1736=item PM_FILTER
1737
1738A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense (input from stdin, output
1739to stdout) that is passed on each .pm file during the build (in the
1740pm_to_blib() phase). It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done.
1741
1742Great care is necessary when defining the command if quoting needs to be
1743done. For instance, you would need to say:
1744
1745 {'PM_FILTER' => 'grep -v \\"^\\#\\"'}
1746
1747to remove all the leading coments on the fly during the build. The
1748extra \\ are necessary, unfortunately, because this variable is interpolated
1749within the context of a Perl program built on the command line, and double
1750quotes are what is used with the -e switch to build that command line. The
1751# is escaped for the Makefile, since what is going to be generated will then
1752be:
1753
1754 PM_FILTER = grep -v \"^\#\"
1755
1756Without the \\ before the #, we'd have the start of a Makefile comment,
1757and the macro would be incorrectly defined.
1758
2aea4d40 1759=item POLLUTE
1760
1761Release 5.005 grandfathered old global symbol names by providing preprocessor
a7665c5e 1762macros for extension source compatibility. As of release 5.6, these
2aea4d40 1763preprocessor definitions are not available by default. The POLLUTE flag
1764specifies that the old names should still be defined:
1765
1766 perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
1767
1768Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install
a7665c5e 1769a module under 5.6 or later.
2aea4d40 1770
875fa795 1771=item PPM_INSTALL_EXEC
1772
20e08411 1773Name of the executable used to run C<PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT> below. (e.g. perl)
875fa795 1774
1775=item PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT
1776
1777Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager after
1778the installation of a package.
1779
864a5fa8 1780=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1781
864a5fa8 1782Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1783probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1784%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1785branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1786decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1787them, of course).
a4260cbc 1788
f1387719 1789=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1790
f1387719 1791Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1792extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1793desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1794only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1795
b2340c53 1796=item PREREQ_FATAL
1797
1798Bool. If this parameter is true, failing to have the required modules
1799(or the right versions thereof) will be fatal. perl Makefile.PL will die
1800with the proper message.
1801
1802Note: see L<Test::Harness> for a shortcut for stopping tests early if
1803you are missing dependencies.
1804
1805Do I<not> use this parameter for simple requirements, which could be resolved
1806at a later time, e.g. after an unsuccessful B<make test> of your module.
1807
1808It is I<extremely> rare to have to use C<PREREQ_FATAL> at all!
1809
88d69b28 1810=item PREREQ_PRINT
1811
1812Bool. If this parameter is true, the prerequisites will be printed to
1813stdout and MakeMaker will exit. The output format is
1814

8e07c86e 1828
da7f727a 1829Arrayref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
a7665c5e 1830Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible
1831speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it
f1387719 1832if you really need it.

da7f727a 1834=item TEST_LIBS
1835

1837$(PERL) $(TEST_LIBS) -e '...' for example.
1838
864a5fa8 1839=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1840
864a5fa8 1841Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1842in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1843not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1844precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1845precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1846typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1847
864a5fa8 1848=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1849
864a5fa8 1850Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
18510.1.
8e07c86e 1852
0d8023a2 1853=item VERSION_FROM
1854
1855Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1856MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1857routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1858single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1859that contains the regular expression
1860
84902520 1861 /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/
0d8023a2 1862
1863will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1864B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1865MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1866
1867 $VERSION = '1.00';
84902520 1868 *VERSION = \'1.01';
39234879 1869 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.4 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1870 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
84902520 1871 *FOO::VERSION = \'1.11';
e35b8f9e 1872 our $VERSION = 1.2.3; # new for perl5.6.0
0d8023a2 1873
1874but these will fail:
1875
1876 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1877 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1878 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1879
e35b8f9e 1880(Putting C<my> or C<local> on the preceding line will work o.k.)
1881
84902520 1882The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to
1883Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain
1884during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish
1885change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile
1886contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you
1887would have to do something like
1888
1889 depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
1890
1891See attribute C<depend> below.
0d8023a2 1892
864a5fa8 1893=item XS
8e07c86e 1894
864a5fa8 1895Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1896
864a5fa8 1897 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1898
864a5fa8 1899The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1900deleted by a make clean.

4e68a208 1912defaults to the empty string.

864a5fa8 1943
1944If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1945needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1946DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1947your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1948'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1949links the rest. Default is 'best'.

1985=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1986
1987If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1988attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1989Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1990the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1991either say:
1992
1993 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1994
1995or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1996
8e07c86e 1997 sub MY::c_o {
14870ecd 1998 package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
1999 my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
f1387719 2000 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
2001 $inherited;
8e07c86e 2002 }
2003
bdda3fbd 2004If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into
2005other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient. You'd
2006better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities
2007for embedding.
005c1a0e 2008
2009If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
bdda3fbd 2010subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
2011F<perl5-porters@perl.org> or F<comp.lang.perl.moderated> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 2012
3b03c0f3 2013For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
2014
2015Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
2016Makefile:
2017
2018 sub MY::postamble {
2019 '
2020 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
2021 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
2022 ';
2023 }
2024
2025
f1387719 2026=head2 Hintsfile support
2027
2028MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
2029Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
2030in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
2031like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
2032name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
2033MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
2034execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
2035which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
2036
2037The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
2038WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
2039reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
2040override or create an attribute you would say something like
2041
2042 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
2043
005c1a0e 2044=head2 Distribution Support
2045
2046For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
2047targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
2048where additional documentation can be found.
2049
2050=over 4
2051
2052=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 2053
005c1a0e 2054reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
2055MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
2056details)
2057
4633a7c4 2058=item make skipcheck
2059
2060reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
2061C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
2062details)
2063
005c1a0e 2064=item make distclean
8e07c86e 2065
005c1a0e 2066does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
a7665c5e 2067needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure that the
005c1a0e 2068MANIFEST file is ok.
2069
2070=item make manifest
8e07c86e 2071
005c1a0e 2072rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
2073ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
2074
2075=item make distdir
8e07c86e 2076
005c1a0e 2077Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
2078directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
2079exists, it will be removed first.
2080
8e07c86e 2081=item make disttest
2082
2083Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 2084a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 2085
005c1a0e 2086=item make tardist
8e07c86e 2087
3b03c0f3 2088First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 2089command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
2090UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
2091otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 2092deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
2093defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2094
2095=item make dist
8e07c86e 2096
005c1a0e 2097Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
2098
2099=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 2100
005c1a0e 2101Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
2102
2103=item make shdist
8e07c86e 2104
3b03c0f3 2105First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2106command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
2107deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
2108$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
2109properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
2110
2111=item make zipdist
2112
2113First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2114command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
2115zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
2116$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2117
2118=item make ci
8e07c86e 2119
2120Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
2121
2122=back
005c1a0e 2123
2124Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
2125reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
2126following parameters are recognized:
2127
8e07c86e 2128 CI ('ci -u')
5f8e730b 2129 COMPRESS ('gzip --best')
005c1a0e 2130 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 2131 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 2132 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 2133 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
2134 SHAR ('shar')
5f8e730b 2135 SUFFIX ('.gz')
8e07c86e 2136 TAR ('tar')
2137 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 2138 ZIP ('zip')
2139 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')
005c1a0e 2140
2141An example:
2142
5f8e730b 2143 WriteMakefile( 'dist' => { COMPRESS=>"bzip2", SUFFIX=>".bz2" })

1b171b8d 2145=head2 Disabling an extension
2146
2147If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
2148to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
2149can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
2150"usual" build targets. To do so, use
2151
2152 ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile();
2153
2154instead of WriteMakefile().
2155
2156This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
2157OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
2158in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
2159dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
2160different means on the current architecture).
