8e07c86e 346The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
347most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
348subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
349supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 350
4633a7c4 351Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
352found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
353of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
354the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
355'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
356so.

840ExtUtils::MakeMaker - create an extension Makefile
841
842=head1 SYNOPSIS
843
844C<use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;>
845
846C<WriteMakefile( ATTRIBUTE =E<gt> VALUE [, ...] );>
847
8e07c86e 848which is really
849
850C<MM-E<gt>new(\%att)-E<gt>flush;>
851
005c1a0e 852=head1 DESCRIPTION
853
854This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
855from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
856Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
857
858It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
859that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
860it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
861
f1387719 862MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
863directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
864object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
865Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().
8e07c86e 866
f1387719 867=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
8e07c86e 868
bab2b58e 869The short answer is: Don't.
870
871 Always begin with h2xs.
872 Always begin with h2xs!
873 ALWAYS BEGIN WITH H2XS!
874
875even if you're not building around a header file, and even if you
876don't have an XS component.
877
878Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking about writing a module. For so
879called pm-only modules that consist of C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has
880the C<-X> switch. This will generate dummy files of all kinds that are
881useful for the module developer.
8e07c86e 882
f1387719 883The medium answer is:
8e07c86e 884
f1387719 885 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
886 WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
8e07c86e 887
bab2b58e 888The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
005c1a0e 889
890=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
891
f1387719 892The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
005c1a0e 893
894 perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
895 make
8e07c86e 896 make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
897 make install # See below
005c1a0e 898
899The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
e05e23b1 900form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
005c1a0e 901
e05e23b1 902 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
005c1a0e 903
904Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
905
906 make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
8e07c86e 907 make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
908 make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib)
e05e23b1 909 make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
005c1a0e 910 make dist # see below the Distribution Support section
911
e05e23b1 912=head2 make test
913
bab2b58e 914MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
e05e23b1 915current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
916of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
917set of perl C<-I> options.
918
919MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
920add commands to the test target of the generated Makefile that execute
921all matching files via the L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I>
922switches set correctly.
923
bab2b58e 924=head2 make testdb
925
926A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the
927test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file
928F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test.
929
930If you want to debug some other testfile, set C<TEST_FILE> variable
931thusly:
932
933 make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t
934
935By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you
936want to specify some other option, set C<TESTDB_SW> variable:
937
938 make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx
939
e05e23b1 940=head2 make install
005c1a0e 941
8e07c86e 942make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
f1387719 943the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_MAN1DIR, and
944INST_MAN3DIR. All these default to something below ./blib if you are
945I<not> building below the perl source directory. If you I<are>
8e07c86e 946building below the perl source, INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to
5b195008 947 ../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not defined.
005c1a0e 948
e05e23b1 949The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
950below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
951counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
952INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
005c1a0e 953
e05e23b1 954 INSTALLDIRS set to
955 perl site
956
e05e23b1 957 INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH
3b03c0f3 958 INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB
f1387719 959 INST_BIN INSTALLBIN
960 INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
e05e23b1 961 INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR
962 INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR
005c1a0e 963
8e07c86e 964The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
965($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
005c1a0e 966
3b03c0f3 967You can check the values of these variables on your system with
968
bab2b58e 969 perl '-V:install.*'
3b03c0f3 970
f1387719 971And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
972searched by perl, run
005c1a0e 973
f1387719 974 perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
005c1a0e 975
005c1a0e 976
bab2b58e 977=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
978
979PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
980go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might
981be
982
983 perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
005c1a0e 984
bab2b58e 985This will install the module's architecture-independent files into
986~/lib, the architecture-dependent files into ~/lib/$archname/auto.
987
988Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
989parameter is PREFIX.
005c1a0e 990
8e07c86e 991 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
005c1a0e 992
0d8023a2 993This will replace the string specified by $Config{prefix} in all
994$Config{install*} values.
005c1a0e 995
bab2b58e 996Note, that in both cases the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not
997by perl by default, nor by make. Conflicts between parmeters LIB,
998PREFIX and the various INSTALL* arguments are resolved so that
999XXX
005c1a0e 1000
005c1a0e 1001If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS
1002(Andrew File System) or relatives, then the defaults for
f1387719 1003INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate,
005c1a0e 1004and this incantation will be the best:
1005
1006 perl Makefile.PL; make; make test
1007 make install
1008
8e07c86e 1009make install per default writes some documentation of what has been
e05e23b1 1010done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
1011can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
8e07c86e 1012
1013=head2 AFS users
1014
1015will have to specify the installation directories as these most
1016probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
1017have to do this by calling
1018
e05e23b1 1019 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
f1387719 1020 INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
8e07c86e 1021 make
1022
e05e23b1 1023Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
1024extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
1025still valid.
005c1a0e 1026
8e07c86e 1027=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
005c1a0e 1028
1029An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
1030systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
1031dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
1032with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
1033by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
1034is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
1035
1036 make perl
1037
1038That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
e05e23b1 1039extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB , SITELIBEXP,
1040and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
1041UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you
1042want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you
1043delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through
1044for linkable libraries again.
005c1a0e 1045
1046The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
1047resides on your machine with
1048
1049 make inst_perl
1050
1051To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
1052
1053 perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
1054 make myperl
1055 make inst_perl
1056
1057or say
1058
1059 perl Makefile.PL
1060 make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1061 make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1062
1063In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
1064C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
1065
8e07c86e 1066make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been
1067done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
1068can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
005c1a0e 1069
e05e23b1 1070Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
1071existing perl binary. Use with care!
005c1a0e 1072
8e07c86e 1073Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
1074your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
1075set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
1076
1077 perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended
1078
1079or
1080
1081 make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems
1082
005c1a0e 1083=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
1084
1085MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
e05e23b1 1086located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
1087during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
1088existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
005c1a0e 1089
1090Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
e05e23b1 1091directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
1092is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
1093itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
1094below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
1095directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
1096extensions that come with perl.
005c1a0e 1097
1098If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
e05e23b1 1099source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
1100C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
1101a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
005c1a0e 1102
1103 PERL_INC = PERL_SRC
1104 PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1105 PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1106 INST_LIB = PERL_LIB
1107 INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
1108
1109If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
1110will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
1111of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
1112
e05e23b1 1113 PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE
1114 PERL_LIB = $privlibexp
1115 PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
1116 INST_LIB = ./blib/lib
1117 INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
005c1a0e 1118
1119If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
1120command line as shown in the previous section.
1121
005c1a0e 1122
f1387719 1123=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
005c1a0e 1124
f1387719 1125If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
1126MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
1127relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
1128by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
1129sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
1130then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
1131INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config ,
1132otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
1133for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
005c1a0e 1134
f1387719 1135MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
1136internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention,
1137that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
1138used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
1139be necessary, and should only be done, if the author of a package
1140recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
005c1a0e 1141
e05e23b1 1142=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
005c1a0e 1143
1144The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
1145or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
1146
8e07c86e 1147=cut
005c1a0e 1148
864a5fa8 1149# The following "=item C" is used by the attrib_help routine
8e07c86e 1150# likewise the "=back" below. So be careful when changing it!
1151
1152=over 2
1153
864a5fa8 1154=item C
8e07c86e 1155
864a5fa8 1156Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
1157and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
1158currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
8e07c86e 1159
864a5fa8 1160=item CONFIG
8e07c86e 1161
864a5fa8 1162Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
1163config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
1164ar
1165cc
1166cccdlflags
1167ccdlflags
1168dlext
1169dlsrc
1170ld
1171lddlflags
1172ldflags
1173libc
1174lib_ext
1175obj_ext
1176ranlib
e05e23b1 1177sitelibexp
1178sitearchexp
864a5fa8 1179so
8e07c86e 1180
1181=item CONFIGURE
1182
e05e23b1 1183CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
1fef88e7 1184hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to
8e07c86e 1185be determined by some evaluation method.
1186
864a5fa8 1187=item DEFINE
8e07c86e 1188
864a5fa8 1189Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
8e07c86e 1190
864a5fa8 1191=item DIR
8e07c86e 1192
864a5fa8 1193Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
1194] in ext/SDBM_File
8e07c86e 1195
864a5fa8 1196=item DISTNAME
8e07c86e 1197
e05e23b1 1198Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to
864a5fa8 1199NAME above.
8e07c86e 1200
864a5fa8 1201=item DL_FUNCS
8e07c86e 1202
864a5fa8 1203Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as
1204universal symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name
1205and an array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX
1206(export lists) and VMS (linker options) at present. The routine
1207names supplied will be expanded in the same way as XSUB names are
1208expanded by the XS() macro. Defaults to
8e07c86e 1209
864a5fa8 1210 {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
8e07c86e 1211
864a5fa8 1212e.g.
8e07c86e 1213
864a5fa8 1214 {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
1215 "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
8e07c86e 1216
864a5fa8 1217=item DL_VARS
8e07c86e 1218
864a5fa8 1219Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as
1220universal symbols. Used only under AIX (export lists) and VMS
1221(linker options) at present. Defaults to []. (e.g. [ qw(
1222Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
8e07c86e 1223
f1387719 1224=item EXCLUDE_EXT
1225
1226Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This
1227is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
1228details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
1229
1230This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
1231commandline: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
1232
864a5fa8 1233=item EXE_FILES
8e07c86e 1234
864a5fa8 1235Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
f1387719 1236INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
864a5fa8 1237again.
8e07c86e 1238
3b03c0f3 1239=item NO_VC
1240
1241In general any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
1242MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1243set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1244Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1245
864a5fa8 1246=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
1247
1248The name of the Makefile to be produced. Defaults to the contents of
1249MAKEFILE, but can be overridden. This is used for the second Makefile
1250that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
1251
1252=item FULLPERL
8e07c86e 1253
864a5fa8 1254Perl binary able to run this extension.
1255
1256=item H
1257
1258Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
1259
1260=item INC
1261
1262Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
1263
f1387719 1264=item INCLUDE_EXT
1265
1266Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
1267MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
1268doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If
1269INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
1270which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
1271
1272It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
1273filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
1274only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
1275
1276This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
1277commandline: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek'
1278
864a5fa8 1279=item INSTALLARCHLIB
1280
e05e23b1 1281Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1282directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
864a5fa8 1283
1284=item INSTALLBIN
1285
f1387719 1286Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into.
e05e23b1 1287
1288=item INSTALLDIRS
1289
1290Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1291choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1292installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1293second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.
8e07c86e 1294
1295=item INSTALLMAN1DIR
1296
864a5fa8 1297This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1298$Config{installman1dir}.
1299
8e07c86e 1300=item INSTALLMAN3DIR
1301
864a5fa8 1302This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1303$Config{installman3dir}.
8e07c86e 1304
864a5fa8 1305=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1306
e05e23b1 1307Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1308directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
1309
f1387719 1310=item INSTALLSCRIPT
1311
1312Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1313directory.
1314
e05e23b1 1315=item INSTALLSITELIB
1316
1317Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1318directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
1319
1320=item INSTALLSITEARCH
1321
1322Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1323directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
8e07c86e 1324
864a5fa8 1325=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1326
864a5fa8 1327Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1328
f1387719 1329=item INST_BIN
1330
1331Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1332to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1333
864a5fa8 1334=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1335
f1387719 1336Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1337need to use it.
8e07c86e 1338
864a5fa8 1339=item INST_LIB
8e07c86e 1340
864a5fa8 1341Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1342it.
8e07c86e 1343
864a5fa8 1344=item INST_MAN1DIR
8e07c86e 1345
864a5fa8 1346Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1347
864a5fa8 1348=item INST_MAN3DIR
8e07c86e 1349
864a5fa8 1350Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1351
f1387719 1352=item INST_SCRIPT
1353
1354Directory, where executable files should be installed during
1355'make'. Defaults to "./blib/bin", just to have a dummy location during
1356testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1357INSTALLSCRIPT.
1358
864a5fa8 1359=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1360
864a5fa8 1361defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1362what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1363specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1364
864a5fa8 1365=item LIBPERL_A
8e07c86e 1366
864a5fa8 1367The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1368extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
8e07c86e 1369
bab2b58e 1370=item LIB
1371
1372LIB can only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time. It has the effect of
1373setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any
1374
8e07c86e 1375=item LIBS
1376
1377An anonymous array of alternative library
1378specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1379at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1380
1381 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1382
1383Mind, that any element of the array
1384contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1385command. So do not specify
1386
1387 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1388
1389See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1390you specify a scalar as in
1391
1392 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1393
1394MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1395
864a5fa8 1396=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1397
e05e23b1 1398'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1399config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1400linkext below).
8e07c86e 1401
864a5fa8 1402=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1403
864a5fa8 1404Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1405make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1406MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1407
864a5fa8 1408=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1409
864a5fa8 1410The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1411
864a5fa8 1412=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1413
864a5fa8 1414Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1415EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1416here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1417at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1418
864a5fa8 1419=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1420
864a5fa8 1421Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1422 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1423here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1424at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1425
864a5fa8 1426=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1427
864a5fa8 1428If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1429may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1430
864a5fa8 1431=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1432
864a5fa8 1433If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1434name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1435
864a5fa8 1436=item NAME
8e07c86e 1437
864a5fa8 1438Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1439to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1440Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1441
864a5fa8 1442=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1443
864a5fa8 1444MakeMaker will figure out, if an extension contains linkable code
1445anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
1446accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit, if you define
1447this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1448
e05e23b1 1449=item NOECHO
1450
f1387719 1451Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1452Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1453itself.
1454
864a5fa8 1455=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1456
e05e23b1 1457Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1458
864a5fa8 1459=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1460
864a5fa8 1461List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1462string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1463tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1464
3b03c0f3 1465=item OPTIMIZE
1466
1467Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1468passed to subdirectory makes.
1469
864a5fa8 1470=item PERL
8e07c86e 1471
864a5fa8 1472Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1473
864a5fa8 1474=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1475
864a5fa8 1476The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1477to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1478
864a5fa8 1479=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1480
864a5fa8 1481Same as above for architecture dependent files
8e07c86e 1482
864a5fa8 1483=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1484
864a5fa8 1485Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1486
864a5fa8 1487=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1488
864a5fa8 1489Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1490avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1491
864a5fa8 1492=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1493
864a5fa8 1494Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1495will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1496and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1497
864a5fa8 1498 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1499
864a5fa8 1500The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
1501themselves.
8e07c86e 1502
864a5fa8 1503=item PM
8e07c86e 1504
864a5fa8 1505Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1506
864a5fa8 1507 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1508
864a5fa8 1509By default this will include *.pm and *.pl. If a lib directory
1510exists and is not listed in DIR (above) then any *.pm and *.pl files
1511it contains will also be included by default. Defining PM in the
1512Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1513
864a5fa8 1514=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1515
864a5fa8 1516Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
1517[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and any files
1518they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1519library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1520Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1521
864a5fa8 1522=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1523
864a5fa8 1524Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1525probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1526%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1527branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1528decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1529them, of course).
8e07c86e 1530
f1387719 1531=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1532
f1387719 1533Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1534extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1535desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1536only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1537
864a5fa8 1538=item SKIP
8e07c86e 1539
864a5fa8 1540Arryref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
f1387719 1541Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the neglectible
1542speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it,
1543if you really need it.
8e07c86e 1544
864a5fa8 1545=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1546
864a5fa8 1547Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1548in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1549not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1550precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1551precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1552typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1553
864a5fa8 1554=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1555
864a5fa8 1556Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
15570.1.
8e07c86e 1558
0d8023a2 1559=item VERSION_FROM
1560
1561Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1562MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1563routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1564single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1565that contains the regular expression
1566
5b195008 1567 /\$(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/
0d8023a2 1568
1569will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1570B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1571MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1572
1573 $VERSION = '1.00';
ff0cee69 1574 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.211 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1575 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
1576
1577but these will fail:
1578
1579 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1580 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1581 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1582
1583The file named in VERSION_FROM is added as a dependency to Makefile to
1584guarantee, that the Makefile contains the correct VERSION macro after
1585a change of the file.
1586
864a5fa8 1587=item XS
8e07c86e 1588
864a5fa8 1589Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1590
864a5fa8 1591 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1592
864a5fa8 1593The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1594deleted by a make clean.
4633a7c4 1595
864a5fa8 1596=item XSOPT
8e07c86e 1597
864a5fa8 1598String of options to pass to xsubpp. This might include C<-C++> or
1599C<-extern>. Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
1600that purpose.
8e07c86e 1601
864a5fa8 1602=item XSPROTOARG
4633a7c4 1603
4e68a208 1604May be set to an empty string, which is identical to C<-prototypes>, or
864a5fa8 1605C<-noprototypes>. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker
4e68a208 1606defaults to the empty string.
1607
0d8023a2 1608=item XS_VERSION
1609
1610Your version number for the .xs file of this package. This defaults
1611to the value of the VERSION attribute.
1612
8e07c86e 1613=back
1614
1615=head2 Additional lowercase attributes
1616
1617can be used to pass parameters to the methods which implement that
f1387719 1618part of the Makefile.

f1387719 1634 ZIPFLAGS => '-rl', DIST_DEFAULT => 'private tardist' }
864a5fa8 1635
1636If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1637needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1638DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1639your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1640'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1641links the rest. Default is 'best'.

005c1a0e 1683=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1684
1685If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1686attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1687Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1688the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1689either say:
1690
1691 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1692
1693or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1694
8e07c86e 1695 sub MY::c_o {
14870ecd 1696 package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
1697 my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
f1387719 1698 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
1699 $inherited;
8e07c86e 1700 }
1701
f1387719 1702If you running experiments with embedding perl as a library into other
1703applications, you might find MakeMaker not sufficient. You'd better
1704have a look at ExtUtils::embed which is a collection of utilities for
1705embedding.
005c1a0e 1706
1707If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
1708subroutine, that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
8e07c86e 1709F<perl5-porters@nicoh.com> or F<comp.lang.perl.misc> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 1710
3b03c0f3 1711For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
1712
1713Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
1714Makefile:
1715
1716 sub MY::postamble {
1717 '
1718 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
1719 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
1720 ';
1721 }
1722
1723
f1387719 1724=head2 Hintsfile support
1725
1726MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
1727Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
1728in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
1729like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
1730name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
1731MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
1732execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
1733which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
1734
1735The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
1736WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
1737reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
1738override or create an attribute you would say something like
1739
1740 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
1741
005c1a0e 1742=head2 Distribution Support
1743
1744For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
1745targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
1746where additional documentation can be found.
1747
1748=over 4
1749
1750=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 1751
005c1a0e 1752reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
1753MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
1754details)
1755
4633a7c4 1756=item make skipcheck
1757
1758reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
1759C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
1760details)
1761
005c1a0e 1762=item make distclean
8e07c86e 1763
005c1a0e 1764does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
1765needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure, that the
1766MANIFEST file is ok.
1767
1768=item make manifest
8e07c86e 1769
005c1a0e 1770rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
1771ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
1772
1773=item make distdir
8e07c86e 1774
005c1a0e 1775Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
1776directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
1777exists, it will be removed first.
1778
8e07c86e 1779=item make disttest
1780
1781Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 1782a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 1783
005c1a0e 1784=item make tardist
8e07c86e 1785
3b03c0f3 1786First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 1787command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
1788UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
1789otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 1790deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
1791defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1792
1793=item make dist
8e07c86e 1794
005c1a0e 1795Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
1796
1797=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 1798
005c1a0e 1799Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
1800
1801=item make shdist
8e07c86e 1802
3b03c0f3 1803First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
1804command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
1805deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
1806$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
1807properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
1808
1809=item make zipdist
1810
1811First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
1812command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
1813zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
1814$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1815
1816=item make ci
8e07c86e 1817
1818Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
1819
1820=back
005c1a0e 1821
1822Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
1823reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
1824following parameters are recognized:
1825
8e07c86e 1826 CI ('ci -u')
005c1a0e 1827 COMPRESS ('compress')
005c1a0e 1828 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 1829 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 1830 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 1831 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
1832 SHAR ('shar')
1833 SUFFIX ('Z')
1834 TAR ('tar')
1835 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 1836 ZIP ('zip')
1837 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')
005c1a0e 1838
