8e07c86e 338The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
339most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
340subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
341supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 342
4633a7c4 343Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
344found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
345of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
346the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
347'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
348so.

842
005c1a0e 843=head1 DESCRIPTION
844
845This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
846from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
847Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
848
849It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
850that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
851it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
852
f1387719 853MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
854directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
855object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
856Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().
8e07c86e 857
f1387719 858=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
8e07c86e 859
f1387719 860The short answer is: Don't. Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking
861about writing a module. For so called pm-only modules that consist of
862C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has the very useful C<-X> switch. This will
863generate dummy files of all kinds that are useful for the module
864developer.
8e07c86e 865
f1387719 866The medium answer is:
8e07c86e 867
f1387719 868 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
869 WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
8e07c86e 870
f1387719 871The long answer is below.
005c1a0e 872
873=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
874
f1387719 875The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
005c1a0e 876
877 perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
878 make
8e07c86e 879 make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
880 make install # See below
005c1a0e 881
882The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
e05e23b1 883form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
005c1a0e 884
e05e23b1 885 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
005c1a0e 886
887Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
888
889 make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
8e07c86e 890 make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
891 make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib)
e05e23b1 892 make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
005c1a0e 893 make dist # see below the Distribution Support section
894
e05e23b1 895=head2 make test
896
897MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named "test.pl" in the
898current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
899of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
900set of perl C<-I> options.
901
902MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
903add commands to the test target of the generated Makefile that execute
904all matching files via the L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I>
905switches set correctly.
906
907=head2 make install
005c1a0e 908
8e07c86e 909make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
f1387719 910the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_MAN1DIR, and
911INST_MAN3DIR. All these default to something below ./blib if you are
912I<not> building below the perl source directory. If you I<are>
8e07c86e 913building below the perl source, INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to
f1387719 914../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not defined.
005c1a0e 915
e05e23b1 916The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
917below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
918counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
919INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
005c1a0e 920
e05e23b1 921 INSTALLDIRS set to
922 perl site
923
e05e23b1 924 INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH
3b03c0f3 925 INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB
f1387719 926 INST_BIN INSTALLBIN
927 INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
e05e23b1 928 INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR
929 INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR
005c1a0e 930
8e07c86e 931The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
932($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
005c1a0e 933
3b03c0f3 934You can check the values of these variables on your system with
935
936 perl -MConfig -le 'print join $/, map
937 sprintf("%20s: %s", $_, $Config{$_}),
938 grep /^install/, keys %Config'
939
f1387719 940And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
941searched by perl, run
005c1a0e 942
f1387719 943 perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
005c1a0e 944
005c1a0e 945
8e07c86e 946=head2 PREFIX attribute
005c1a0e 947
0d8023a2 948The PREFIX attribute can be used to set the INSTALL* attributes in one
949go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place
005c1a0e 950
8e07c86e 951 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
005c1a0e 952
0d8023a2 953This will replace the string specified by $Config{prefix} in all
954$Config{install*} values.
005c1a0e 955
956Note, that the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not by perl by
8e07c86e 957default, nor by make.
005c1a0e 958
005c1a0e 959If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS
960(Andrew File System) or relatives, then the defaults for
f1387719 961INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate,
005c1a0e 962and this incantation will be the best:
963
964 perl Makefile.PL; make; make test
965 make install
966
8e07c86e 967make install per default writes some documentation of what has been
e05e23b1 968done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
969can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
8e07c86e 970
971=head2 AFS users
972
973will have to specify the installation directories as these most
974probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
975have to do this by calling
976
e05e23b1 977 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
f1387719 978 INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
8e07c86e 979 make
980
e05e23b1 981Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
982extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
983still valid.
005c1a0e 984
8e07c86e 985=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
005c1a0e 986
987An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
988systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
989dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
990with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
991by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
992is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
993
994 make perl
995
996That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
e05e23b1 997extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB , SITELIBEXP,
998and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
999UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you
1000want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you
1001delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through
1002for linkable libraries again.
005c1a0e 1003
1004The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
1005resides on your machine with
1006
1007 make inst_perl
1008
1009To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
1010
1011 perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
1012 make myperl
1013 make inst_perl
1014
1015or say
1016
1017 perl Makefile.PL
1018 make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1019 make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1020
1021In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
1022C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
1023
8e07c86e 1024make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been
1025done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
1026can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
005c1a0e 1027
e05e23b1 1028Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
1029existing perl binary. Use with care!
005c1a0e 1030
8e07c86e 1031Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
1032your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
1033set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
1034
1035 perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended
1036
1037or
1038
1039 make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems
1040
005c1a0e 1041=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
1042
1043MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
e05e23b1 1044located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
1045during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
1046existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
005c1a0e 1047
1048Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
e05e23b1 1049directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
1050is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
1051itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
1052below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
1053directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
1054extensions that come with perl.
005c1a0e 1055
1056If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
e05e23b1 1057source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
1058C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
1059a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
005c1a0e 1060
1061 PERL_INC = PERL_SRC
1062 PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1063 PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1064 INST_LIB = PERL_LIB
1065 INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
1066
1067If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
1068will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
1069of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
1070
e05e23b1 1071 PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE
1072 PERL_LIB = $privlibexp
1073 PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
1074 INST_LIB = ./blib/lib
1075 INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
005c1a0e 1076
1077If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
1078command line as shown in the previous section.
1079
005c1a0e 1080
f1387719 1081=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
005c1a0e 1082
f1387719 1083If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
1084MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
1085relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
1086by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
1087sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
1088then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
1089INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config ,
1090otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
1091for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
005c1a0e 1092
f1387719 1093MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
1094internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention,
1095that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
1096used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
1097be necessary, and should only be done, if the author of a package
1098recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
005c1a0e 1099
e05e23b1 1100=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
005c1a0e 1101
1102The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
1103or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
1104
8e07c86e 1105=cut
005c1a0e 1106
864a5fa8 1107# The following "=item C" is used by the attrib_help routine
8e07c86e 1108# likewise the "=back" below. So be careful when changing it!
1109
1110=over 2
1111
864a5fa8 1112=item C
8e07c86e 1113
864a5fa8 1114Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
1115and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
1116currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
8e07c86e 1117
864a5fa8 1118=item CONFIG
8e07c86e 1119
864a5fa8 1120Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
1121config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
1122ar
1123cc
1124cccdlflags
1125ccdlflags
1126dlext
1127dlsrc
1128ld
1129lddlflags
1130ldflags
1131libc
1132lib_ext
1133obj_ext
1134ranlib
e05e23b1 1135sitelibexp
1136sitearchexp
864a5fa8 1137so
8e07c86e 1138
1139=item CONFIGURE
1140
e05e23b1 1141CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
1142hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS => ...}, that have to
8e07c86e 1143be determined by some evaluation method.
1144
864a5fa8 1145=item DEFINE
8e07c86e 1146
864a5fa8 1147Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
8e07c86e 1148
864a5fa8 1149=item DIR
8e07c86e 1150
864a5fa8 1151Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
1152] in ext/SDBM_File
8e07c86e 1153
864a5fa8 1154=item DISTNAME
8e07c86e 1155
e05e23b1 1156Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to
864a5fa8 1157NAME above.
8e07c86e 1158
864a5fa8 1159=item DL_FUNCS
8e07c86e 1160
864a5fa8 1161Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as
1162universal symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name
1163and an array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX
1164(export lists) and VMS (linker options) at present. The routine
1165names supplied will be expanded in the same way as XSUB names are
1166expanded by the XS() macro. Defaults to
8e07c86e 1167
864a5fa8 1168 {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
8e07c86e 1169
864a5fa8 1170e.g.
8e07c86e 1171
864a5fa8 1172 {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
1173 "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
8e07c86e 1174
864a5fa8 1175=item DL_VARS
8e07c86e 1176
864a5fa8 1177Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as
1178universal symbols. Used only under AIX (export lists) and VMS
1179(linker options) at present. Defaults to []. (e.g. [ qw(
1180Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
8e07c86e 1181
f1387719 1182=item EXCLUDE_EXT
1183
1184Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This
1185is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
1186details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
1187
1188This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
1189commandline: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
1190
864a5fa8 1191=item EXE_FILES
8e07c86e 1192
864a5fa8 1193Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
f1387719 1194INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
864a5fa8 1195again.
8e07c86e 1196
3b03c0f3 1197=item NO_VC
1198
1199In general any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
1200MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1201set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1202Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1203
864a5fa8 1204=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
1205
1206The name of the Makefile to be produced. Defaults to the contents of
1207MAKEFILE, but can be overridden. This is used for the second Makefile
1208that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
1209
1210=item FULLPERL
8e07c86e 1211
864a5fa8 1212Perl binary able to run this extension.
1213
1214=item H
1215
1216Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
1217
1218=item INC
1219
1220Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
1221
f1387719 1222=item INCLUDE_EXT
1223
1224Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
1225MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
1226doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If
1227INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
1228which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
1229
1230It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
1231filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
1232only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
1233
1234This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
1235commandline: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek'
1236
864a5fa8 1237=item INSTALLARCHLIB
1238
e05e23b1 1239Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1240directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
864a5fa8 1241
1242=item INSTALLBIN
1243
f1387719 1244Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into.
e05e23b1 1245
1246=item INSTALLDIRS
1247
1248Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1249choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1250installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1251second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.
8e07c86e 1252
1253=item INSTALLMAN1DIR
1254
864a5fa8 1255This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1256$Config{installman1dir}.
1257
8e07c86e 1258=item INSTALLMAN3DIR
1259
864a5fa8 1260This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1261$Config{installman3dir}.
8e07c86e 1262
864a5fa8 1263=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1264
e05e23b1 1265Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1266directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
1267
f1387719 1268=item INSTALLSCRIPT
1269
1270Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1271directory.
1272
e05e23b1 1273=item INSTALLSITELIB
1274
1275Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1276directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
1277
1278=item INSTALLSITEARCH
1279
1280Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1281directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
8e07c86e 1282
864a5fa8 1283=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1284
864a5fa8 1285Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1286
f1387719 1287=item INST_BIN
1288
1289Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1290to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1291
864a5fa8 1292=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1293
f1387719 1294Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1295need to use it.
8e07c86e 1296
864a5fa8 1297=item INST_LIB
8e07c86e 1298
864a5fa8 1299Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1300it.
8e07c86e 1301
864a5fa8 1302=item INST_MAN1DIR
8e07c86e 1303
864a5fa8 1304Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1305
864a5fa8 1306=item INST_MAN3DIR
8e07c86e 1307
864a5fa8 1308Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1309
f1387719 1310=item INST_SCRIPT
1311
1312Directory, where executable files should be installed during
1313'make'. Defaults to "./blib/bin", just to have a dummy location during
1314testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1315INSTALLSCRIPT.
1316
864a5fa8 1317=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1318
864a5fa8 1319defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1320what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1321specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1322
864a5fa8 1323=item LIBPERL_A
8e07c86e 1324
864a5fa8 1325The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1326extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
8e07c86e 1327
1328=item LIBS
1329
1330An anonymous array of alternative library
1331specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1332at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1333
1334 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1335
1336Mind, that any element of the array
1337contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1338command. So do not specify
1339
1340 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1341
1342See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1343you specify a scalar as in
1344
1345 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1346
1347MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1348
864a5fa8 1349=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1350
e05e23b1 1351'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1352config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1353linkext below).
8e07c86e 1354
864a5fa8 1355=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1356
864a5fa8 1357Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1358make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1359MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1360
864a5fa8 1361=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1362
864a5fa8 1363The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1364
864a5fa8 1365=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1366
864a5fa8 1367Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1368EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1369here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1370at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1371
864a5fa8 1372=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1373
864a5fa8 1374Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1375 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1376here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1377at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1378
864a5fa8 1379=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1380
864a5fa8 1381If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1382may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1383
864a5fa8 1384=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1385
864a5fa8 1386If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1387name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1388
864a5fa8 1389=item NAME
8e07c86e 1390
864a5fa8 1391Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1392to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1393Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1394
864a5fa8 1395=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1396
864a5fa8 1397MakeMaker will figure out, if an extension contains linkable code
1398anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
1399accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit, if you define
1400this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1401
e05e23b1 1402=item NOECHO
1403
f1387719 1404Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1405Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1406itself.
1407
864a5fa8 1408=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1409
e05e23b1 1410Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1411
864a5fa8 1412=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1413
864a5fa8 1414List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1415string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1416tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1417
3b03c0f3 1418=item OPTIMIZE
1419
1420Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1421passed to subdirectory makes.
1422
864a5fa8 1423=item PERL
8e07c86e 1424
864a5fa8 1425Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1426
864a5fa8 1427=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1428
864a5fa8 1429The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1430to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1431
864a5fa8 1432=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1433
864a5fa8 1434Same as above for architecture dependent files
8e07c86e 1435
864a5fa8 1436=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1437
864a5fa8 1438Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1439
864a5fa8 1440=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1441
864a5fa8 1442Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1443avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1444
864a5fa8 1445=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1446
864a5fa8 1447Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1448will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1449and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1450
864a5fa8 1451 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1452
864a5fa8 1453The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
1454themselves.
8e07c86e 1455
864a5fa8 1456=item PM
8e07c86e 1457
864a5fa8 1458Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1459
864a5fa8 1460 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1461
864a5fa8 1462By default this will include *.pm and *.pl. If a lib directory
1463exists and is not listed in DIR (above) then any *.pm and *.pl files
1464it contains will also be included by default. Defining PM in the
1465Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1466
864a5fa8 1467=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1468
864a5fa8 1469Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
1470[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and any files
1471they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1472library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1473Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1474
864a5fa8 1475=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1476
864a5fa8 1477Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1478probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1479%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1480branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1481decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1482them, of course).
8e07c86e 1483
f1387719 1484=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1485
f1387719 1486Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1487extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1488desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1489only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1490
864a5fa8 1491=item SKIP
8e07c86e 1492
864a5fa8 1493Arryref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
f1387719 1494Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the neglectible
1495speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it,
1496if you really need it.
8e07c86e 1497
864a5fa8 1498=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1499
864a5fa8 1500Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1501in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1502not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1503precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1504precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1505typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1506
864a5fa8 1507=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1508
864a5fa8 1509Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
15100.1.
8e07c86e 1511
0d8023a2 1512=item VERSION_FROM
1513
1514Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1515MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1516routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1517single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1518that contains the regular expression
1519
1520 /(\$[\w:]*\bVERSION)\b.*=/
1521
1522will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1523B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1524MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1525
1526 $VERSION = '1.00';
f1387719 1527 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.201 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1528 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
1529
1530but these will fail:
1531
1532 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1533 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1534 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1535
1536The file named in VERSION_FROM is added as a dependency to Makefile to
1537guarantee, that the Makefile contains the correct VERSION macro after
1538a change of the file.
1539
864a5fa8 1540=item XS
8e07c86e 1541
864a5fa8 1542Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1543
864a5fa8 1544 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1545
864a5fa8 1546The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1547deleted by a make clean.
4633a7c4 1548
864a5fa8 1549=item XSOPT
8e07c86e 1550
864a5fa8 1551String of options to pass to xsubpp. This might include C<-C++> or
1552C<-extern>. Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
1553that purpose.
8e07c86e 1554
864a5fa8 1555=item XSPROTOARG
4633a7c4 1556
4e68a208 1557May be set to an empty string, which is identical to C<-prototypes>, or
864a5fa8 1558C<-noprototypes>. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker
4e68a208 1559defaults to the empty string.
1560
0d8023a2 1561=item XS_VERSION
1562
1563Your version number for the .xs file of this package. This defaults
1564to the value of the VERSION attribute.
1565
8e07c86e 1566=back
1567
1568=head2 Additional lowercase attributes
1569
1570can be used to pass parameters to the methods which implement that
f1387719 1571part of the Makefile.

f1387719 1587 ZIPFLAGS => '-rl', DIST_DEFAULT => 'private tardist' }
864a5fa8 1588
1589If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1590needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1591DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1592your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1593'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1594links the rest. Default is 'best'.

864a5fa8 1612with Pre-5.0 MakeMakers. Since version 5.00 of MakeMaker such a line

005c1a0e 1636=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1637
1638If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1639attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1640Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1641the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1642either say:
1643
1644 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1645
1646or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1647
8e07c86e 1648 sub MY::c_o {
f1387719 1649 my($inherited) = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
1650 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
1651 $inherited;
8e07c86e 1652 }
1653
f1387719 1654If you running experiments with embedding perl as a library into other
1655applications, you might find MakeMaker not sufficient. You'd better
1656have a look at ExtUtils::embed which is a collection of utilities for
1657embedding.
005c1a0e 1658
1659If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
1660subroutine, that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
8e07c86e 1661F<perl5-porters@nicoh.com> or F<comp.lang.perl.misc> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 1662
3b03c0f3 1663For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
1664
1665Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
1666Makefile:
1667
1668 sub MY::postamble {
1669 '
1670 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
1671 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
1672 ';
1673 }
1674
1675
f1387719 1676=head2 Hintsfile support
1677
1678MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
1679Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
1680in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
1681like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
1682name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
1683MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
1684execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
1685which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
1686
1687The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
1688WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
1689reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
1690override or create an attribute you would say something like
1691
1692 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
1693
005c1a0e 1694=head2 Distribution Support
1695
1696For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
1697targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
1698where additional documentation can be found.
1699
1700=over 4
1701
1702=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 1703
005c1a0e 1704reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
1705MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
1706details)
1707
4633a7c4 1708=item make skipcheck
1709
1710reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
1711C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
1712details)
1713
005c1a0e 1714=item make distclean
8e07c86e 1715
005c1a0e 1716does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
1717needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure, that the
1718MANIFEST file is ok.
1719
1720=item make manifest
8e07c86e 1721
005c1a0e 1722rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
1723ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
1724
1725=item make distdir
8e07c86e 1726
005c1a0e 1727Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
1728directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
1729exists, it will be removed first.
1730
8e07c86e 1731=item make disttest
1732
1733Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 1734a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 1735
005c1a0e 1736=item make tardist
8e07c86e 1737
3b03c0f3 1738First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 1739command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
1740UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
1741otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 1742deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
1743defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1744
1745=item make dist
8e07c86e 1746
005c1a0e 1747Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
1748
1749=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 1750
005c1a0e 1751Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
1752
1753=item make shdist
8e07c86e 1754
3b03c0f3 1755First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
1756command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
1757deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
1758$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
1759properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
1760
1761=item make zipdist
1762
1763First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
1764command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
1765zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
1766$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1767
1768=item make ci
8e07c86e 1769
1770Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
1771
1772=back
005c1a0e 1773
1774Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
1775reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
1776following parameters are recognized:
1777
8e07c86e 1778 CI ('ci -u')
005c1a0e 1779 COMPRESS ('compress')
005c1a0e 1780 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 1781 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 1782 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 1783 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
1784 SHAR ('shar')
1785 SUFFIX ('Z')
1786 TAR ('tar')
1787 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 1788 ZIP ('zip')
1789 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')
005c1a0e 1790
