8e07c86e 300The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
301most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
302subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
303supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 304
4633a7c4 305Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
306found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
307of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
308the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
309'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
310so.

882from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
883Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
884
885It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
886that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
887it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
888
f1387719 889MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
890directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
891object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
892Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().

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

f1387719 1379Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into.
e05e23b1 1380
1381=item INSTALLDIRS
1382
1383Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1384choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1385installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1386second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.
8e07c86e 1387

8e07c86e 1413
864a5fa8 1414=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1415
e05e23b1 1416Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1417directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
1418
f1387719 1419=item INSTALLSCRIPT
1420
1421Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1422directory.
1423
875fa795 1424=item INSTALLSITEARCH
e05e23b1 1425
875fa795 1426Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
e05e23b1 1427directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
1428
875fa795 1429=item INSTALLSITELIB
e05e23b1 1430
875fa795 1431Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
e05e23b1 1432directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
8e07c86e 1433
864a5fa8 1434=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1435
864a5fa8 1436Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1437
f1387719 1438=item INST_BIN
1439
1440Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1441to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1442
864a5fa8 1443=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1444
f1387719 1445Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1446need to use it.
8e07c86e 1447
cae6c631 1448=item INST_HTMLLIBDIR
1449
1450Directory to hold the man pages in HTML format at 'make' time
1451
1452=item INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR
1453
1454Directory to hold the man pages in HTML format at 'make' time
1455
e35b8f9e 1456=item INST_LIB
1457
1458Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1459it.
1460
864a5fa8 1461=item INST_MAN1DIR
8e07c86e 1462
864a5fa8 1463Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1464
864a5fa8 1465=item INST_MAN3DIR

864a5fa8 1467Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1468
f1387719 1469=item INST_SCRIPT
1470
1471Directory, where executable files should be installed during
c3fed81c 1472'make'. Defaults to "./blib/script", just to have a dummy location during
f1387719 1473testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1474INSTALLSCRIPT.
1475
864a5fa8 1476=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1477
864a5fa8 1478defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1479what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1480specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1481
bab2b58e 1482=item LIB
1483
e35b8f9e 1484LIB should only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time but is allowed as a
1485MakeMaker argument. It has the effect of
bab2b58e 1486setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any
e35b8f9e 1487explicit setting of those arguments (or of PREFIX).
1488INSTALLARCHLIB and INSTALLSITEARCH are set to the corresponding
1489architecture subdirectory.
bab2b58e 1490
762efda7 1491=item LIBPERL_A
1492
1493The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1494extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
1495
8e07c86e 1496=item LIBS
1497
1498An anonymous array of alternative library
1499specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1500at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1501
1502 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1503
1504Mind, that any element of the array
1505contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1506command. So do not specify
1507
1508 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1509
1510See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1511you specify a scalar as in
1512
1513 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1514
1515MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1516
864a5fa8 1517=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1518
e05e23b1 1519'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1520config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1521linkext below).
8e07c86e 1522
864a5fa8 1523=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1524
864a5fa8 1525Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1526make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1527MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1528
864a5fa8 1529=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1530
864a5fa8 1531The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1532
864a5fa8 1533=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1534
864a5fa8 1535Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1536EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1537here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1538at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1539
864a5fa8 1540=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1541
bfa2a9ad 1542Hashref that assigns to *.pm and *.pod files the files into which the
1543manpages are to be written. MakeMaker parses all *.pod and *.pm files
1544for POD directives. Files that contain POD will be the default keys of
1545the MAN3PODS hashref. These will then be converted to man pages during
1546C<make> and will be installed during C<make install>.
8e07c86e 1547
864a5fa8 1548=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1549
864a5fa8 1550If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1551may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1552
864a5fa8 1553=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1554
864a5fa8 1555If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1556name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1557
864a5fa8 1558=item NAME
8e07c86e 1559
864a5fa8 1560Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1561to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1562Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1563
864a5fa8 1564=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1565
a7665c5e 1566MakeMaker will figure out if an extension contains linkable code
864a5fa8 1567anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
a7665c5e 1568accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit if you define
864a5fa8 1569this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1570
e05e23b1 1571=item NOECHO
1572
f1387719 1573Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1574Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1575itself.
1576
864a5fa8 1577=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1578
e05e23b1 1579Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1580
762efda7 1581=item NO_VC
1582
a7665c5e 1583In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
762efda7 1584MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1585set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1586Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1587
864a5fa8 1588=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1589
864a5fa8 1590List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1591string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1592tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1593
e35b8f9e 1594(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME, and OBJ_EXT is $Config{obj_ext}.)
1595
3b03c0f3 1596=item OPTIMIZE
1597
1598Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1599passed to subdirectory makes.
1600
864a5fa8 1601=item PERL
8e07c86e 1602
864a5fa8 1603Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1604
da7f727a 1605=item PERL_CORE
1606
1607Set only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
1608distribution.
1609
864a5fa8 1610=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1611
864a5fa8 1612The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1613to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1614
864a5fa8 1615=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1616
da7f727a 1617Same as for PERL_LIB, but for architecture dependent files.
1618
1619Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
1620distribution (because normally $(PERL_ARCHLIB) is automatically in @INC,
1621and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB).
8e07c86e 1622
864a5fa8 1623=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1624
864a5fa8 1625Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1626
da7f727a 1627Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
1628distribution (because normally $(PERL_LIB) is automatically in @INC,
1629and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB).
1630
e35b8f9e 1631=item PERL_MALLOC_OK
1632
1633defaults to 0. Should be set to TRUE if the extension can work with
1634the memory allocation routines substituted by the Perl malloc() subsystem.
1635This should be applicable to most extensions with exceptions of those
1636
1637=over 4
1638
1639=item *
1640
1641with bugs in memory allocations which are caught by Perl's malloc();
1642
1643=item *
1644
1645which interact with the memory allocator in other ways than via
1646malloc(), realloc(), free(), calloc(), sbrk() and brk();
1647
1648=item *
1649
1650which rely on special alignment which is not provided by Perl's malloc().
1651
1652=back
1653
1654B<NOTE.> Negligence to set this flag in I<any one> of loaded extension
1655nullifies many advantages of Perl's malloc(), such as better usage of
1656system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure
1657of memory allocations, etc.
1658
da7f727a 1659=item PERLRUN
1660
cf699fa3 1661Use this instead of $(PERL) or $(FULLPERL) when you wish to run perl.
1662It will set up extra necessary flags for you.
1663
ffbaec2a 1664=item PERLRUNINST
cf699fa3 1665
1666Use this instead of $(PERL) or $(FULLPERL) when you wish to run
1667perl to work with modules. It will add things like -I$(INST_ARCH)
1668and other necessary flags.
1669
864a5fa8 1670=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1671
864a5fa8 1672Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1673avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1674
2366100d 1675=item PERM_RW
1676
de592821 1677Desired permission for read/writable files. Defaults to C<644>.
2366100d 1678See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rw>.
1679
1680=item PERM_RWX
1681
1682Desired permission for executable files. Defaults to C<755>.
1683See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rwx>.
1684
864a5fa8 1685=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1686
864a5fa8 1687Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1688will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1689and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1690
864a5fa8 1691 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1692
864a5fa8 1693The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
3aa35033 1694themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL
1695file then the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of
1696target file names. E.g.
1697
1698 {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']}
8e07c86e 1699
864a5fa8 1700=item PM
8e07c86e 1701
864a5fa8 1702Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1703
864a5fa8 1704 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1705
a3cb178b 1706By default this will include *.pm and *.pl and the files found in
1707the PMLIBDIRS directories. Defining PM in the
864a5fa8 1708Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1709
864a5fa8 1710=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1711
864a5fa8 1712Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
a3cb178b 1713[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and I<any> files
864a5fa8 1714they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1715library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1716Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1717
e35b8f9e 1718(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME.)
1719
131aa089 1720=item PM_FILTER
1721
1722A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense (input from stdin, output
1723to stdout) that is passed on each .pm file during the build (in the
1724pm_to_blib() phase). It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done.
1725
1726Great care is necessary when defining the command if quoting needs to be
1727done. For instance, you would need to say:
1728
1729 {'PM_FILTER' => 'grep -v \\"^\\#\\"'}
1730
1731to remove all the leading coments on the fly during the build. The
1732extra \\ are necessary, unfortunately, because this variable is interpolated
1733within the context of a Perl program built on the command line, and double
1734quotes are what is used with the -e switch to build that command line. The
1735# is escaped for the Makefile, since what is going to be generated will then
1736be:
1737
1738 PM_FILTER = grep -v \"^\#\"
1739
1740Without the \\ before the #, we'd have the start of a Makefile comment,
1741and the macro would be incorrectly defined.
1742
2aea4d40 1743=item POLLUTE
1744
1745Release 5.005 grandfathered old global symbol names by providing preprocessor
a7665c5e 1746macros for extension source compatibility. As of release 5.6, these
2aea4d40 1747preprocessor definitions are not available by default. The POLLUTE flag
1748specifies that the old names should still be defined:
1749
1750 perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
1751
1752Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install
a7665c5e 1753a module under 5.6 or later.
2aea4d40 1754
875fa795 1755=item PPM_INSTALL_EXEC
1756
20e08411 1757Name of the executable used to run C<PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT> below. (e.g. perl)
875fa795 1758
1759=item PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT
1760
1761Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager after
1762the installation of a package.
1763
864a5fa8 1764=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1765
864a5fa8 1766Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1767probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1768%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1769branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1770decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1771them, of course).
a4260cbc 1772
f1387719 1773=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1774
f1387719 1775Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1776extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1777desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1778only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1779
b2340c53 1780=item PREREQ_FATAL
1781
1782Bool. If this parameter is true, failing to have the required modules
1783(or the right versions thereof) will be fatal. perl Makefile.PL will die
1784with the proper message.
1785
1786Note: see L<Test::Harness> for a shortcut for stopping tests early if
1787you are missing dependencies.
1788
1789Do I<not> use this parameter for simple requirements, which could be resolved
1790at a later time, e.g. after an unsuccessful B<make test> of your module.
1791
1792It is I<extremely> rare to have to use C<PREREQ_FATAL> at all!
1793
88d69b28 1794=item PREREQ_PRINT
1795
1796Bool. If this parameter is true, the prerequisites will be printed to
1797stdout and MakeMaker will exit. The output format is
1798
1799$PREREQ_PM = {
1800 'A::B' => Vers1,
1801 'C::D' => Vers2,
1802 ...
1803 };
1804
1805=item PRINT_PREREQ
1806
1807RedHatism for C<PREREQ_PRINT>. The output format is different, though:
1808
1809 perl(A::B)>=Vers1 perl(C::D)>=Vers2 ...
1810
864a5fa8 1811=item SKIP
8e07c86e 1812
da7f727a 1813Arrayref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
a7665c5e 1814Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible
1815speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it
f1387719 1816if you really need it.
8e07c86e 1817
da7f727a 1818=item TEST_LIBS
1819
cf699fa3 1820The set of -I's necessary to run a "make test". Use as:
1821$(PERL) $(TEST_LIBS) -e '...' for example.
1822
864a5fa8 1823=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1824
864a5fa8 1825Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1826in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1827not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1828precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1829precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1830typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1831
864a5fa8 1832=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1833
864a5fa8 1834Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
18350.1.
8e07c86e 1836
0d8023a2 1837=item VERSION_FROM
1838
1839Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1840MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1841routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1842single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1843that contains the regular expression
1844
84902520 1845 /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/
0d8023a2 1846
1847will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1848B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1849MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1850
1851 $VERSION = '1.00';
84902520 1852 *VERSION = \'1.01';
2366100d 1853 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.222 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1854 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
84902520 1855 *FOO::VERSION = \'1.11';
e35b8f9e 1856 our $VERSION = 1.2.3; # new for perl5.6.0
0d8023a2 1857
1858but these will fail:
1859
1860 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1861 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1862 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1863
e35b8f9e 1864(Putting C<my> or C<local> on the preceding line will work o.k.)
1865
84902520 1866The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to
1867Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain
1868during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish
1869change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile
1870contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you
1871would have to do something like
1872
1873 depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
1874
1875See attribute C<depend> below.
0d8023a2 1876
864a5fa8 1877=item XS
8e07c86e 1878
864a5fa8 1879Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1880
864a5fa8 1881 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1882
864a5fa8 1883The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1884deleted by a make clean.

1889C<-extern>. Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
1890that purpose.

864a5fa8 1892=item XSPROTOARG
4633a7c4 1893

864a5fa8 1895C<-noprototypes>. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker
4e68a208 1896defaults to the empty string.
1897
0d8023a2 1898=item XS_VERSION
1899
1900Your version number for the .xs file of this package. This defaults
1901to the value of the VERSION attribute.

864a5fa8 1927
1928If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1929needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1930DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1931your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1932'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1933links the rest. Default is 'best'.

1969=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1970
1971If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1972attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1973Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1974the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1975either say:
1976
1977 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1978
1979or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1980
8e07c86e 1981 sub MY::c_o {
14870ecd 1982 package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
1983 my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
f1387719 1984 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
1985 $inherited;
8e07c86e 1986 }
1987
bdda3fbd 1988If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into
1989other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient. You'd
1990better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities
1991for embedding.
005c1a0e 1992
1993If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
bdda3fbd 1994subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
1995F<perl5-porters@perl.org> or F<comp.lang.perl.moderated> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 1996
3b03c0f3 1997For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
1998
1999Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
2000Makefile:
2001
2002 sub MY::postamble {
2003 '
2004 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
2005 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
2006 ';
2007 }
2008
2009
f1387719 2010=head2 Hintsfile support
2011
2012MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
2013Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
2014in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
2015like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
2016name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
2017MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
2018execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
2019which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
2020
2021The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
2022WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
2023reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
2024override or create an attribute you would say something like
2025
2026 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
2027
005c1a0e 2028=head2 Distribution Support
2029
2030For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
2031targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
2032where additional documentation can be found.
2033
2034=over 4
2035
2036=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 2037
005c1a0e 2038reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
2039MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
2040details)
2041
4633a7c4 2042=item make skipcheck
2043
2044reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
2045C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
2046details)
2047
005c1a0e 2048=item make distclean
8e07c86e 2049
005c1a0e 2050does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
a7665c5e 2051needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure that the
005c1a0e 2052MANIFEST file is ok.
2053
2054=item make manifest
8e07c86e 2055
005c1a0e 2056rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
2057ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
2058
2059=item make distdir
8e07c86e 2060
005c1a0e 2061Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
2062directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
2063exists, it will be removed first.
2064
8e07c86e 2065=item make disttest
2066
2067Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 2068a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 2069
005c1a0e 2070=item make tardist
8e07c86e 2071
3b03c0f3 2072First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 2073command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
2074UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
2075otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 2076deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
2077defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2078
2079=item make dist
8e07c86e 2080
005c1a0e 2081Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
2082
2083=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 2084
005c1a0e 2085Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
2086
2087=item make shdist
8e07c86e 2088
3b03c0f3 2089First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2090command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
2091deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
2092$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
2093properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
2094
2095=item make zipdist
2096
2097First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2098command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
2099zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
2100$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2101
2102=item make ci
8e07c86e 2103
2104Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
2105
2106=back
005c1a0e 2107
2108Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
2109reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
2110following parameters are recognized:
2111
8e07c86e 2112 CI ('ci -u')
5f8e730b 2113 COMPRESS ('gzip --best')
005c1a0e 2114 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 2115 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 2116 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 2117 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
2118 SHAR ('shar')
5f8e730b 2119 SUFFIX ('.gz')
8e07c86e 2120 TAR ('tar')
2121 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 2122 ZIP ('zip')
2123 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')
005c1a0e 2124
2125An example:
2126
5f8e730b 2127 WriteMakefile( 'dist' => { COMPRESS=>"bzip2", SUFFIX=>".bz2" })

1b171b8d 2129=head2 Disabling an extension
2130
2131If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
2132to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
2133can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
2134"usual" build targets. To do so, use
2135
2136 ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile();
2137
2138instead of WriteMakefile().
2139
2140This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
2141OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
2142in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
2143dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
2144different means on the current architecture).
