8e07c86e 351The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
352most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
353subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
354supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 355
4633a7c4 356Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
357found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
358of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
359the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
360'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
361so.

895
005c1a0e 896=head1 DESCRIPTION
897
898This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
899from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
900Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
901
902It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
903that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
904it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
905
f1387719 906MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
907directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
908object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
909Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().
8e07c86e 910
f1387719 911=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
8e07c86e 912
bab2b58e 913The short answer is: Don't.
914
915 Always begin with h2xs.
916 Always begin with h2xs!
917 ALWAYS BEGIN WITH H2XS!
918
919even if you're not building around a header file, and even if you
920don't have an XS component.
921
922Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking about writing a module. For so
923called pm-only modules that consist of C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has
924the C<-X> switch. This will generate dummy files of all kinds that are
925useful for the module developer.

f1387719 927The medium answer is:
8e07c86e 928
f1387719 929 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
930 WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
8e07c86e 931
bab2b58e 932The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
005c1a0e 933
934=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
935
f1387719 936The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
005c1a0e 937
938 perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
939 make
8e07c86e 940 make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
941 make install # See below
005c1a0e 942
943The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
e05e23b1 944form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
005c1a0e 945
e05e23b1 946 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
005c1a0e 947
948Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
949
950 make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
8e07c86e 951 make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
952 make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib)
e05e23b1 953 make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
005c1a0e 954 make dist # see below the Distribution Support section
955
e05e23b1 956=head2 make test
957
bab2b58e 958MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
e05e23b1 959current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
960of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
961set of perl C<-I> options.
962
963MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
964add commands to the test target of the generated Makefile that execute
965all matching files via the L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I>
966switches set correctly.
967
bab2b58e 968=head2 make testdb
969
970A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the
971test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file
972F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test.
973
974If you want to debug some other testfile, set C<TEST_FILE> variable
975thusly:
976
977 make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t
978
979By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you
980want to specify some other option, set C<TESTDB_SW> variable:
981
982 make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx
983
e05e23b1 984=head2 make install
005c1a0e 985
8e07c86e 986make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
cae6c631 987the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_HTMLLIBDIR,
988INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR, INST_MAN1DIR, and INST_MAN3DIR. All these default
989to something below ./blib if you are I<not> building below the perl
990source directory. If you I<are> building below the perl source,
991INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to ../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not
992defined.
005c1a0e 993
e05e23b1 994The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
995below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
996counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
997INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
005c1a0e 998
cae6c631 999 INSTALLDIRS set to
1000 perl site
e05e23b1 1001
cae6c631 1002 INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH
1003 INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB
1004 INST_HTMLLIBDIR INSTALLHTMLPRIVLIBDIR INSTALLHTMLSITELIBDIR
1005 INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR INSTALLHTMLSCRIPTDIR
1006 INST_BIN INSTALLBIN
1007 INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
1008 INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR
1009 INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR
005c1a0e 1010
8e07c86e 1011The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
1012($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
005c1a0e 1013
3b03c0f3 1014You can check the values of these variables on your system with
1015
bab2b58e 1016 perl '-V:install.*'
3b03c0f3 1017
f1387719 1018And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
1019searched by perl, run
005c1a0e 1020
f1387719 1021 perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
005c1a0e 1022
005c1a0e 1023
bab2b58e 1024=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
1025
1026PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
1027go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might
1028be
1029
1030 perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
005c1a0e 1031
bab2b58e 1032This will install the module's architecture-independent files into
1033~/lib, the architecture-dependent files into ~/lib/$archname/auto.
1034
1035Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
1036parameter is PREFIX.
005c1a0e 1037
8e07c86e 1038 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
005c1a0e 1039
0d8023a2 1040This will replace the string specified by $Config{prefix} in all
1041$Config{install*} values.
005c1a0e 1042
bab2b58e 1043Note, that in both cases the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not
de592821 1044by perl by default, nor by make. Conflicts between parameters LIB,
bab2b58e 1045PREFIX and the various INSTALL* arguments are resolved so that
1046XXX
005c1a0e 1047
005c1a0e 1048If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS
1049(Andrew File System) or relatives, then the defaults for
f1387719 1050INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate,
005c1a0e 1051and this incantation will be the best:
1052
1053 perl Makefile.PL; make; make test
1054 make install
1055
8e07c86e 1056make install per default writes some documentation of what has been
e05e23b1 1057done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
1058can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
8e07c86e 1059
1060=head2 AFS users
1061
1062will have to specify the installation directories as these most
1063probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
1064have to do this by calling
1065
e05e23b1 1066 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
f1387719 1067 INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
8e07c86e 1068 make
1069
e05e23b1 1070Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
1071extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
1072still valid.
005c1a0e 1073
8e07c86e 1074=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
005c1a0e 1075
1076An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
1077systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
1078dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
1079with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
1080by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
1081is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
1082
1083 make perl
1084
1085That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
e05e23b1 1086extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB , SITELIBEXP,
1087and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
1088UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you
1089want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you
1090delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through
1091for linkable libraries again.
005c1a0e 1092
1093The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
1094resides on your machine with
1095
1096 make inst_perl
1097
1098To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
1099
1100 perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
1101 make myperl
1102 make inst_perl
1103
1104or say
1105
1106 perl Makefile.PL
1107 make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1108 make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1109
1110In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
1111C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
1112
8e07c86e 1113make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been
1114done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
1115can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
005c1a0e 1116
e05e23b1 1117Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
1118existing perl binary. Use with care!
005c1a0e 1119
8e07c86e 1120Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
1121your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
1122set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
1123
1124 perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended
1125
1126or
1127
1128 make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems
1129
005c1a0e 1130=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
1131
1132MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
e05e23b1 1133located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
1134during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
1135existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
005c1a0e 1136
1137Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
e05e23b1 1138directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
1139is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
1140itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
1141below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
1142directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
1143extensions that come with perl.
005c1a0e 1144
1145If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
e05e23b1 1146source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
1147C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
1148a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
005c1a0e 1149
1150 PERL_INC = PERL_SRC
1151 PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1152 PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1153 INST_LIB = PERL_LIB
1154 INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
1155
1156If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
1157will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
1158of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
1159
e05e23b1 1160 PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE
1161 PERL_LIB = $privlibexp
1162 PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
1163 INST_LIB = ./blib/lib
1164 INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
005c1a0e 1165
1166If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
1167command line as shown in the previous section.
1168
005c1a0e 1169
f1387719 1170=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
005c1a0e 1171
f1387719 1172If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
1173MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
1174relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
1175by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
1176sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
1177then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
1178INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config ,
1179otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
1180for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
005c1a0e 1181
f1387719 1182MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
1183internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention,
1184that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
1185used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
a7665c5e 1186be necessary, and should only be done if the author of a package
f1387719 1187recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
005c1a0e 1188
e05e23b1 1189=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
005c1a0e 1190
1191The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
1192or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
1193
875fa795 1194=over 2
005c1a0e 1195
875fa795 1196=item AUTHOR
8e07c86e 1197
875fa795 1198String containing name (and email address) of package author(s). Is used
1199in PPD (Perl Package Description) files for PPM (Perl Package Manager).
1200
1201=item ABSTRACT
1202
1203One line description of the module. Will be included in PPD file.
1204
1205=item ABSTRACT_FROM
1206
1207Name of the file that contains the package description. MakeMaker looks
1208for a line in the POD matching /^($package\s-\s)(.*)/. This is typically
1209the first line in the "=head1 NAME" section. $2 becomes the abstract.
1210
1211=item BINARY_LOCATION
1212
1213Used when creating PPD files for binary packages. It can be set to a
1214full or relative path or URL to the binary archive for a particular
1215architecture. For example:
1216
1217 perl Makefile.PL BINARY_LOCATION=x86/Agent.tar.gz
1218
1219builds a PPD package that references a binary of the C<Agent> package,
20e08411 1220located in the C<x86> directory relative to the PPD itself.
8e07c86e 1221
864a5fa8 1222=item C
8e07c86e 1223
864a5fa8 1224Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
1225and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
1226currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
8e07c86e 1227
875fa795 1228=item CAPI
1229
c5be433b 1230[This attribute is obsolete in Perl 5.6. PERL_OBJECT builds are C-compatible
1231by default.]
1232
875fa795 1233Switch to force usage of the Perl C API even when compiling for PERL_OBJECT.
1234
65d36135 1235Note that this attribute is passed through to any recursive build,
1236but if and only if the submodule's Makefile.PL itself makes no mention
1237of the 'CAPI' attribute.
1238
84902520 1239=item CCFLAGS
1240
1241String that will be included in the compiler call command line between
1242the arguments INC and OPTIMIZE.
1243
864a5fa8 1244=item CONFIG
8e07c86e 1245
864a5fa8 1246Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
1247config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
1248ar
1249cc
1250cccdlflags
1251ccdlflags
1252dlext
1253dlsrc
1254ld
1255lddlflags
1256ldflags
1257libc
1258lib_ext
1259obj_ext
1260ranlib
e05e23b1 1261sitelibexp
1262sitearchexp
864a5fa8 1263so
8e07c86e 1264
1265=item CONFIGURE
1266
e05e23b1 1267CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
1fef88e7 1268hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to
8e07c86e 1269be determined by some evaluation method.
1270
864a5fa8 1271=item DEFINE
8e07c86e 1272
864a5fa8 1273Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
8e07c86e 1274
864a5fa8 1275=item DIR
8e07c86e 1276
864a5fa8 1277Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
1278] in ext/SDBM_File
8e07c86e 1279
864a5fa8 1280=item DISTNAME
8e07c86e 1281
e05e23b1 1282Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to
864a5fa8 1283NAME above.
8e07c86e 1284
864a5fa8 1285=item DL_FUNCS
8e07c86e 1286
875fa795 1287Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as universal
1288symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name and an
1289array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX, OS/2,
1290VMS and Win32 at present. The routine names supplied will be expanded
1291in the same way as XSUB names are expanded by the XS() macro.
1292Defaults to
8e07c86e 1293
864a5fa8 1294 {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
8e07c86e 1295
864a5fa8 1296e.g.
8e07c86e 1297
864a5fa8 1298 {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
1299 "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
8e07c86e 1300
875fa795 1301Please see the L<ExtUtils::Mksymlists> documentation for more information
1302about the DL_FUNCS, DL_VARS and FUNCLIST attributes.
1303
864a5fa8 1304=item DL_VARS
8e07c86e 1305
875fa795 1306Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as universal symbols.
1307Used only under AIX, OS/2, VMS and Win32 at present. Defaults to [].
1308(e.g. [ qw(Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
8e07c86e 1309
f1387719 1310=item EXCLUDE_EXT
1311
1312Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This
1313is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
1314details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
1315
1316This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
de592821 1317command line: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
f1387719 1318
864a5fa8 1319=item EXE_FILES
8e07c86e 1320
864a5fa8 1321Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
f1387719 1322INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
864a5fa8 1323again.
8e07c86e 1324
864a5fa8 1325=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
1326
1327The name of the Makefile to be produced. Defaults to the contents of
1328MAKEFILE, but can be overridden. This is used for the second Makefile
1329that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
1330
1331=item FULLPERL
8e07c86e 1332
864a5fa8 1333Perl binary able to run this extension.
1334
762efda7 1335=item FUNCLIST
1336
1337This provides an alternate means to specify function names to be
1338exported from the extension. Its value is a reference to an
1339array of function names to be exported by the extension. These
1340names are passed through unaltered to the linker options file.
1341
864a5fa8 1342=item H
1343
1344Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
1345
cae6c631 1346=item HTMLLIBPODS
1347
1348Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1349 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1350here will be converted to HTML format and installed as was requested
1351at Configure time.
1352
1353=item HTMLSCRIPTPODS
1354
1355Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1356EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1357here will be converted to HTML format and installed as was requested
1358at Configure time.
1359
84902520 1360=item IMPORTS
1361
875fa795 1362This attribute is used to specify names to be imported into the
1363extension. It is only used on OS/2 and Win32.
84902520 1364
864a5fa8 1365=item INC
1366
1367Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
1368
f1387719 1369=item INCLUDE_EXT
1370
1371Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
1372MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
1373doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If
1374INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
1375which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
1376
1377It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
1378filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
1379only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
1380
1381This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
de592821 1382command line: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek'
f1387719 1383
864a5fa8 1384=item INSTALLARCHLIB
1385
e05e23b1 1386Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1387directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
864a5fa8 1388
1389=item INSTALLBIN
1390
f1387719 1391Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into.

1394
1395Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1396choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1397installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1398second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.

8e07c86e 1425
864a5fa8 1426=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1427
e05e23b1 1428Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1429directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
1430
f1387719 1431=item INSTALLSCRIPT
1432
1433Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1434directory.
1435
875fa795 1436=item INSTALLSITEARCH
e05e23b1 1437
875fa795 1438Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
e05e23b1 1439directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
1440

864a5fa8 1446=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1447
864a5fa8 1448Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1449
f1387719 1450=item INST_BIN
1451
1452Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1453to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1454
864a5fa8 1455=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1456
f1387719 1457Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1458need to use it.

864a5fa8 1460=item INST_LIB
8e07c86e 1461
864a5fa8 1462Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1463it.

f1387719 1481=item INST_SCRIPT
1482
1483Directory, where executable files should be installed during
c3fed81c 1484'make'. Defaults to "./blib/script", just to have a dummy location during
f1387719 1485testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1486INSTALLSCRIPT.
1487
ee13e175 1488=item PERL_MALLOC_OK
1489
1490defaults to 0. Should be set to TRUE if the extension can work with
1491the memory allocation routines substituted by the Perl malloc() subsystem.
1492This should be applicable to most extensions with exceptions of those
1493
1494=over
1495
1496=item *
1497
1498with bugs in memory allocations which are caught by Perl's malloc();
1499
1500=item *
1501
1502which interact with the memory allocator in other ways than via
1503malloc(), realloc(), free(), calloc(), sbrk() and brk();
1504
1505=item *
1506
1507which rely on special alignment which is not provided by Perl's malloc().
1508
1509=back
1510
1511B<NOTE.> Negligence to set this flag in I<any one> of loaded extension
1512nullifies many advantages of Perl's malloc(), such as better usage of
1513system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure
1514of memory allocations, etc.
1515
864a5fa8 1516=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1517
864a5fa8 1518defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1519what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1520specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1521
bab2b58e 1522=item LIB
1523
1524LIB can only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time. It has the effect of
1525setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any
1526
762efda7 1527=item LIBPERL_A
1528
1529The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1530extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
1531
8e07c86e 1532=item LIBS
1533
1534An anonymous array of alternative library
1535specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1536at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1537
1538 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1539
1540Mind, that any element of the array
1541contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1542command. So do not specify
1543
1544 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1545
1546See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1547you specify a scalar as in
1548
1549 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1550
1551MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1552
864a5fa8 1553=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1554
e05e23b1 1555'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1556config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1557linkext below).
8e07c86e 1558
864a5fa8 1559=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1560
864a5fa8 1561Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1562make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1563MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1564
864a5fa8 1565=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1566
864a5fa8 1567The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1568
864a5fa8 1569=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1570
864a5fa8 1571Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1572EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1573here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1574at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1575
864a5fa8 1576=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1577
864a5fa8 1578Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1579 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1580here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1581at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1582
864a5fa8 1583=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1584
864a5fa8 1585If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1586may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1587
864a5fa8 1588=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1589
864a5fa8 1590If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1591name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1592
864a5fa8 1593=item NAME
8e07c86e 1594
864a5fa8 1595Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1596to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1597Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1598
864a5fa8 1599=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1600
a7665c5e 1601MakeMaker will figure out if an extension contains linkable code
864a5fa8 1602anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
a7665c5e 1603accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit if you define
864a5fa8 1604this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1605
e05e23b1 1606=item NOECHO
1607
f1387719 1608Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1609Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1610itself.
1611
864a5fa8 1612=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1613
e05e23b1 1614Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1615
762efda7 1616=item NO_VC
1617
a7665c5e 1618In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
762efda7 1619MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1620set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1621Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1622
864a5fa8 1623=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1624
864a5fa8 1625List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1626string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1627tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1628
3b03c0f3 1629=item OPTIMIZE
1630
1631Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1632passed to subdirectory makes.
1633
864a5fa8 1634=item PERL
8e07c86e 1635
864a5fa8 1636Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1637
864a5fa8 1638=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1639
864a5fa8 1640The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1641to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1642
864a5fa8 1643=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1644
a7665c5e 1645Same as above for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1646
864a5fa8 1647=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1648
864a5fa8 1649Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1650
864a5fa8 1651=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1652
864a5fa8 1653Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1654avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1655
2366100d 1656=item PERM_RW
1657
de592821 1658Desired permission for read/writable files. Defaults to C<644>.
2366100d 1659See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rw>.
1660
1661=item PERM_RWX
1662
1663Desired permission for executable files. Defaults to C<755>.
1664See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rwx>.
1665
864a5fa8 1666=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1667
864a5fa8 1668Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1669will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1670and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1671
864a5fa8 1672 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1673
864a5fa8 1674The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
3aa35033 1675themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL
1676file then the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of
1677target file names. E.g.
1678
1679 {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']}
8e07c86e 1680
864a5fa8 1681=item PM
8e07c86e 1682
864a5fa8 1683Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1684
864a5fa8 1685 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1686
a3cb178b 1687By default this will include *.pm and *.pl and the files found in
1688the PMLIBDIRS directories. Defining PM in the
864a5fa8 1689Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1690
864a5fa8 1691=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1692
864a5fa8 1693Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
a3cb178b 1694[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and I<any> files
864a5fa8 1695they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1696library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1697Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1698
2aea4d40 1699=item POLLUTE
1700
1701Release 5.005 grandfathered old global symbol names by providing preprocessor
a7665c5e 1702macros for extension source compatibility. As of release 5.6, these
2aea4d40 1703preprocessor definitions are not available by default. The POLLUTE flag
1704specifies that the old names should still be defined:
1705
1706 perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
1707
1708Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install
a7665c5e 1709a module under 5.6 or later.
2aea4d40 1710
875fa795 1711=item PPM_INSTALL_EXEC
1712
20e08411 1713Name of the executable used to run C<PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT> below. (e.g. perl)
875fa795 1714
1715=item PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT
1716
1717Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager after
1718the installation of a package.
1719
864a5fa8 1720=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1721
864a5fa8 1722Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1723probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1724%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1725branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1726decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1727them, of course).
8e07c86e 1728
f1387719 1729=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1730
f1387719 1731Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1732extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1733desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1734only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1735
864a5fa8 1736=item SKIP
8e07c86e 1737
864a5fa8 1738Arryref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
a7665c5e 1739Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible
1740speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it
f1387719 1741if you really need it.
8e07c86e 1742
864a5fa8 1743=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1744
864a5fa8 1745Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1746in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1747not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1748precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1749precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1750typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1751
864a5fa8 1752=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1753
864a5fa8 1754Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
17550.1.
8e07c86e 1756
0d8023a2 1757=item VERSION_FROM
1758
1759Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1760MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1761routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1762single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1763that contains the regular expression
1764
84902520 1765 /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/
0d8023a2 1766
1767will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1768B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1769MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1770
1771 $VERSION = '1.00';
84902520 1772 *VERSION = \'1.01';
2366100d 1773 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.222 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1774 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
84902520 1775 *FOO::VERSION = \'1.11';
0d8023a2 1776
1777but these will fail:
1778
1779 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1780 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1781 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1782
84902520 1783The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to
1784Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain
1785during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish
1786change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile
1787contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you
1788would have to do something like
1789
1790 depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
1791
1792See attribute C<depend> below.
0d8023a2 1793
864a5fa8 1794=item XS
8e07c86e 1795
864a5fa8 1796Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1797
864a5fa8 1798 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1799
864a5fa8 1800The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1801deleted by a make clean.
4633a7c4 1802
864a5fa8 1803=item XSOPT
8e07c86e 1804
864a5fa8 1805String of options to pass to xsubpp. This might include C<-C++> or
1806C<-extern>. Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
1807that purpose.
8e07c86e 1808
864a5fa8 1809=item XSPROTOARG
4633a7c4 1810
4e68a208 1811May be set to an empty string, which is identical to C<-prototypes>, or
864a5fa8 1812C<-noprototypes>. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker
4e68a208 1813defaults to the empty string.
1814
0d8023a2 1815=item XS_VERSION
1816
1817Your version number for the .xs file of this package. This defaults
1818to the value of the VERSION attribute.
1819
8e07c86e 1820=back
1821
1822=head2 Additional lowercase attributes
1823
1824can be used to pass parameters to the methods which implement that
f1387719 1825part of the Makefile.

f1387719 1841 ZIPFLAGS => '-rl', DIST_DEFAULT => 'private tardist' }
864a5fa8 1842
1843If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1844needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1845DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1846your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1847'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1848links the rest. Default is 'best'.

1884=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1885
1886If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1887attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1888Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1889the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1890either say:
1891
1892 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1893
1894or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1895
8e07c86e 1896 sub MY::c_o {
14870ecd 1897 package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
1898 my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
f1387719 1899 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
1900 $inherited;
8e07c86e 1901 }
1902
bdda3fbd 1903If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into
1904other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient. You'd
1905better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities
1906for embedding.
005c1a0e 1907
1908If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
bdda3fbd 1909subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
1910F<perl5-porters@perl.org> or F<comp.lang.perl.moderated> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 1911
3b03c0f3 1912For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
1913
1914Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
1915Makefile:
1916
1917 sub MY::postamble {
1918 '
1919 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
1920 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
1921 ';
1922 }
1923
1924
f1387719 1925=head2 Hintsfile support
1926
1927MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
1928Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
1929in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
1930like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
1931name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
1932MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
1933execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
1934which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
1935
1936The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
1937WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
1938reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
1939override or create an attribute you would say something like
1940
1941 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
1942
005c1a0e 1943=head2 Distribution Support
1944
1945For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
1946targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
1947where additional documentation can be found.
1948
1949=over 4
1950
1951=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 1952
005c1a0e 1953reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
1954MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
1955details)
1956
4633a7c4 1957=item make skipcheck
1958
1959reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
1960C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
1961details)
1962
005c1a0e 1963=item make distclean
8e07c86e 1964
005c1a0e 1965does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
a7665c5e 1966needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure that the
005c1a0e 1967MANIFEST file is ok.
1968
1969=item make manifest
8e07c86e 1970
005c1a0e 1971rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
1972ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
1973
1974=item make distdir
8e07c86e 1975
005c1a0e 1976Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
1977directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
1978exists, it will be removed first.
1979
8e07c86e 1980=item make disttest
1981
1982Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 1983a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 1984
005c1a0e 1985=item make tardist
8e07c86e 1986
3b03c0f3 1987First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 1988command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
1989UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
1990otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 1991deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
1992defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1993
1994=item make dist
8e07c86e 1995
005c1a0e 1996Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
1997
1998=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 1999
005c1a0e 2000Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
2001
2002=item make shdist
8e07c86e 2003
3b03c0f3 2004First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2005command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
2006deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
2007$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
2008properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
2009
2010=item make zipdist
2011
2012First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2013command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
2014zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
2015$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2016
2017=item make ci
8e07c86e 2018
2019Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
2020
2021=back
005c1a0e 2022
2023Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
2024reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
2025following parameters are recognized:
2026
8e07c86e 2027 CI ('ci -u')
5f8e730b 2028 COMPRESS ('gzip --best')
005c1a0e 2029 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 2030 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 2031 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 2032 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
2033 SHAR ('shar')
5f8e730b 2034 SUFFIX ('.gz')
8e07c86e 2035 TAR ('tar')
2036 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 2037 ZIP ('zip')
2038 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')
005c1a0e 2039
2040An example:
2041
5f8e730b 2042 WriteMakefile( 'dist' => { COMPRESS=>"bzip2", SUFFIX=>".bz2" })

1b171b8d 2044=head2 Disabling an extension
2045
2046If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
2047to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
2048can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
2049"usual" build targets. To do so, use
2050
2051 ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile();
2052
2053instead of WriteMakefile().
2054
2055This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
2056OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
2057in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
2058dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
2059different means on the current architecture).
